Global Wing Chun Martial Artists Vie for Spot in World Southern Shaolin Wing Chun Competition Finals

Wing Chun, a martial art steeped in history, traces its origins back to the Southern Shaolin Temple in Fuqing, China. Developed by Wu Mei, inspired by a Zen Master during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the martial art has since transcended its local roots. In 2014, Fuzhou's Wing Chun initiative gained recognition as a representative project of China's national intangible cultural heritage, showcasing its cultural significance.

The World Southern Shaolin Wing Chun Competition offers a platform for Wing Chun aficionados worldwide to deepen their engagement with Chinese cultural practices and martial arts philosophy. It promotes cultural dialogue and unity among international participants, enriching their understanding and fostering global friendships.

The competition is overseen by the Chinese Wushu Association, with comprehensive support from Huanqiu.com. It is jointly organized by the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Sports, and the Fujian Province Wing Chun Association. The Fuqing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Southern Shaolin Temple in Fuqing, and other entities are responsible for executing the event.
