Ving Tsun Kung Fu

Ving Tsun Kung Fu is an ancient martial art developed in southern China, known for its simple yet highly effective techniques. It gained public attention in the 1950s through unsanctioned challenge fights in Hong Kong and was introduced to Germany and Europe in the 1980s by Philipp Bayer, a long-time student of Wong Shun Leung. Ving Tsun is based on human anatomy and the principles of physics, avoiding animal movements common in other Kung Fu styles. It is not merely a sport or a traditional martial art but a craft that anyone can learn. The system emphasizes conceptual understanding rather than technique against technique, teaching students principles that provide strategic advantages in self-defense situations. Ving Tsun consists of three unarmed forms and a wooden dummy form, along with weapon forms like the long staff and double knife form.
