HISTORY AND PASSAGE 歷史源流

​The Wing Chun style of Pao Fa Lien is an internal kung fu system that originated from the Shaolin Monastery over three hundred years ago. During that time, there were intense revolutions against the Manchurian invaders. One of the revolutionaries, nicknamed Dai Dong Fung (Great East Wind), had been a senior martial monk of the monastery and travelled a long distance to escape arrest from the Ch’ing Dynasty. He took refuge in the South (Canton Province) and taught the Tse brothers all of his martial arts. The martial art that has been passed down through generations has been referred to as Wing Chun Kuen.

The lineage of Wing Chun Kuen can be traced back through six generations:
