What is Wing Chun

September 14, 2009 | Archive

Simply put WCKF is a southern Chinese martial art that uses powerful striking, reflex training drills and strong body structure as the foundation on which to build a proponents combat skills. There are many books and websites where you can read about the history and development of the system so I won’t even start to attempt it here. The modern founder of the system was Yip Man and the man who brought it to the worlds attention, a direct student of Yip Man; Bruce Lee (Yip Man & Bruce Lee pictured right). Whats more important is that if trained properly it is an excellent style for a male or female proponent alike and is certainly a good striking system for use in street self defence or in Nhb style competition. There are several distinct styles of Wing Chun and since the death of Yip man in 1972 there have been further changes in style of how the system is both taught and practised.  Cyclone Wing Chun are very proud to be part of the Chu Sau Lei System headed by Robert Chu Sifu in Los Angeles, USA.
