Discover the Rich History of Wing Chun Kung Fu at Our Southeast London Club Wing Chun Kung Fu is a martial art with a fascinating history rooted in efficiency, practicality, and adaptability. Originating in Southern China during the Qing Dynasty, it was developed by the Shaolin nun Ng Mui, who combined elements of White Crane and Snake styles to create a system emphasizing precision and natural body mechanics. The art was named after her student, Yim Wing Chun, who famously used the techniques for self-defense. Over centuries, Wing Chun evolved through dedicated practitioners. It was refined by figures like Leung Jan and later popularized by Ip Man, who brought it to Hong Kong in 1948. Ip Man’s teachings emphasized simplicity and effectiveness, making Wing Chun accessible to modern students. His legacy includes training Bruce Lee, who introduced Wing Chun principles to a global audience. Today, Wing Chun is celebrated worldwide for its close-range combat techniques and adaptability.

When Lee Shing came from Hong Kong to London in 1955 he was sent as the ambassador for the Yip Man Athletic Association. Prior to this he had opened his own school of wing chun in Hong Kong with the blessing and the opening by grandmaster yip man. This is so long ago but unfortunately these monumental moments in modern wing chun history have been largely forgotten and I say for some deliberately so for many commercial and egotistical reasons. In any of them Lee went onto propagate the first generation of Chinese wing chun instructors in London/England in the 1960s and 70s. He also continued with the legacy of grandmaster yip by maintaining a very secretive opening “closed door“ “approach to his teaching and no non-Chinese were allowed to take part in these classes. The world was a very different time. We’re now talking well over 50 years ago, this is something that the modern generation of wing chun practitioners probably cannot even conceive. Nevertheless, it is the accurate history of the birth of wing chun in Europe which started in London and propagated out the cross to Europe. Many of the famous early karate practitioners such as Terry O’Neal and Steve Morris also sort out and trained in this art with Joseph Cheng who went onto become the sultan of Brunei bodyguard. Such of now long since become legend in the UK wing chun archives and only those of the older generation even though of such wing chun royalty. This photograph is very important , especially for those that know , it shows Lee Shing with a young Yip Chun. Lee played host to Yip Chun when he first came to the U.K. and obviously contributed to propagate and promote the system of wing chun popularised in Hong Kong by his late father. At 108 wing chun we continue to honour and promote this legacy and these teachings in our traditional wing chun program which is unsurpassed by any other in terms of knowledge, lineage and history.

Here in London U.K. a true wing chun master has hidden in plain sight for decades. The day that I met him he told me I had won the lottery and he was absolutely right. Truly a diamond amongst the rough, and the legacy of Grand Master Lee Shing. Sifu Joseph Lee passes on that tradition today to a few favoured few including Sifu Paul Finn & who is extremely proud to pass on a legacy and tradition traced all the way back to the King of Wing chun the legendary Grand Master Leung Jaan of Gulau Village. The legacy is totally different to the standard wing chun people associate with Yip Man and Hong Kong. It is famous and characterised by the Big Idea Form. Sifu Joseph passes on the secrets of the Big Idea to those who have spent decades with him training closed door ( private ) & Sifu Paul is one of the fortunate few to have been taught the form, its applications and the two man sets. If you are interested in learning about this rare and largely secretive art then get in touch with 108 Wing Chun. This is truly something that you will not be able to find anywhere else especially in its original form.

Wing Chun, a martial art with a rich heritage, is celebrated for its holistic approach, historical accuracy, and lineage that traces back to its origins in China. The art form, approximately 200 years old, was developed in Southern China during the Ching dynasty as a means of resistance against oppressive Manchu rule. It was designed to be efficient, allowing practitioners to become proficient in a shorter time compared to other martial arts. The legendary Grandmaster Yip Man played a pivotal role in popularizing Wing Chun in the 20th century. He began teaching in Hong Kong in the 1950s, and his teachings have been passed down through generations. One of his students, Lee Shing, brought Wing Chun to London’s Chinatown in the 1950s, further spreading its influence. Lee was appointed as the president of the yip man athletic Association and such brought this incredible heritage and Legacy to Europe for the first time unfortunately, today, his importance to the international development of wing chun is not largely recognised and this is a great shame as he is without doubt one of the most influential and important, practitioners of the art in the last generation Today, 108 Wing Chun continues this legacy, offering a comprehensive curriculum that spans from foundational techniques to advanced applications. The training is designed to be holistic, enhancing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Sifu Paul Finn, a certified instructor in the lineage of Yip Man and Lee Shing, emphasises traditional and functional martial arts suitable for modern society[. This continuity ensures that Wing Chun remains a historically accurate and culturally rich martial art. #wingchun #wingchung #yipman #ipman #kungfu #sidcuo #bromley #london #martialarts #brucelee #vingtsun #bexley

Our session, focused on the art of sticky hands, was a humbling reminder of his exceptional skill and patience.
