The History of Wing Chun Kung Fu
The History of Wing Chun can be
traced back to the Ching dynasty,
over 275 years ago. The Manchus,
who made up about 10% of the
population, ruled the Hans and
created many restrictions to keep
them dependent on the small ruling
class. Through the years, however,
the Manchus gradually began to
accept the Han culture and to respect
the Sil Lum (Shaolin) Temple as a
place of worship and sanctuary. Even
so, to repress the Hans, the Manchus
banned all weapons and martial arts
training. Secretly the Hans began
organizing rebel groups within the Sil
Lum Temple.

Because the classical animal styles of kung fu took 15 to 20 years to master, it

was necessary to develop a new style that would enable students to become
proficient fighters in a much shorter time span. As the Manchu soldiers were
often trained in classical kung fu styles, it was important that this new style be
designed to be effective in neutralizing the existing techniques. Five kung fu
masters pooled the knowledge of their own respective styles in order to come up
with a new, more economical style, utilizing only the most effective methods of
combat from each. What these five kung fu masters developed would create an
efficient martial artist in only 3 to 5 years.

Before they could teach anyone the new style, a traitor within the temple opened
the gates for the Manchu soldiers and the temple was burned to the ground.
Only one master, a Sil Lum nun named Ng Mui, escaped. She later passed her
knowledge on to a young orphan girl, who she named Yim Wing Chun (Beautiful
Springtime) and who shared this knowledge with her husband, Leung Bok Cho.
Through the years, the style became known as Wing Chun kung fu.
 WHO IS IP MAN
‘Founded by Yim Wing-chun; took root in the hands of Leung Chun;
blossomed under Ip Man…’

Ip Man is adapted from the life story of Ip Man, the grand master of the Wing
Chun style of kung fu and sifu (master) of legendary kung fu superstar Bruce
Lee. Wing Chun has a history of more than 200 years. It was founded by Yim
Wing Chun, took root in the hands of Leung Chun, and prospered with Ip Man.
The art of Wing Chun has now become very popular with martial arts
enthusiasts, especially overseas. It is a traditional Chinese martial art with a
formidable reputation internationally.
The story of Wing Chun began in the
1920s and 30s, in wartorn China. Ip
Man was martial art’s unyielding
follower, devoted whole-heartedly to
the free learning of wushu. The fight
to be top between the Wushu schools
in the southern and northern regions
of China had not stopped him having
goodwill matches with other
practitioners. Nationalistic bad
feelings and racial hatred had not
lessened his respect for Japanese
kung fu warriors. In this great era of
hatreds and tragedies, Ip focused
only on wushu. His enthusiasm for
martial arts saw him having
devastating straight fights with
various elite practitioners.

To this date there have been neither movies nor publications about Ip Man. This
movie will be the first important record of the master’s life. Ip’s persistent
devotion to Wing Chun is a classic example of the love and respect shown to
wushu and the freedom and spirit it represents. This movie will see the making
of a modern wushu master representative of Chinese people worldwide. Ip Man
is a concept, a spirit, a way of thinking – and it represents a new peak in Hong
Kong’s wushu movies.
