Wing Chun

Buddhist Shaolin Wing Chun Wing Chun is one of the youngest and most contemporary styles of Kung Fu, having been continuously refined and adapted over the hundreds of years of its existence. It is considered one of the three great martial arts styles of Southern China. It was founded by Buddhist nun Ng Mui of the famous Shaolin Temple during the Qing dynasty. 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. Wing Chun differed greatly from other kung fu styles of the time in its theory, structure of its movements, and generation of physical force. It is not based on copying. (such as directly imitating the movements of animals) Rather, Wooden Dummy Physical Condition Strength is based on natural, scientific laws, avoiding unnecessary movements in order to overpower one’s opponent in the most efficient manner and generate force. This art has a different popularity among today’s young generation. The masters of Buddhist Kung Fu Federation flow this traditional stream into the modern era, train today’s youth and move forward from it.
