Legend of Wing Chun

At a time when China's territory was ruled by family clans, the cleverest, or perhaps the most powerful, or the most powerful and resolute member, stood at their head. These local rulers were able to decide from their position, among others, who and when they would take.

At this time a charming girl named Yim Wing Chun lived and she was "offered" to marry a head of a certain family clan. Coincidentally, Yim Wing Chun knew Ng Mui, a nun from the Shaolin Monastery, who was working on a new style of wu-shu (kung-fu) at the time. Ng Mui offered Yim Wing Chun solution. If she combines her own motivation with Ng Mui knowledge of martial arts, she can propose a friendly match to her suitor, and if she wins, she won't have to marry him.

Of course, the man laughed at the proposal, but since he was privileged in good manners, he agreed to postpone the marriage. Yim began intensive annual training with Ng Mui. After a year, to the surprise of all, Yim Wing Chun defeated her “suitor” in the match.

Ng Mui named her new style Wing Chun, in her honor (translated: Everlasting Springtime)

This legend can serve as an example and an inspiration that if a strong motivation of a pupil is combined with a first-class teacher knowledge, great things can be achieved.
