Wing Chun is a traditional Chinese martial art system. Although its origins are shrouded in myth and legend, our oral tradition tells us that a a Buddhist nun named Ng Mui developed the Wing Chun system sometime during the Ching Dynasty before the American Revolution.
She is said to have taught it to an orphan girl whom she named Wing Chun, a name that represented "hope for the future". Wing Chun in turn passed her knowledge on to her husband. Through the years the style became known as Wing Chun. Its techniques and teachings were passed on to a few always carefully selected students.
The earliest known historical figures who practiced Wing Chun were members of a Red Junk Opera Company who toured by boat performing Chinese Opera. They introduced Wing Chun to a town in southern China, called Fat San, where it was eventually taught to the legendary Sifu Yip Man.
It was he that was destined to teach Wing Chun publicly for the first time. He lead the Wing Chun system from 1949 until his death in 1972. Today, Wing Chun is practiced internationally and has become one of the most popular styles of martial arts in the world.
