Ip Man Wing Chun Family Tree

Wing Chun is a very unique and scientific form of martial arts. Ip Man Wing Chun's specialty is in close contact combat, using quick punches with a tight defence, coordinated through agile stances for a quick advance. The effectiveness of Wing Chun is achieved by well coordinated attacks with simultaneous defence and vise versa, yet delivering the correct amount of energy, whilst maintaining flexible and relaxed.

Wing Chun is sometimes referred to as Ving Tsun, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Wing Chun Boxing, or even Wing Chun Kuen (fighting) amongst some other names.

Unique to Wing Chun is "Chi Sau", a form of training to help develop and put into practice your techniques and theories you learn during your training. Chi Sau teaches and help you to develop, responsive reflex, position, how to overcome your opponents strength, correct usage of energy and taking advantage of the shortest possible distance between you and your opponent.

The principles. theories and techniques of Wing Chun are founded on the three hand form and the wooden dummy techniques. Training begins with "Sil Lim Tau" (little idea), "Chum Kiu" (bridge seeking arm), "Biu Gee" (thrusting fingers). Then the serious of students will learn "Muk Yan Ghong" (wooden dummy), "Luk Dim Boom Gaun" (six & a half point pole) and finally "Bart Cham Dao" (eight cutting double knives).

It was Ip Mans dream to spread Wing Chun around the world, and through tuition by his sons, Samuel Kwok has played his part over the last twenty five years, bringing Wing Chun to the forefront of Martial arts practice today. There are many Wing Chun schools up and down the United Kingdom, as well as across Europe, in Denmark, Germany, South Africa, Australia and the United States to name a few. Many of the Sifu's at these schools owe a great deal of their understanding of the art to the influence of Samuel Kwok, teaching traditional Ip Man Wing Chun.
