Why do some people say Wing Chun is a woman's fist?

There are countless cultural treasures in China's 5,000-year history and culture, and some even become the representatives of China culture. Wushu is one of them. China Wushu has a long history, which can be traced back to primitive society. In the long history, China Wushu has formed many categories, from equipment to boxing, from family boxing to foreign boxing. Foreign boxing can be said to be varied and varied, and Taizu Boxing and Yuejia Boxing are suitable for battlefield fighting. There are also Xiaohong Boxing and Xingyiquan, which are suitable for keeping fit. With the release of the film "Ip Man" series, among these boxing methods, Wing Chun is known by more people, but some people say that Wing Chun is a female boxing. Is it true?/You don't say. In fact, this statement is not an exaggeration:

1. Wing Chun Boxing is the origin of wing Chun Boxing created by women. There are several opinions, but in general, there are two:

There is a saying that Wing Chun Boxing was created by Yan Yongchun in Qing Dynasty. That year, Yan Yongchun and his father fled from Guangdong to Sichuan to avoid the enemy. Young Yan Yongchun studied martial arts with five teachers. When she grew up, Yan Yongchun was attracted by local bullies and planned to marry home. Yan Yongchun agreed to fight with the bully. If she wins, she won't cause any more trouble. If she loses, she will follow the bully. As a result, the bully was quickly defeated by Yan Yongchun, and this kind of boxing she used was.

According to the second theory, after the South Shaolin Temple was burned down by the Qing government, five teachers fled down the mountain. After going down the mountain, they met Yan Yongchun and passed the crane fist of South Shaolin Temple to Yan Yongchun. On this basis, Yan Yongchun founded Wing Chun Quan.

So no matter what kind of statement, it shows that the founder of Wing Chun Quan is a woman.

Second, Wing Chun Boxing is different from other boxing methods, perhaps because its founder is a woman. Its characteristics are more suitable for women, because wing chun boxing pays attention to both rigidity and softness, and exerts the greatest lethality with the least strength. Its boxing speed is fast, but its defense is tight. Its position is extremely flexible, both offensive and defensive, and it pays attention to hurting people with inch strength. Its force point is on the center line of the body, and the punch is on the back.

Third, practicing wing chun boxing is suitable for women. Sometimes, we can find that people who practice Wing Chun Boxing, whether male or female, are thinner, and they have a completely different impression from those who practice other boxing techniques to form three big and five thick. Moreover, Wing Chun Boxing mainly practices hand speed, and there are not many related strength improvement exercises. Moreover, Wing Chun Boxing is not big and belongs to small kung fu. The narrower the place, the better Wing Chun can be played. This is also because the society in which the creators lived at that time had high requirements for women, which made it necessary to consider these factors when creating related kung fu.

Having said that, it does not represent the weakness of Wing Chun Quan. On the contrary, Wing Chun Boxing is a typical boxing method, which uses the weak to beat the strong and solve the battle quickly. Bruce Lee Jeet Kune Do is also based on Wing Chun Boxing. So no matter what kind of boxing, as long as it can strengthen the body, it is a good boxing to help the weak.
