Wing Chun (also known as Wing Tsun, Ving Chun or Ving Tsun) is one of the most popular kinds of Chinese martial arts. Although it is essentially a fighting technique with bare hands, Wing Chun may include weapons as part of their course. The origin of Wing Chun was in China, but the real story of its creation has long been a subject of much debate. The most credible suggestion regarding the origin of Wing Chun dates back to 1700 AD in the Henan Shaolin Monastery.
When the Qing forces raided and ravaged the Southern Shaolin temple, a nun named Ng Mui fled to the distant mountains Daliang, the only survivor. Ng Mui was already aware of Kung Fu at the Shaolin Temple, which is treated with a new form he had learned as a battle between a snake and a crane is observed. She taught this new combat style to her adopted daughter who called Wing Chun Yimm. The new system has been refined and then transmitted from generation to generation, and was eventually named Wing Chun after Yimm.
The modernization of Wing Chun started in Hong Kong in the 1950s under a Grandmaster called Yip Man. The discipline began to gain real popularity in Asia and the West when actor Bruce Lee became one of the most famous practitioners of the Wing Chun.
The concept of Wing Chun:
Wing Chun is based on three fundamental principles - Practicality, efficiency and economy of movement.
1. Convenience: Techniques such as palm (tan sau), Ala Arm (bong sau), Slapping hands (pak sau) are designed to maul the most sensitive and vulnerable parts of the body of the opponent, such as throat, groin, eyes and lower torso. Many Wing Chun movements and techniques are often intended to be fatal.
2. Efficiency: Wing Chun does not use force against force, in order to gain the most effective manipulation of the body's energy. Create in small movements programmed precisely positioned and properly and against attack is based on the very strength of the opponent. This concept is also called Contact Reflexes.
3. economy of movement: It is a linear concept in which movements are based on an imaginary pole up vertically through the center of the body. The center line extending from this line Mother, and as the most vital parts of the body are located along the center line, many offensive and defensive movements are based on this line. The centerline, moreover, is the shortest path between the combatants, where most combat trade takes place.
