All About Wing Chun
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a very interesting martial art not only in its approach to fighting but in its modern social complexities. It is one of the youngest and strangely one of the most splintered Chinese kung fu styles, having been denied the centuries of temple scrutiny and solidification that most of the other Shoalin styles enjoyed. It takes very little research to find numerous versions of the system being taught throughout the world from the very classical to the "Jeet Kune Do" type of system and everything in between. The number of "Grand Masters" also points to the diversity of lineages and system versions. Even with this large diversity in the system its effectiveness as a self defense art is clear. The techniques and ideas taught in the system are sought after by both classical and non-classical stylists. Its raw and aggressive approach to fighting make it an excellent street art. Its emphasis on speed,sensitivity and simplicity rather then strength and complexity make it effective for all body types and genders. It truly is the martial art for the modern society.
