Lee Shing originally brought wing chun to Europe in the early 1960s, and taught traditionally close door to the Chinese community until he retired to Canada and leaving behind a plethora of skilled teachers, including such household names as Joseph Cheng, Simon Lau, Austin Goh and others who were less commercial including Sifu Joseph Lee. Sifu shunned the limelight and the social media attention, however, this online tutorial produced on his behalf has met with his encouragement, and in order to provide the wider public with an insight into the Lee Shing Wing Chun lineage. I hope that all of you, who are interested and enrole on this program will gain great knowledge, insight and enjoyment from the 23 sections that give a broad overview of the approach adopted by Sifu Joseph in his teaching of wing chun and kungfu.

  • Wing Chun v Kung Fu

    Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art that emphasizes close-quarters combat, striking, and grappling. It is one of the most popular forms of kung fu in the world, and has been featured in many films and television shows. Wing Chun is different from other forms of kung fu in a number of ways. First, it is a very economical form of fighting, with minimal wasted movement. Second, it emphasizes using the opponent's energy against them, rather than trying to overpower them. Third, it is a very fluid form of fighting, with practitioners constantly moving and adapting to their opponent's movements. The history of Wing Chun is a long and complex one. It is believed to have originated in the 17th century, and was developed by a woman named Ng Mui. Ng Mui was a Buddhist nun who was forced to flee her home after a conflict with the Qing dynasty. She traveled to southern China, where she learned kung fu from a master named Chan Heung. Ng Mui then developed her own style of kung fu, which she called Wing Chun. Wing Chun quickly became popular, and was adopted by many people as a form of self-defense. It also became popular among women, as it was a form of kung fu that they could use to defend themselves against larger, stronger opponents. Some of the key practitioners of Wing Chun include Ip Man, Bruce Lee, and Donnie Yen. Ip Man was a Chinese martial artist who was one of the most influential figures in the development of Wing Chun. He is credited with teaching Wing Chun to Bruce Lee, who went on to become one of the most famous martial artists in the world. Donnie Yen is a Chinese actor and martial artist who has starred in many films and television shows that feature Wing Chun. Wing Chun is a powerful and versatile form of kung fu that can be used for self-defense, competition, or simply as a way to stay fit and healthy. It is a beautiful and graceful art that is both effective and elegant. If you are looking for a martial art that will help you to improve your self-defense skills, Wing Chun is a great option.
