History & Lineage

 

Emperor Shun - Gave mountain chain to the monks where the shaolin temple is located today. In return they taught him Shaolin Kung Fu. He later appointed monks as body guards,

 

"Chuan Shee Shun" -AKA- "Chang San Feng"- Chang invented Tai Chi and Dim Mak around 1300. He witnessed a fight between a Crane and a Snake. Where have we heard this before fast forward to the 1600's and Yim Wing Chun. In our lineage Fong Weng Shun is credited with creating Wing Chun.

 

Fong Wing Shun - Mixed Tiger Style, Snake Style, and Crane Style to form Weng Shun. Fong Weng Shun is the the true founder of Wing Chun.

Please note that the name Weng Shun Wing Chun, meaning everlasting spring fist, is the original name of the original system.

 

With that being said our history stems from Daoist Temple on Wudang Mountain under Chang San Feng. It is said that Fong Wing Shun sought protection at the Daoist Temple.

 

In China our style is called Southern Tai Chi. How comes the question How does Tai Chi and Wing Chun come from the smae place. First me must look at Wave hands like Clouds and Chi Sao.

 

 

 

 

Our Grandmaster said that Fong Wing Shun was very upset cause the training at the Shaolin Temple was geared towards pure strength and that women couldnt compete against the raw power of the men.

 

Fong Wing Shun went to Chang San Feng to help with her problem,  Chang San Feng was a out cast at the Shaolin Temple because of his Taoist views. But he agreed to teach Fong Wing Shun only because she was the daughter of a famous Taoist Preist. 

 

Fong Wing Shun was taught Tai Chi and Dim Mak under Chang San Feng this is where the Dim Mak connection comes into play with our style. 

 

Fong Wing Shun still felt something was missing in her training and one day while herself and Chang San Feng was doing (*CLOUD HANDS*) really close to each other and she took a step forwards and shortened the movements and then began doing "Cloud Hands" in reverse. She profected her movements and called it "Chi Sao". She became so good at Chi Sao she was said to be untouchable.

 

Our systems Grandmasters taught the system in hiding cause the style was outlawed by the Chinese Communist Government.

 

The name has changed to Shun Kung Wing Chun to honor our founder and the Shun family.
