What is Wing Chun Kung Fu?
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a Chinese Martial Art from Canton Province, China. By legend, it was created by a woman to defeat physically stronger and faster opponents. As Bruce Lee's original martial style, it is now one of the most popular forms of Chinese Kung Fu practiced today. Based on simplicity, efficiency and directness, Wing Chun's basics are easy to learn and apply. |
