Welcome!

Wing Chun, (also known as Ving Tsun or Wing Tsun) kung fu is a traditional style of southern Chinese martial art. It is widely known as the style Bruce Lee studied before shooting to Hollywood fame. Wing Chun is a subtle and complete system of Chinese Kung Fu, developed over hundreds of years as an effective fighting method. According to legend Wing Chun was initially devised by Ng Moi, a Buddhist nun. 

"Improve self confidence, assertiveness and self esteem"

When the legendary Grandmaster Yip Man arrived in Hong Kong, the style was taught to Wong Shun Leung, who in turn developed his own interpretation of the style based around his experience of Beimo or challenge fighting. Wong was a peerless and intelligent fighter. Throughout his many Hong Kong challenge fights, in which he fought experts and champions from many different martial arts styles, he remained undefeated. Wong named his style of Wing Chun, 'Ving Tsun Kuen Hok (Scientific Wing Chun)'. It was forged in the fire of battle to be simple direct and efficient. Wong was also known as Bruce Lee's mentor and main coach and he continued to exchange ideas with him up until Bruce's death.

"Suitable for any age and fitness level"

Wing Chun does not pit strength against strength but employs angles and sensitivity in order to over come aggression. A small or physically weaker victim who is skilled in Ving Tsun, can overcome an attack from a much stronger assailant. This also makes Wing Chun ideal for Women's Self Defence. It is  suitable for any age, and fitness level. The training focus is on the reality of fighting, as opposed to competition.

"Exercises are scientific in approach."
 

The effectiveness of Alan Gibson's teaching is endorsed to the highest levels, both in Hong Kong and the UK. Alan has been teaching Kung Fu and Women's Self Defence for many years he has had three books (Why Wing Chun Works, Simple Thinking: Intelligent Fighters and The Wing Chun Forms: Combat Textbooks) as well as several DVDs on Wing Chun published.

With Ving Tsun you can feel the difference...
