Ving Tsun:
Martial Arts & Self-Defense
for the Modern World

Ving Tsun Kung Fu  (pronounced Wing Chun) is an ancient Chinese martial art that was designed in times of war as a powerful military technology. We practice it in modern times to defend ourselves in the streets, as well as explore our own economy of motion, and to develop more profound relaxation.
