WT - Wing Tsun (Chinese: 詠春拳; pinyin: yǒng chūn quan; Cantonese Yale: wihng chēun; literally "spring chant"), also romanised as Ving Tsun or Wing Chun, (and sometimes substituted with the characters 永春 " eternal springtime"[4]); (also known as Snake-Crane style)[citation needed]; is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilising both striking and grappling while specialising in close-range combat.
The alternative characters 永春 "eternal spring" are also associated with some other southern Chinese martial arts, including Weng Chun Kung Fu and White Crane Weng Chun (Yong Chun).
History Edit
Wing Tsun originated in the late Ming Dynasty, in the rule of the last Ming Emperor. Wing Tsun was born in the Weng Chun Dim. According to Yip Man, the former head of the Wing Tsun Clan, it began with Ng Mui Sitai. it is said that in the Southern Shaolin temple Ng Mui, one of the Shaolin Five Elders, created the style after studying the movements of Shequan and Bai He Quan. After combining the two, Ng Mui developed a new, unnamed form of fighting based on three simplistic martial science principles. After the Qing proceeded to slaughter the South Shaolin Temple, Ng Mui fled to Foshan, and met a girl named Yim Wing Chun, being harrassed by the local gang leader. She taught her the unnamed Kung Fu and with it, Wing Chun defeated the gang leader. Eventually she would marry Leung Bak Chou, and he would learn the art and name it "Wing Chun" in his wife's honor.
