Lin Wing Chun Kung Fu


Wing Chun Kung Fu is a martial art with roots in 17th-century China. As the legend goes, Ng Mui, a Shaolin nun, sought to create an efficient system for self-defense against stronger opponents. Drawing inspiration from observing a fight between a crane and a snake, she developed a style centered on simplicity, directness, economy of motion and attack as defence. According to legend, Ng Mui passed this system on to Yim Wing Chun, a young woman who used it to defend herself from a warlord, giving the art its name, which means "Eternally Springtime."

What makes Wing Chun and other Chinese arts truly unique is the focus on dismantling an opponent’s structure. By maintaining contact, crowding, jamming, unbalancing, etc, we aim to disrupt the opponent’s ability to attack. This principle, often overlooked in modern martial arts makes it possible to neutralize larger opponents, the key to true martial ar .

Beyond its legendary origins, the Wing Chun we teach is practical and adaptable. Many schools will be missing vital elements of the art, often not knowing how to do what they teach. We offer the original core art refined for real-world self-defense, while remaining consistent with how Ip Man taught the art. What remains emphasizes timeless combative concepts of the art: economy, compound attacks, all while breaking down the opponent’s structure. This emphasis blends the elegance of simplicity with realistic intention and brutal effectiveness, making it as relevant today as ever. We prepare students for self-defense, Habitual Acts of Violence (HAVs), for the reality of combat in varied conditions, addressing gaps that many schools overlook in favor of often misunderstood traditions that go nowhere.

Our mission is simple: to teach Wing Chun with teeth and ensure you develop the skills, confidence, and preparedness needed to navigate today’s dangerous world as safely as possible. We invite you to try an intro class and experience the difference for yourself.
