Wing Chun

History of Wing Chun

Wing Chun has many variations of its legendary beginnings. Of all the variations the following facts remain constant:

Yim Wing Chun, an extraordinary female Martial Artist, developed the foundation of this system which continues to exist in the discipline we know and practice today. Wing Chun remains a relatively simple system built on the scientific and mathematical principles of motion and lines. These principles further enhance the effectiveness of the art of Wing Chun when combined with the natural motion of the human body.

Two Core Theories:
► Centerline
► Straight-Line theory

Three Key Principles:
► Efficiency of Time
► Energy
► Movement

When combining these simple to understand theories and principals with idioms developed to aid in practice, Wing Chun becomes one of the most efficient martial arts in the world. Grandmaster Yip Man brought the most popular form of Wing Chun to Hong Kong and from there it quickly spread to different parts of the world. As former Master to Bruce Lee, Grandmaster Yip Man has left behind a legacy of accomplished Martial Artists which continue to support and develop the practice of Wing Chun internationally.
