Why the name “Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun of Arizona”?
Rather than name the business after a person, “Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun of Arizona” was chosen to honor the primary martial art taught at the Kwoon. The name Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Kuen literally translates as “Red Flower Righteous Praise Spring Fist” and was the name given to the art by one of the Hung Fa Yi Lineage holders, “Hung Gun Bui” a leader of the Red Bandana Boxer Society in the mid 1800’s.
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a Chinese close quarter combat system which traces its origins back several hundred years ago to the overthrow of China’s Ming Dynasty by the invading Manchurians who formed the Qing Dynasty. This event helped generate a collective effort by a group of Shaolin warrior monks and military officers loyal to the Ming Dynasty with the purpose of developing a fighting system that could be learnt quickly and effectively in order to combat the invading Qing forces. The result of these combined efforts is the Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Kung Fu System that is taught at our school today. Our goal at Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun of Arizona is to preserve and pass on this unique branch of the Wing Chun system in its entirety with nothing added or subtracted as our ancestors intended.
