Meet the Ving Tsun, the martial art practiced by Bruce Lee.
(IMPACT MAGAZINE published in Brazil in very early `90s)
Article by Master Leo Imamura in the beginning of his carrer


In this article, I present to brazilian people some elementary aspects of our art. Ving Tsun (official name, but also called as Wing Chun), earn a lot of publicity when the martial artist and actor Bruce Lee, today a legendary icon, said to the international midia that he was very grateful to his Master Ip Man for teach him Ving Tsun.
Its important to say that Ip Man was the only person that Bruce Lee recognized as his Master and the Ving Tsun System as his only formal practice.
Nowadays, Ving Tsun is the Kung Fu style must practiced in US, UK, Australia and also in Hong Kong (the biggest Chinese martial arts center in the world).
The basic proposition of Ving Tsun is to make the practitioner feel relaxed and be able to enjoy his existence in harmony with the place that he lives.
The practice of Ving Tsun also gives: development of the body potentials, a very understanding of the classic Chinese way, and conscience of the intrinsic aspects of the nature. And also a better health: physic, spiritual and mental.
Those objectives are reached using a efficient system of self-defense who acts in physical,mental and spiritual fields.

This legendary method released by a budist monk called Ng Mui and structured by her most proeminent disciple called Yim Ving Tsun was improved by intellectuals and medics who practiced the art trough the generations.

Between those men we must be grateful to Grand-Master Ip Man who introduced the system in Hong Kong, and now the art can be spread around the world by his disciples. In west we notice the work by Bruce Lee introducing the Ving Tsun in US and Moy Yat, another disciple of Ip Man and the leader of the Ving Tsun Family in US who has developed and promoted the Ving Tsun in its traditional form.

He started in the same moment that in arrived in US the MYVTKFSSA that now is in Chinatown in NY. A MYVTKFSSA is structured to attend regular students and also special students(also called disciples). The special students are members for life(lifetime member) in the Moy Family.

They are also called disciples of first generation of Moy Yat and receive their kung fu name by his own hands, a fact that is a
