More than two hundred and fifty years ago, during the latter years of the Ching Dynasty, soldiers of the Manchu Government lay siege upon the Siu Lam Monastery at Mt. Sung. The Elders escaped the destruction of the monastery and went into hiding in various parts of China. One of these Elders, the Buddhist Mistress
Ng Mui, settled at the White Crane Temple. It was here that she developed a revolutionary new martial arts system designed to defeat larger, stronger masters of other styles. She would soon teach this system to Miss
Yim Wing Tsun, for whom the art was eventually named.
Since then WingTsun™ has been handed down for generations as a “closed door” (secret) system. However, thanks to the late Grandmaster Yip Man, the door has been opened and the system is now taught openly. After years of studying to perfect his techniques and researching to develop a systematic way of teaching, Grandmaster Leung Ting, the last direct disciple of Yip Man, has brought this revolutionary Martial Arts style to sixty-four countries around the world, making it one of the most widely practiced styles of Chinese martial arts.
