Wing Chun – Martial Arts Introduction

Posted on May 2, 2012 by chanc

Due to world wide success of the Ip Man (2008) Movie, Wing Chun became even more popular since the days of Bruce Lee back in the 60′s. For those who may be asking why ….”why Wing Chun Bear? why not Karate Bear or Taichi Bear or Aikido Bear?”

Well as for the new visitors who doesn’t know me well enough, it’s due because I went on a trip to Yokohama Japan and I took a photo of the bear below, and the name just became an alias.

And for those who haven’t seen the movie Ip Man – I highly recommended

Wing Chun Bear Strikes Back!

Wing Chun have hints and evidence of animal styles in its techniques, such as the Crane, snakes, horse stance....etc. But you dont hear them say Bear.

I have a feeling the founder of Wing Chun might have seen bears fight. But because it looked too masculine and aggressive maybe she decided not to say the style derives from a burly bear. Or people may not try to court her back in the day..........It's just my philosophical theory is all....
