Ving Tsun Kung Fu

The lack of written information on this ingenious combat system sparked the motivation to do something about it. Forty years later, it's here. A must-have for every Ving Tsun practitioner, this book is a step-by-step approach through the entire Ving Tsun system. It provides all the tools you'll need to take your existing skills to the next level. From the basics to in-depth knowledge, this book details a complete overview of Ving Tsun?s unique concepts and techniques, as well as how to master them.
Being a concept-based system makes Ving Tsun ideal for fighting because it simplifies your thinking to make you more effective. With the aid of forms and exercises, we explain how to turn these concepts into routines. Ving Tsun will help you reach your full potential both as a fighter and a human-being. With this in mind, we describe the most important physical, psychological and interactive skills you need to develop for combat. Even if you practise other martial arts, the universal thinking outlined in this book will contribute to your further development.
Evolved over the course of centuries, the Ving Tsun system is the result of the collective experiences gained by the many generations that preceded us. However, it was Yip Man who opened up the Ving Tsun system to the world by bringing it from mainland China to Hong Kong in 1949.
One of Yip Man?s most skilful students, Wong Shun Leung (cover picture), was instrumental to the continued development of Ving Tsun. This book is our opportunity to honour him and all those who went before us. We are extremely proud to continue to spread the Ving Tsun legacy.
