The history of Wing Chun style also known as (Yong Chun), was developed 400 years ago by Jee Shim and Ng Muy, a female Buddhist nun. Although this story may be fictious what is true that there are various lineages of Wing Chun outside of Ip Man. Wing Chun is the style of street combat that is used in Hong Kong in the early 1950’s. The most recognized authority on Wing Chun in the 20th century was the late
Ip Man of Fashan. Wing Chun consists mostly of hand techniques with emphasis on strikes and parries that are executed at very close range. Although it requires neither a great deal of physical strength, nor an inordinate amount of agility, it is not for the weak at heart. Quick reflexes are indeed vital. In fact, a Wing Chun practitioner must be able to anticipate when a punch or a kick is coming elude it, punch or a kick is coming, elude it deflect it and hit, all in a single motion.
A special form of neuro-muscular training known as Qi Sao is used to bridge the gap in understanding between theory and application. During the course of Qi Sao training students become keenly aware of the role of centered body alignment, Forward energy (Chong Qi), sensitivity based upon touch, and economy OF motion.
