Since Wing Chun is a Shaolin-derived system, what animal styles does Wing Chun base its techniques on?
The Wing Chun system had incorporated many techniques from the Shaolin Temple’s Snake and Crane animal systems. The snake is known for its quick, springing motion and the crane is known for its wings’ whipping power. While Wing Chun does not resemble actual animal movements like those performed in Kung-Fu movies, it draws from the principles of the Shaolin snake and crane animal forms.
