What is Wing Chun?

Wing Chun Kung Fu is a martial art made by a pair of girls. Founded by a Shaolin Nun (Ng Mui) and her student (Yim Wing Chun) after whom the art was named. If you think all martial arts are for tough guys, then you haven't tried Wing Chun. There are plenty of local Wing Chun clubs in Birmingham to choose from, although it's so rarely seen being taught without all the common idiosyncrasies. Who knows who's right or wrong when training with inflexible martial arts drills? But Sticking Hands (Chi Sau) is a very sensitive, open-minded training exercise. There's not much room for blagging when you test a guy by his sticking hands. So when you check out your local Wing Chun Kung Fu club, pay special attention to the teacher's sticky hands.
