Wing Chun

Founded more than 250 years ago by a Buddhist nun named Ng Mui, wing chun is one of the younger Chinese arts and borrows many punches, finger strikes and low-level kicks from its older siblings. Rather than meeting force with force, wing chun practitioners learn to control and redirect their opponents’ force while overwhelming them with quick strikes.

Wing chun is also one of the world’s most popular southern kung fu styles, thanks to its association with its most famous student: Bruce Lee. Before he revolutionized the martial arts with jeet kune do, Lee trained in Hong Kong for years under wing chun master Yip Man.
