Wing Chun Kung Fu is a close quarter Chinese fighting system first seen
demonstrated in the West by movie star legend Bruce Lee. It was brought from
China to Hong Kong in 1949 by Bruce Lee’s teacher, Grandmaster Ip Man (aka Yip
man). Wing Chun was created by Shaolin nun, Ng Mui, in the 17th century and
named after her first student, Yim Wing Chun. It has been passed on and
developed by successive masters to become what it is today, a unique fighting
system. It is characterised by using the most direct lines for attack and
defence and combines explosive punches, elbows, palms, chops and mid to low
section kicks. What is Kamon Wing Chun? Kamon Wing Chun was founded by Master
