What are the Origins and Legend of Wing Chun?
Wing Chun is an old martial art and it came from Kung Fu in China. The legend wants that Wing Chun was created by a woman as a defensive art, but because of its power it was practised also by men. Wing Chun is different from Kung Fu , because it uses the power of the enemy to defend and attack. After I saw a Chinese film called Yip Man, I fell in love with wing chun and all the culture which surrounds Kung Fu because it is a culture of peace, serenity and equilibrium. Yip Man is the principal exponent of Wing Chun, he was born in Foshan , a small town in China and during the second world war he became famous for challenging some Japanese soldiers who were Karate fighters, and he succeeded very well as he was a very strong and fast talented fighter. But unfortunately due to the fact that he became a hero, his life became seriously in danger , so he had to escaped to Hong Kong where he met and taught Wing Chun to Bruce Lee : one of the most famous Chinese martial arts actor of all times .
Benefits and Discipline of Wing Chun
Wing Chun exercises help to balance the vital functions and they strengthen the immune system. Also, Wing Chun imposes a big discipline and respect towards the other pupils and the Sifu (Master). For these reasons I prefer Wing Chun to Karate and other more popular martial arts.
Inner Journey of Wing Chun
Another feature about Wing Chun is that It hasn't got grades like in Karate, but it has a path with different techniques and in particular it is more an interior path. But it takes a lot of hard work, discipline and so many years to reach this interior equilibrium
