Ng Mui

Ng Mui Si Tai (Wumei Shitai or Nun, Five Plums), was most often said to have been from the legendary Shaolin Temple and to have been one of the fabled five ancestors who escaped the temple’s destruction. Her true identity was sometimes said to have been Lui Sei-Leung, the Forth Daughter of a Ming general named Lui.

Yim Wing Chun

Different accounts of Yim’s story exist, but the central sequence of events remains largely the same, beginning with Yim’s teacher. During the Qing Dynasty, a Shaolin Buddhist nun and abbess, Ng Mui, reportedly fled the destruction of the Siu Lam Temple at the hands of the government; the temple was believed to be harbouring revolutionaries.According to one legend, Ng saw a crane and a snake fighting, and incorporated their movements into her style of Chinese boxing to form a new, unnamed martial art system.

Ng later took on a disciple, Yim Wing-chun, and passed the art on to her.Yim was well known for her beauty, and sold tofu for a living.A local bully tried to force her to marry him, but she used the art to defeat him.Some accounts claim that Ng taught Yim the art specifically for the purpose of defending herself against the unwanted advances.

Leung Bok Chau

In most stories, in the mid-1810s, she married a man named Leung Bok-Cho. In some accounts, he learned alongside her under Yim Yee until the old man passed away, at which point he continued learning from his wife (following an encounter where she quite easily proved her fighting skills greatly surpassed those of her husband). In others, Yim Wing-Chun alone taught him her remarkable fighting skills.

From the many accounts it is clear that Yim Wing-Chun, whether a real person or an alias used as a cover, is credited in the Wing Chun Kuen creation myths as the principle founder, or one of the principle founders, of the art.

Leung Lan Kwai

Leung Lan-Kwai (Liang Langui) was said in some stories to have been a wealthy scholar from Guangzhou and in other’s an osteopath from the Foshan or Zhaoqing region. Although he is absent from tales of other branches, the Yip Man system maintains he learned Wing Chun Kuen from Leung Bok-Cho (in some accounts in Guangxi, in others in Guangdong) and taught the art to Red Junk Opera actor Wong Wah-Bo.

When he left the opera, Leung Yee-Tai settled in Foshan and taught his knowledge to Leung Jan (either by himself or in conjunction with Wong Wah-Bo.

Wong Wah-Bo

Wong Wah-Bo (Huang Huabao) was said to have been a Gulao, Heshan native and the senior-most Wing Chun Kuen practitioner of the Red Junk Opera in the mid-1800s. In the opera, he reportedly played the role of Mo-Sang, or the male martial lead. This part would have required extensive knowledge of the martial arts in general, especially the more dynamic fist and weapon routines.

Leung Yee Tai

Wong Wah Bo was a member of an opera community known as Red Opium having opium patterns on. Wong worked with Leung Yee Tei at Red Opium. Meanwhile, he encountered Abbot Chi Shin working as a cook at Red Opium who disguised himself after escaping from Siulam. Chi Shin taught Leung Yee Tei long pole techniques. Wong Wah was close to Leung Yee Tei, they were friends and shared what they learned about Kung Fu. They both shared and developed each other and progressed. Thus, long pole techniques were concatenated to Kung Fu. Leung Jan perceived the deep secrets of Wing Tzun reaching the highest point mof mastership. Various Kung Fu masters challenged him but all experienced defeat. Leung Jan became very famous.

Yip Man (He learned from Chan Wah Shun Land Leung Bik)
