How is Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) different from other types of Kung Fu?
Wing Chun is a relatively modern style of Kung Fu (only 400 years old!) that was modified and evolved from Shaolin Kung Fu. While most other styles of kung fu emulate or mimic animal movements and involve a high level of acrobatic skill, Wing Chun was strictly designed as a highly efficient self-defense system based on the bio-mechanics and engineering of the human body. It is a simple, sleek and “no-frills” martial art based on sound logical principles.
