One of the top five fighters at the time, Ng Mui aimed to design a more effective fighting method that did not rely on brute strength to be effective. Wing Chun style is especially known for straight fight in which the opponent can be defeated while standing in his place. Legend has it that the inspiration came after watching a fight between a stork and a large rodent, where the stork was able to fend off the rodent’s attacks by using its wings and legs to simultaneously attack and defend. He named his new style Wing Chun (which translates as ‘Eternal Spring’) after one of his top students, Yim Wing Chun.
