Traditional Ip Man Wing Chun

Wing Chun Kung Fu was rumored to have been created by the Ng Mui, one of the five legendary elders of Shaolin Temple, for the girl Yim Wing Chun. The original concept of Wing Chun is to help smaller people defend themselves against bigger, stronger opponents. It may seem difficult to believe, or understand, but through Wing Chun a student can explore their sensitivity, accuracy, skill and power to overcome their opponents.
