Ving
Tsun (“Wing Chun”) Kung Fu is a martial art developed at China’s southern Shaolin Temple. It emphasizes
close quarters combat, the application of sound principles, and the development of attributes and skills as opposed to specific
techniques. The legend of Ving Tsun states that it was founded roughly 400 years ago by a female Shaolin monk named Ng Mui
after she observed a snake and a crane engaged in combat. She first taught this new system to a young girl named Yim Ving
Tsun, and so named the system after her. Ving Tsun does not require more than average strength and can be practiced well into
one’s later years. It develops relaxation, coordination, balance, timing, and sensitivity. With Ving Tsun training we
realize that skilled technique based on sound principles can conquer brute strength. In modern
times Ving Tsun was made famous by Grand Master Ip Man and his most famous student the late Bruce Lee. Master Lee later went
on to develop his own style called Jeet Kune Do; which was heavily influenced by Ving Tsun.
In application Ving Tsun is very aggressive utilizing
continuous hand strikes and low kicks. The Ving Tsun practitioner utilizes tactile sensitivity to read his opponents
energy and quickly respond to any threat in the most efficient manner possible. The ability to do this is developed through
an exercise called Chi-Sao, which is unique to Ving Tsun and is the core of Ving Tsun training.
