NEW! Sifu Benny Meng’s Book, Unlocking the Wing Chun Code

Grandmaster Benny Meng, curator of the Ving Tsun Museum, has just released his newest book, Unlocking the Wing Chun Code: Six Levels of Reality, Wisdom for Maximum Efficiency in Life!

This book tackles such questions as: How did the martial art of Wing Chun originate? What methodology did the ancient warriors use in their quest for Enlightenment? Did they reach their goal to create a system that can counter all styles with maximum efficiency? What were their improvements to life, to fighting, and to learning? All of these questions, and more and answered within.

Win a free pair of our Butterfly Swords!

Win a free pair of our Butterfly Swords (up to $449 in value) when you share your Wing Chun Pictures and Videos with us!

A lot of you, our kung-fu brothers and sisters, ask us to promote you and share your pictures and videos on our social media sites. Generally speaking, we do not do this because we are a neutral organization that supports all versions and lineages of Wing Chun – and promoting certain people or lineages that are not selling products via our site would look like favoritism towards a lineage or Sifu.

However, we do want to promote Wing Chun and many of you also really deserve recognition as well. So what we have decided to do is ask all of you to send us pictures and videos that we can use on our sites (Facebook and Google+, etc). This will give you a chance to get seen by tens of thousands of dedicated Wing Chunners; and will help us promote Wing Chun in all of its variety.

Interview(s) on Kung Fu Tea

kung-fu-tea-interview

Hi guys – check out Aaron’s interview on Kung Fu Tea.

From the intro: When discussing the Chinese martial arts, there is a tendency to focus obsessively on their distant roots and ancient origins.  One of the things that I have always found interesting about Wing Chun is that its more recent history is equally fascinating.  In 1900 only a handful of individuals practiced the style, today it is one of the most popular Chinese martial arts and can be found around the globe.  This is all the more surprising as many other Chinese martial arts have not fared so well in the transnational marketplace.

What about today?  What sorts of trends do we currently see in the global Wing Chun community?  Where is the art headed next? Aaron Cantrell has his finger on the pulse of the Wing Chun clan, and he has agreed to sit down and discuss what he has seen with Kung Fu Tea:   http://chinesemartialstudies.com/2013/03/22/aaron-cantrell-owner-of-everything-wing-chun-talks-to-kung-fu-tea-about-the-future-of-the-art/

Beware Butterfly Swords

Dangerous Wing Chun Swords from Longquan.

Here is a good article warning about some cheaply made and dangerous swords currently coming out of China.

From https://kwansao.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/dangerous-wing-chun-swords-from-longquan/ :

“A Longquan sword maker is selling Bat Jom Do on eBay as “lqyanggu”. I suspect this the retail website: http://www.yourswords.com/chinese-sword/chinese-traditional-weapons/wing-chun-knife-340.html

These swords are dangerous to the user! They look pretty but are very poorly constructed! Do not buy these if you value your fingers and eyeballs. The blade is not securely attached to the handle, and the handle is actually hollow. This is hidden with the cord that wraps the handle, so you won’t even notice this critical flaw until they snap in half and you impale yourself.

Everything Wing Chun Butterfly Swords Guide

This post is intended to to help you decide which series/model of Wing Chun Butterfly Swords to purchase.  This guide is intended to be used for Everything Wing Chun’s (EWC) line of Butterfly swords, although it may have some value to you as a general guide (just keep in mind that because EWC only makes high quality swords, most of the steels, construction methods, and designs discussed won’t be found on other swords currently on the market, especially the standard Asian manufacturer’s swords).

Please note there is also a more detailed 9-part article on the swords available on our blog here. If you want more details on Butterfly Swords for Wing Chun, please check it out.

You can find all these Limited Edition swords and more at Everything Wing Chun’s Butterfly Swords Page.
