WING CHUN (詠春) is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilizing both striking and grappling while specializing in close-range combat. Wing Chun is a rather young martial art originating in southern China approximately 300 years ago.

Wing Chun was created by the Buddhist nun Ng Mui, a master of Shaolin Kung Fu. Using her martial arts training and experience, she created a compact form of Kung Fu to exploit weaknesses found in the other combat styles of her time that gives an advantage to smaller fighters like herself. This new martial arts system was well-guarded and passed on to only a few, very dedicated students. Her style became known as Wing Chun, after Ng Mui's first student, a woman named Yim Wing Chun.

Wing Chun began to spread throughout southern China, evolving as it was adopted into various groups. It gained popularity when Grandmaster Ip Man began to teach openly in China and Hong Kong. His students continued the evolution, and spread Wing Chun all around the world.
