Wing Chun Kung fu is said to have been created over 400 years ago by a nun from the Shaolin Temple named, Ng Mui. Her first student was a young girl named, Yim Wing Chun and it is after her that the style takes it name. The story goes that a local bandit was forcing himself on Yim Wing Chun. Seeing what was going on, Ng Mui took pity on the young girl and decided to teach her Kung Fu. After training very hard, Yim Wing Chun challenged the bandit to a fight which she convincingly won.
Wing Chun is one of the most popular and effective forms of Kung Fu. This popularity is due to the teaching of late Great Grandmaster Ip Man who bought the skill from China to Hong Kong and from there it has spread all over the world. Great Grandmaster Ip Man's most famous student was the legendary Bruce Lee. Since Great Grandmaster Ip Man passed away his eldest son Grandmaster Ip Chun has taken over his father role. He has spent many years teaching all over the world. Even though he is now 85 year old his skill is unsurpassed.
Jens Thinesen has been studying Wing Chun for many years. He attended a seminar with Grandmaster Ip Chun and this experience made him re asses all that he had learnt. He then decided to seek out Master Tse's teachings and this lead him to Sifu Martin Gale, who is a senior student of Master Tse. Since that time he has not looked back and is truly happy to be able to improve his own skill and also pass it on to a new generation. |
