Γουίν Τσουν : 詠春 : Wing Chun
Το Γουίν-τσουν (κινέζικα: 詠春) (επίσης Γουίν-τσουν Τσουάν ή Γουίν-τσουν Κουνγκ Φου) είναι μία κινέζικη πολεμική τέχνη η οποία έχει τις ρίζες της στη Νότια Κίνα. Tο Γουίν-τσουν προφέρεται επίσης Γουίν-τσαν ή Βιν-τσουν.
Γνωστοί δάσκαλοι (Sifu) είναι οι Γιπ Μαν, Μπρους Λι, Γουιλιαμ Τσενγ, Όστιν Γκοχ, Κάρλος Λι. Ο Μπρους Λι διδάχτηκε την τέχνη του Γουίν Τσουν από τον Γίπ Μαν σε ηλικία μόλις δεκατριών ετών.
The common legend as told by Ip Man involves the young woman Yim Wing Chun (Wing Chun literally means forever springtime or praising spring) at the time after the destruction of the Southern Shaolin and its associated temples by the Qing government.
After Wing Chun rebuffs the local warlord's marriage offer, he says he'll reconsider his proposal if she can beat him in a martial art match.
She asks a Buddhist nun- Ng Mui, who was one of the Shaolin Sect survivors, to teach her boxing; this still nameless style enables Yim Wing Chun to defeat the warlord.
She thereafter marries Leung Bac-Chou and teaches him the style, which he names after her.
Since the system was developed during the Shaolin and Ming resistance to the Qing Dynasty many legends about the creator of Wing Chun were spread to confuse the enemy, including the story of Yim Wing Chun.
This perhaps explains why no one has been able to accurately determine the creator or creators of Wing Chun.
