Practical Wing Chun
There are different lineages of Wing Chun depending on the interpretation of the system. We follow Grandmaster WAN Kam Leung's Practical Wing Chun system. Practical Wing Chun (實用詠春拳) is a system developed and refined by Grandmaster WAN Kam Leung based on the traditional Wing Chun he studied under Grandmaster WONG Shun Leung, a top student of Grandmaster IP Man for many years, known for engaging in many fights on Hong Kong rooftops in order to scrutinize and improve on his martial art. Grandmaster WAN felt this same need to improve on a system whose forms were invented hundreds of years ago and passed along mostly through word of mouth. He felt that some traditional techniques may have become obsolete, and some training methods may have become outdated. Moreover, modern understanding of the human body and physics can also differ from concepts developed several hundred years ago. He meticulously tested and modified an already efficient system to adapt it for practical modern self defense.
