Kung Fu Lessons

During his visit with us last month, Grandpa took the time to teach Mei Mei and I some Wing Chun "Eternal Spring" Kung Fu.  Grandpa Chan is Kung Fu Master who has been practicing for 40 years.  Wing Chun is the style of Kung Fu that Bruce Lee was taught by his master, Ip Man.

Interstingly, according to legend, the style was invented by a women.  According to Wikipedia:

Wing Chun practitioners believe that the person with better body structure will win. A correct Wing Chun stance is like a piece of bamboo, firm but flexible, rooted but yielding. This structure is used to either deflect external forces or redirect them into the ground.

 Here are some videos from the lessons.  Enjoy!
