Shaolin kung fu has influenced so many different martial arts around the world that it can be confusing as to what the true nature of shaolin really is.  Out of the shaolin temple came the 5 animal styles Dragon,Snake,Crane,Tiger and Leopard. These styles represent the shaolin arts.  Interestingly enough it is said that Wing Chun comes from Snake and Crane systems.

The shaolin fighting arts where started not for battle but for health by a man named  Bodhidharma. He traveled to china from India when he arrived at the Shaolin temple he found a bunch of weak and lazy monks. Since he believed that the true way to enlightenment was through exercise so the story goes.

Wing Chun has been a very mis-understood martial arts system. I believe it is becoming what Bruce Lee called a classical mess.

Once something has become fixed there is little chance of growth and in many of the Wing Chun Systems today that is exactly what is happening.   There is no absolute right or wrong when it comes to expressing yourself through your martial art.  It is this writers opinion that you should use what works for you. Wing Chun is a great system of kung fu. Like all things though in order to be fluid and not rigid you have to have the ability to flow and adapt with changes.
