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.  Since then it has become one of the most practiced Martial Arts in the world.  It focuses on simple, direct, and efficient attacks and defenses.

 

The main forms in Wing Chun are Sil Lum Tao (Little Idea Form), Chum Kiu (Searching Bridge), and Biu Gee (Shooting Fingers).  There is also a Wing Chun wooden dummy form (Mook Yan Jong or Wooden Man Post), and the Wing Chun weapons forms for the Butterfly Swords (Bart Jaam Do (or 8 Slash Swords) and Dragon Pole (Luk Dim Boon Kwan (or 6 1/2 Point Pole) or long pole).  Wing Chun also has a tripodial form (for kicks), and many other minor components that vary throughout the different lineages.  Wing Chun is also known for its Chi Sao sensitivity drill, also known as "sticky hands", and lesser known Chi Gerk (or "sticky legs") which enable the practitioner to fight by the sense of touch alone and cover his or her openings while striking the opponent.  You will also find Conditioning, Iron Palm Training and Mui Fa (Plum Flower Post) training in many Wing Chun lineages as well.

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.  Wing Chun is a kung-fu style based on theory rather than technique, and thus very customizable to the individual practitioner. There are also a number of Non-Yip Man lineages of Wing Chun that are very good.
