About WingTsun

WingTsun is the name of a Kung-Fu system devised by a woman in China over 250 ago and made famous by Bruce Lee who studied it from the age of 13. It distinguishes itself from most other martial arts by focusing entirely on self-defence rather than fitness, sport, spiritual discipline, and as such the emphasis is on defending oneself as quickly and efficiently as possible. >> READ MORE

History of WingTsun

Tradition has it that WingTsun which translates as “Beautiful Springtime” was founded over 250 years ago in southern China by the Buddhist nun Ng Mui who needed to devise a system to overcome the “hard” techniques of Shaolin Kung-Fu. Her first student was a young girl called Yim WingTsun after whom this system is named. WingTsun was originally taught secretly to small groups until the late Great Grandmaster Yip Man arrived in Hong Kong and popularised it. One of his students was the actor and martial artist Bruce Lee who began his WingTsun training at the age of 13. >> READ MORE
