Kung Fu is a mix of martial art systems, born in China. His meaning is "hard work". Wing Chun is one of Kung Fu style. This chinese martial art is included in T.B.W. as one of the two martial arts as self defense programme (the other is the korean martial art Hapkido).

Wing Chun, together with Hung Gar and Choi Lei Fut, are named "The Three Great Martial Art Schools of the South" because of their origin and popularity in Southern China. Wing Chun, literally "forever spring" is a chinese martial art specialized in aggressive close-range fighting.

The legend said the nun Ng Mui after escaping from the Shaoiln temple taught to a woman Yim Wing Chun her method of self defence, modified by Shaoiln tecniques she studied. After that period of training Yim Wing Chun further modified the primitive new self defence system and showed it to her husband who was surprised to be beaten by his wife. From now on the system was called Wing Chun.

One of the fathers of this system (continuing on evolving in time) was GM Yip Man (photo at the right) who had many famous students as Leung Sheung, Lok Yiu, Wong Shun Leung, Tsui Sheung Ting, Moy Yat, Lo Man Kam, Ho Kam Ming, Leung Ting and Bruce Lee (photo at the left).

The characters (永春) "forever spring" are also associated with some other southern Chinese martial arts. Forms are meditative, solitary exercises which develop self-awareness, balance, relaxation and sensitivity. Forms also train the practitioner in the fundamental movement and the correct force generation of Wing Chun.
