Did you know that the earliest known mentions of Wing Chun date to the period of Red Boat Opera, a Cantonese travelling opera group who toured southern China on red junks (boats) in the late 1800s and early 1900s? They were instrumental in forming and leading a popular uprising against the government of the Qing Dynasty, using a very early version of what is today known as Wing Chun.

Did you know that although the term “martial art” has become heavily associated with Asian culture, the first use of the term was actually used regarding the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s? An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, and means "arts of Mars," where Mars is the Roman god of war.

Dragon Family Wing Chun


What is Dragon Family Wing Chun and what are the differences between what we do and other methods of martial arts or Wing Chun?



Dragon Family Wing Chun does not over emphasize historical preservation, ancestor worship or dead patterns of movement. Our approach is always based on logical application rather than cultural traditions.



On the other hand, we also do not simply innovate for innovation’s sake. When we find limitations in our ability to apply, we don’t look to add techniques from other martial arts. Instead, we look at what we are doing improperly based on the principles of the art.



In the end, we believe high level Wing Chun comes from years of highly concentrated training and an adherence to these Wing Chun principles.

Did you know that despite what most people today think, Yip Man only substantially taught a few people - Leung Sheung, Lok Yiu, Chu Shong Tin and Wong Shun Leung? Others did not have anywhere as much direct, hands-on time with Yip Man. These four were largely responsible for instructing the other students. Through the mid-50s, most instruction was given by Leung Sheung and Lok Yiu. After they opened their own schools, Chu Shong Tin and Wong Shun Leung gave most of the instruction.
