Many people have heard of or practice Wing Chun around the world but not many know of which philosophy under pins the art. So which philosophy is Wing Chun based upon?
To partially answer this question we can take a look at a book on Wing Chun with Yip Chun originally published in 1993, authored by Danny Connor, entitled – ‘Wing Chun Martial Arts: Principles & Techniques‘.
This book is an excellent summary of Wing Chun and it’s origins. It’s a solid book to give to beginners and those interested in learning about Wing Chun – not necessary everything to do with the foundations but a mixture of both history, principles and philosophy. I remember when I first read the entire book and realized that perhaps the most valuable information in the book was right at the back.
