<h1>History Of Wing Chun</h1> <p>Approximately 250 years ago, our fighting system, Wing Chun , was developed from the Kung Fu of the Shaolin Monks. Nonne Ng Mui (who had previously trained in Crane Kung Fu) observed a fight between a fox and a crane, which inspired her to create her own style that was at the time nameless and unfamiliar.</p> <p>Wing Chun got its name from Yim Wing Chun, a girl, who studied under its founder Nonne Ng Mui.<br> A doctor, Leung Lan Kwai, learnt from Leung Bok Chao (Yim Wing Chun’s husband). He then taught the actor Wong Wah Bo. </p> <p>A trade was made when a long-stick fighter, Leung Yee Tai offered Wong Wah Bo an exchange. As a result, of this exchange, the six-and-a-half pole fighting techniques were brought into the Wing Chun system. </p> <p>Leung Jan, a doctor, learnt Wing Chun from Leung Yee Tai, the long-stick fighter. Leung Tsun and Leung Bik, the doctor’s sons, as well as Wah the logger and Wah the money-exchanger (known as Chan Wah Chun) were his students. </p> <p>Chan Wah Chun had sixteen students. He almost had no successor had it not been for Yip Man—his last student—who preserved the Wing Chun system, preventing it from dying out. </p> <p>Yip Man instructed students such as Wong Shun Leung, Bruce Lee, Hawkins Cheung, and Duncan Leung, </p> <p>Gary Lam (Lam Man Hog) trained exclusively with the world renown Wong Shun Leung for 15 years and was Sigung Wong's head coach in Hong Kong for 6 years.</p> <p>Werner Leuschner and Ulrich Stauner are private students of grandmaster Sifu Gary Lam.
