The legendary history of Wing Chun originated with a Buddhist nun by the name of Ng Mui who created Wing Chun to take advantage of weaknesses in other arts. According to Ip Man, Wing Chun developed when Ng Mui met a girl named Yim Wing Chun. After fleeing the Kanxi Emperor’s forces who had attempted to destroy Henan Shaolin Monastery, that our art got its name. A bandit had been trying to force Yim Wing Chun into marriage, and it was the art of Wing Chun that defeated the bandit. Ng Mui’s way of teaching Yim Wing Chun was taught in a way so that she could learn quickly, and without having to develop strength. In a way, one could view this as a sort of David vs. Goliath story. However, this story of Yim Wing Chun is not the only history told of Wing Chun’s creation. Some of the earliest mentions of Wing Chun date to the Red Boat Opera, a Cantonese group that traveled along southern China on red boats called Junks in the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. This group played a big part in leading a popular uprising against the Qing Dynasty government, using an early version of what we know as Wing Chun.
