tailieunhanh - Why Wing Chun Works

"Wing Chun" is a subtle and complete system of Chinese Kung Fu. Developed over hundreds of years, its roots lie in the Shaolin Temple tradition. Legend has it that in 1645 a Buddhist nun by the name of Ng Moi devised the system and taught it to a young girl called Yim Wing Chun, who successfully used her newly learned skills to defend herself against a local bully who attempted to force himself upon her. Originally a very secret system, the sophisticated art of Wing Chun was only passed on to family members and close, trusted friends. It was only when the legendary Grandmaster Yip Man (now sadly passed away) arrived. | Why Wing Chun Works Author Alan Gibson ISBN 0-9534895-0-7 1st Edition 1998 2nd Edition 2000 First published by The Peacenik Press 19 Devonshire Road Polygon Southampton SO15 2GH Why Wing Chun Works Author Alan Gibson ISBN 0-9534895-0-7 1st Edition 1998 2nd Edition 2000 First published by The Peacenik Press 19 Devonshire Road Polygon Southampton SO15 2GH Without Whom Without Whom Simon Hayes who produced the wonderful technical illustrations for this book.
