Wing Tsun, a Chinese self-defense system originating in southern China around the 18th century, is not a sport but a practical system for everyday use. Its development was influenced by Bai He and Snake styles and likely arose from local kung fu families adapting techniques to their environment and historical context, particularly the Manchu Dynasty's oppression.
While various origin stories exist, including one involving a nun and her student, and another linking it to the Southern Shaolin Temple, its evolution appears to have been a gradual process.
The system's core principles are rooted in practical self-defense, drawing upon and refining elements from earlier martial art styles.
