Wing Chun Kung fu , origin & history |
 |
Since the traitor Malinger had taught the traditional Shaolin movements to the Manchu
army, the senior resident monks (including 5 ancestors) joined together, discussed
the situation and decided that a new technique should be developed to fight against
Manchu government. They planned to form a fighting system that should be simple,
practical and can be learned within a short period so that the revolutionists can
learn it within a short period and fight effectively against Manchus. With this
aim, the masters contributed all the good and practical techniques from their personal
styles and a new fighting system was developed and a plan was prepared to teach
the new system to revolutionists to fight against the Manchu government. But unfortunately
that plan did not come into effect. Because that time Manchu government attacked
the Shaolin temple and killed the resident monks. Only five monks escaped and they
got scattered and lived in different places. Four monks and the only nun Ng Mui
escaped and found shelter in different places. Ng Mui found shelter in White Crane
Mountains in a place called Green Temple . Ng Mui was a senior nun in the Shaolin
temple and a member who formed the new fighting system to fight against Manchu government.
During the stay in White Crane Mountains , she saw a fight between a snake and a
crane. She closely watched the fighting and learned the principles behind the fighting
(she did not imitate the movements of snake and crane). Ng Mui incorporated these
principles with the previously formed revolutionary kungfu system. In the valley
of the White Crane Mountains, Ng Mui met a young girl named Yim Wing Chun to whom
she taught the new fighting system and named it Wing Chun boxing. The system was
passed down through Leung Bok Chau; Leung Bok Chau taught the system to Wong Wa
Bo who was an actor in the Red Boat Opera Team. Some say he learned from Leung Lan
Kwai. Wong Wa Bo made the acquaintance of Leung Ye Tai who also worked in the Red
boat. He pushed the boat through the waterways and helped to navigate the boat with
the use of long thin wooden pole. Leung Ye Tai supposedly had learned the pole technique
from Gee Shin, one of the five monks who survived the burning of Shaolin temple.
Gee Shin did not know Wing Chun, but he was an expert in pole technique. Gee Shin
passed his six and half pole technique to Leung Ye Tai. Wong Wa Bo and Leung Ye
Tai were friends and they exchanged techniques. Wong Wa Bo taught Wing Chun to Leung
Ye Tai and Leung Ye Tai taught pole technique to Wong Wa Bo and hence pole technique
was added to Wing Chun with principles of centre line and economy of motion etc.
Leung Ye Tai taught the Wing Chun system to Dr. Leung Jan of Fatsan China . Leung
Jan was a pharmacist. Leung Jan was an accomplished Wing Chun fighter and brought
public attention to the art of Wing Chun. Leung Jan taught Wing Chun to his two
sons Leung Chun and Leung Bike. Leung Jan also taught Wing Chun to Chan Wa Shun,
a street vendor and money changer. As money changer Chan Wa Shun had many opportunities
to use his Wing Chun skills on the street of Fatsan. Chan Wa Shun had 16 disciples.
Ip Man was the last disciple. Ip Man started Wing Chun at the age of 13. Ip Man
studied Wing Chun until the death of Chan Wa Shun. Ip Man was a police officer in
Fatsan of China and he did not publicly teach Wing Chun. But he did teach Wing Chun
to his two sons Ip Chun and Ip Ching. During World War II, Japan invaded china and
plundered Ip family estate. In 1949 Ip Man moved to Hong Kong and began to teach
Wing Chun for a living. In 1968 Ip Man founded the Hong Kong Wing Chun Athletic
Association, which still exists today. Ip man declared July 4 th as universal anniversary
day of Wing Chun for remembering Wing Chun history. Ip Man retired from active teaching
in approximately 1970. Ip Man--the legend of Wing Chun kungfu--died of cancer on
1st of December 1972. Ip Ching the second son of Ip Man became an accomplished Wing
Chun Grand Master in the world today. Ip Ching taught Wing Chun system to Sam Hing
Fai Chan a native of Hong Kong, China . Sam Hing Fai Chan taught Wing Chun to Dr.
K.P.Nataraj in India , and hence Ip Man family Wing Chun came to India .
K.P.Nataraj is a dedicated Wing Chun master in India and teaches Traditional Ip
Man system of Wing Chun. SiFu:K.P.Nataraj is the student of Grand Master: Sam Hing
Fai Chan (Hong Kong). He also trained with SiFu: Donald Grose. |
