This is the most popular school of Chinese martial arts in modern times, and it has developed rapidly in Europe. Wing Chun began to study and improve the body structure, joint movement and fluid mechanics, and completely departed from the traditional eight-strand Five Elements Bagua and pictogram divine consciousness and other metaphysical illusory, non-scientific and logical approximate philosophical explanations.

With the sensitive feeling of the skin of the bridge of the hand, the inner fist method of exerting the strength of the inch.
Wing Chun Master Wong, the famous martial arts star Bruce Lee, once studied Wing Chun systematically with Grandmaster Ip Man, and it can be said that Jeet Kune Do, founded by Bruce Lee, has an inseparable relationship with Wing Chun. Ip Man's disciples are Zhou Guangyao (Ip Man's son Ye Zhun said that Ip Man originally did not accept apprentices because he was "afraid of trouble"). During the Anti-Japanese War, Ip Man's thinking underwent a great change, so he opened a class for the first time in Zhou Qingquan's yarn factory, and Zhou Qingquan's son Zhou Guangyao naturally became Ip Man's eldest disciple. ), Liang Xiang, Zhang Xuejian, He Jinzhi, Zhao Yun, Lu Wenjin, Huang Chunliang, Wang Qiao, Lun Jia, Liang Ting, Bruce Lee, Xu Shangtian. Now distributed all over the world. Recently, in Nan'an, Fujian, China, there has been a self-contained system based on Wing Chun [Crane Boxing]. [edit this paragraph] Relationship between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do and Crane Boxing Jeet Kune Do is derived from Wing Chun (Wing Chun from Wing Chun White Crane Boxing) Wing Chun White Crane Boxing, Wing Chun, Jeet Kune Do is the foundation of Crane Boxing.
Origin of Wing Chun: According to the records of "Wing Chun White Crane Boxing", White Crane Boxing was created by Fang Qi Niang, the only daughter of Shaolin master Fang Zhong outside the north gate of Funing Prefecture (now Xiapu County) in the Qing Dynasty (1644~1662).
Fang Qi Niang - when weaving cloth in the Bailian (Lotus) Temple, I saw a white crane flying down between the beams, raising its head and flapping its wings, dancing its feet and wings, attracting its beak and hair, making a shape of stretching its neck to forage for food, and then wrapping its arms to rest, the posture is wonderful. Fang Qiniang felt very interesting, that is, she threw it with the shuttle box in her hand, and was dodged by the white crane; He hit it with a latitude ruler again, and was ejected by the white crane with its wings spread. The Russian white crane spreads its wings and soars into the sky. So Qi Niang comprehended, studied non-stop, and combined the various dances of the white crane in the Shaolin boxing method, and after several years of speculation and derivation, to create a unique boxing method.
After Yongchun and other places to learn the number of people to learn the white crane boxing is the largest, Fan Hao is the widest, the greatest influence, so that the white crane boxing in the theory and practice methods have formed a technical system with the characteristics of Yongchun human geography, because these people's origins are in Yongchun, so this boxing is called "Yongchun white crane boxing".
The Wing Chun sect is based on Pak Crane Boxing, and Fong Niang's Pak Crane Boxing was passed down to Wu Mei Shi Tai after three generations, so there is no reason for Yim Wing Chun to live between 1644 and 1662, which is also inconsistent with the rumors of the Ku Lo Wing Chun school.
According to Grandmaster Ip Man's "The Origins of Wing Chun", Wu Mei Shi Tai is a master of Shaolin White Crane Boxing in Fujian. Since the burning of the Shaolin Temple, the five elders of the Southern Shaolin faction have also gone their separate ways. Zhishan Zen Shuai fled to Guangzhou, and escaped in the red boat as a "clay pot", which led to a story of "exchanging fists for sticks". [edit this paragraph] Wing Chun boxing spectrum: big flash side, small pitch, small flash side, big pitch, judge the situation to keep in mind (the judgment refers to the eye method, it is the premise of defeating the enemy. Judging the situation has two meanings, it is to accumulate momentum for oneself, and it is to take advantage of the momentum for the other party. The second bridge is on the upswing, and the curtain will be contested. Know the movement, know the existence and not, know the advance and retreat. One fist and one palm, one horse and one step, the step should be steady; (There are three stops for blowing, one stop at the shoulder socket, two stop at the elbow crutches, and three stops at the fingertips of the palm roots. The waist and hips move, the bridge does not move, the bridge moves the waist and hips do not move.
Footwork - hook, needle, flick, kick.
Footwork - inch, crutch, teasing, killing, stepping. Several theories about the origin of Wing Chun Ip Man and Bruce Lee master and apprentice photo of Wing Chun, one of the Shaolin martial arts, about the origin of Wing Chun, there are roughly the following theories: (We need to additionally note here that the "Wing Chun", "Wing Chun" and "Wing Chun" listed below and in this column are all different names for the same boxing school.)
In order not to misunderstand readers, this article uniformly uses "Yong".
The first theory is that it was founded in Yongchun County, Fujian, and was transformed into the white crane boxing created by Yan Sanniang in the county, and this place is called the name of the boxing. Hence the name "Yongchun Boxing". There are also those who use Yim's name Wing Chun and call it "Swimming Chun Boxing". This boxing spread to Guangzhou and was called Wing Chun.
The second theory is that Wing Chun was founded by Wu Mei Shi Tai, and it was Wu Mei and not Yim Wing Chun who realized when he saw snakes and cranes fighting. Wumei Shitai was a disciple of the Shaolin faction in the early Qing Dynasty, and it is said that she is still a master of Shaolin White Crane Boxing. Because the southern Shaolin of Fujian was burned by the Qing government, in order to avoid disaster, she lived in seclusion in Daliang Mountain on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan, and created Wing Chun because she saw snakes and cranes fighting, which was later spread to Yan Wing Chun.
The third theory is that after the five Wing Chun were created, they were not directly passed on to Yim Wing Chun, but to the Shaolin disciple Miao Shun, who passed on the Shaolin lay disciple Yan Er, and Yan Er then passed on the female Wing Chun and her son-in-law Leung Fu Yan. This Yan Er is the Yan Fourth mentioned earlier.
The fourth theory is: the creation of Wing Chun has nothing to do with the five Shi Tai or Yan Yongquan, and there is no snake and crane competition, and the predecessor of Wing Chun should be Wing Chun, which is a kind of martial art of struggle against the anti-Qing organization "Heaven and Earth Society" in the early Qing Dynasty, and was created by the master of Yichen Nunnery, a disciple of Shaolin in Songshan, Henan. He (or "she") first passed on to Zhang Wu (known as Tan Shou Wu, who is said to have the reputation of "a stall hand alone in martial arts") of the Ting Kun Opera Troupe, and Zhang Wu later came to Guangdong and settled in the "Qionghua Hall" in Dajiwei, Foshan Town, Nanhai County, and passed Wing Chun to the disciples of the Cantonese opera world. During the later Xianfeng period, Li Wenmao rebelled, and the disciples changed the word "swimming" in "Wing Chun" to "Yong" and "Yong" in order to avoid disaster. Huang Baohua, Liang Erdi, Dahua Mianjin and others in the red boat learned this boxing, and then passed it to Ryazan, who opened a Chinese medicine store and practiced medicine on Chopsticks Road in Foshan, and then Ryazan carried forward Wing Chun.
The fifth theory is that Wing Chun should be Yongchun Boxing, named after the Yongchun Hall of Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, Fujian, which is the southern school of the inner boxing method practiced by those who entered the hall that year, the full name is Shaolin Yongchun, and the chief teacher is the best Zen master of Shaolin disciples. Nan Shaolin was greedy and escaped to Foshan, and once hid in the Cantonese opera red boat as a gangman. Later, because of the unevenness in Dongguan and the exposure of his hiding, the people in the troupe worshipped him as a teacher. Among the disciples is Su Sanniang, a native of Huizhou, who is a flower in the opera troupe, and her learning is particularly fine, and she is known as "Yongchun Sanniang". Hou Sanniang passed on the martial arts to Huang Huabao, Liang Erdi and others in the red boat, and Huang and Liang passed on Foshan Ryazan, so that Yongchun boxing could be carried forward in Foshan.
The sixth (most correct) theory is that Wing Chun originated from the crane boxing of the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou, Fujian Province (in the present-day Kamatan and formerly part of the Quanzhou Prefecture). Crane boxing is one of the martial arts of Southern Shaolin. Yan Sanniang's father is the first son of a Southern Shaolin layman. Yan Sanniang learned from her father and got a true biography of Southern Shaolin Crane Boxing. Later, Yan Sanniang married Guangdong and taught boxing locally. Because Sanniang is from Yongchun County, Fujian, he is called Yan Yongchun and his fist is Yongchun Boxing. Wing Chun and Wing Chun are actually caused by the confusion between Hokkien and Cantonese and the writing error. Wing Chun and the crane boxing, which is now widely spread in Fujian, are the same case, and you can see it at a glance. Of course, Wing Chun has also been enriched and modified by various generations of boxers. Crane boxing in the South Shaolin Temple is not created by one person, but through the enrichment and improvement of various generations of Shaolin Temple monks.
One of the most detailed sayings collected on this site is: Wing Chun, one of the martial arts skills of Shaolin, the word Wing Chun is to commemorate the founder of Wing Chun, Yim Wing Chun. Patriarch Yim Wing Chun was originally from Fujian, Guangdong, and his father, Yim Ergong, was engaged in tofu trading at the foot of Jiulian Mountain. Wing Chun, on the other hand, has been trained by the Five Pieces Master since childhood. Later, he realized the way of boxing because he saw snakes and cranes fighting, and was corrected by his master Wumei Master, so his martial arts were successful. The Wing Chun master also asked the five masters to name the boxing, and the master replied that since you are named Wing Chun, you will name Wing Chun this boxing can also be. Thus, the name Wing Chun was officially born.
The patriarch later married Leung Boqiu, and later returned to Guangdong with her husband to pass on his martial arts skills to Boqiu, so that her husband could pass on the Wing Chun tradition. This is the second pass of Wing Chun, which was in the early years of Jiaqing. Bo Qiu was friendly with the people in the Red Boat, and often had drinking skills with his friends Leung Lan Kwai, Wong Wah Po and Leung Er Di, and Bo Qiu even exchanged Wing Chun with Wah Po and others for the Red Boat Famous Skill Six and a Half Sticks. Later, he and Hua Bao and others drifted with the red boat, during which they studied day and night, practiced hard, and in less than two years, they had exhausted their secrets. Leung Lan Kwai, Wong Wah Po and Leung Er Di can be called the third pass of the Wing Chun school. Shaolin six-and-a-half stick is the beginning of compulsory weapons for those who practice Wing Chun.
Hua Bao retired after the age of 60 and lived in Qingyun Street, Kuaizi City, Foshan. There is a famous doctor in Kuaizi City, Liang Zan practices medicine in Xingjitang, which is quite famous, and the people of Foshan call him Mr. Zan. And Hua Bao and Mr. Zan are friendly, and after retirement, they have a long time, so they go to Xing Chai Tong to drink with Mr. Zan, and pass on the Wing Chun boxing skills to Mr. Zan, when it was the time of Xun Qing Daoguang.
Ryazan, originally from Gulao, Shanxian County, only lives in Foshan. Mr. Zan has excellent medical skills and runs a herbal medicine shop, Xing Ji Tang, on Qingyun Street, Kuaizi City. He traveled extensively, so he was very popular. Mr. Tan is good at martial arts and has a wide range of skills, but he has not satisfied him, since he studied Wing Chun with Wah Po, he has felt that Wing Chun is the best method in terms of strength, body shape and technique; With his talent and painstaking research, Wing Chun was able to become famous in the Lingnan area during the late Qing Dynasty. However, Mr Tsan was unable to teach the public because of his busy business duties, so he did not make Wing Chun flourish. But those who can get his true inheritance, except for his two sons Liang Chun and Liang Bi, only Chen Huashun is the only one.
