The legend of Wing Chun attributes its development to a woman too, though it seems like the real origin is unknown.
- Tamerlin 16y agoWing Chun is derived from a branch of Feeding Crane -- Wing Chun was, I believe, one of the Feeding Crane designer's descendents -- though it may be rather that she was a trainee rather than actual family. That at least is based on the geneology that Liu Chang I (Grand Master of the Feeding Crane school) showed us when he was here teaching a seminar on Feeding Crane. Bruce Lee was on his chart also -- on the Wing Chun branch. There's some uncertainty in that, of course. Only the Okinawan karate history is actually harder to find than the traditional Chinese :) (The modern, flashy wire-fu stuff doesn't count, it's not traditional, or even particularly old.)
