	Everything Wing Chun - Books, Videos, Wooden Dummy, Butterfly Swords, Long Poles, & more!
		Also know as Ving Tsun, or Wing Tsun (tm), Wing Chun is a Chinese style of Kung-Fu that was made famous by students of Grandmaster Yip Man, such as Bruce Lee and Wong Shun Leung.
		It came to prominence due to Yip Man's students winning a large number of challenge matches (beimo) against kung-fu masters and muay-thai fighters in the 1950's and 60's.
		You will notice that Wing Chun varies greatly from person to person (or from lineage to lineage), even though many people all trained under Yip Man. This is due to the way Yip Man taught at different stages of his life, the understanding of the student, and the personal interpretation of the student.
