“Simplicity is the key to brilliance.”
Wing Chun, also known as Ving Tsun, is one of the famous styles of Kung Fu created by Shaolin Nun Ng Mui during the 1700s. She combined the best techniques of traditional Shaolin Kung Fu into a simple and effective style. She later taught the style to Wing Chun, whom she named the art after.
There are only three empty-hand forms in Wing Chun, Siu Lim Tao, Chum Kiu, and Biu Gee. Each form trains the student from beginner to advance respectively. Wing Chun practitioners also practice Chi Sau and Wooden Dummy training to develop faster reflexes. Linear strikes and pressure point attacks makes Wing Chun a very effective style of Kung Fu.
Because of its simplicity and easy to learn forms, Wing Chun is a very popular style of Kung Fu not only in China but in the western countries as well. It was made known to the west by Bruce Lee in the late 1960s in what was the single most influential introduction of Chinese Kung Fu outside of China. Bruce Lee’s association with Wing Chun was a major factor in its continued success over the years.
Seasoned Martial Artists appreciate the streamlined and highly simplified combat material offered in Wing Chun. It emphasizes defeating an enemy with method rather than strength, adopting a skillful method that suited a particular occasion and opponent, so that you can defeat them with skill and wit. Wing Chun uses efficient chi breathing, versatile hand techniques, flexible stances, and footwork that are free and fast moving.
