Wing Chun World Record
All the students of the College (20.000) take weekly Wing Chun lessons as a mandatory part of their school program. Wing Chun classes replaced the old Taekwondo ones as part of the school's counter-terrorism training.
Wing Chun is a self-defense martial art designed especially for short-range spaces. So, for this reason, its engagement in extremely small and crowded spaces as the interior of a plane was thought of as more appropriate.
The students were taught by the Chongquing Wing Chun Association, headed by the already well-known Tu Tengyao. Tu says to be a descendant of Yip Man, also known in China as Ye Wen.
Therefore his school and his very direct style would be a truthful representation of Master Yip Man Wing Chun.
We have already talked a lot about Tu, his achievements, and his style, so if you're curious to know more, you can learn more in the article below.
