The martial art Wing Chun was invented in 1700 roughly, 300 years ago by a Buddhist nun named Ng Mui. Ng Mui had a student, whose name was Yim Wing Chun and she was a lady. The name Wing Chun literally means “Hope for future”. The martial art Wing Chun, of Shaolin Kung Fu, includes short, direct movements, which were devised in order to eliminate wasted energy, which become faster in the immediate counterattacks. This martial art includes various techniques. It also includes the chi sao or otherwise "Sticky hands", the wooden dummy form, where students practice their techniques on it and also are used some weapons, such as the Butterfly knives and the Long pole. Wing chun does not use force against force as it happens in other martial arts such as Tae kwon do, karate e.t.c but students learn to absorb the force of the enemy and use it against him. There are many martial schools and gyms, where wing chun is taught. This martial art is so effective, practical and economical (in terms of time) and easy to be taught. It requires patience and absolute discipline. The Wing chun is one of the most effective systems of Chinese Kung fu.
