Introduction: 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 the system was named 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.
