Wing Chun

I see that you have decide to drop in on my Wing Chun page. Like I said earlier, I am currenty studing wing chun during my free time. My sifu teaches Tuesdays and Thursday from 5:30pm Central time to 7:30pm Central time. Just a little information about Wing Chun for those of you who do not know what I am talking about.

Wing Chun is the name of a system of martial arts developed in southern China approximately 300 years ago. Its originator, the Buddhist nun Ng Mui, was a master of Shaolin Kung Fu and used this knowledge to invent a way to take advantage of the weaknesses inherent in the other Shaolin systems. This new system was well-guarded and passed on to only a few, very dedicated students. Later, the style became known as Wing Chun, after Ng Mui's first student, a woman named Yim Wing Chun. In 1949, Yip Man, who was considered to be the grandmaster of modern Wing Chun, brought the style out of China into Hong Kong and eventually to the rest of the world.

Grand Master Yip Man

Like I said earlier, if I trace history back from my sifu, it leads directly to Yip Man, the grandmaster of Wing Chun. Here is a picture of the wooden dummy use to help your form as well as your techniques when practicing.

Last but not least I would like to include a picture of Bruce Lee, the man who most people try to impose his style of fighting.
