In Mystical Taiwan: Wing Chun

Jonathan | November 14, 2010

Since the success of the Ip Man movie franchise, which tells the real-life story of Bruce Lee’s teacher, Wing Chun Kung Fu has been growing in worldwide popularity. To find out how this ancient Chinese martial art is practiced in Taiwan, I spoke to American freelance writer and Wing Chun instructor Will Mounger. Will has been teaching Wing Chun in Taiwan for nine years. He talks to me about what distinguishes Wing Chun as a martial art, as well as how it’s taken off in Taiwan. To find out more, check out this week’s ‘In Mystical Taiwan’.

To learn about the Wing Chun lifestlye as well as how to get lessons, go to Will’s blog here.
