Welcome to Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu
of Fort Washington, Pa. The Art of Wing Chun Kung Fu
is over 450 yrs old and is the last Kung Fu to come out of
China. It is the only Kung Fu developed by a women and
was Bruce Lee's original art. To develop a new form, one
which would have a shorter training time, five of China' s
Grandmasters met to discuss the merits of each of the
various forms of Kung Fu. By choosing the most effcient
techniques from each style, they developed training
programs that would develop an effcient martial artist in
five to seven years, one third the original time. However
before this new form could be put into practice, the
Shil Lim Temple was raided and burned by the Manchus.
Ng Mui, a nun, was the only survivor of the original five
Grandmasters. She passed her knowledge onto a young
orphan girl named Wing Chun. The name represented
" Hope for the Future ". In turn Wing Chun passed her
knowledge on to her husband. Through the years the
style became known as Wing Chun. It"s techniques and
teachings were passed on to only a few , always carefully
selected students. In 1950 Yip Man started to teach Wing
Chun in Hong Kong. One of his first students was the now
Grandmaster, William Cheung, CEO of Global Traditional
Wing Chun Kung Fu Association. In 1951, at the age of 10
Cheung started his training in Wing Chun Kung Fu under
the late Grandmaster Yip Man. It was during this time that
he inherited the complete system of Traditional Wing Chun
Kung Fu.
Master William Beck achieved Master level certification
from Grandmaster William Cheung in 2014 . He has been
teaching Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu for 24 years.
