THE 2 CRANE STYLES OF FUJIAN
FUKIEN CRANE
All started at the Songshan - Henan Shaolin temple, with a soft style called "Rou Quan", which dates from the Tang dynasty or earlier. Many movements of this style were later integrated into the "five animal styles". Letæ„€ focus on two of them, the snake, and crane boxing sets, which were brought to the oldest of the three Shao-Lin temples in Fu-Jian. This temple was opened in 1570 by Henan Shaolin monks. There the forms have been developed further, until ca. 1728, when the base for Wing Chun was founded, by reducing the very long crane, and snake form "Sae Ying Bak Hok Kuen", to a short, easy to learn version with 108 movements. Additionally, methods, and principles of the E-Mei snake style were integrated. Later, this form was simply called "Siu Nim Dao" (Shaolin Way) by its practitioners.
FUKIEN WHITE CRANE
Fang Qi Niang was the daughter of Fang Zhong a Northern Shaolin Master of Bei Men Wai, Funing Zhou, in Fujian Province. Her mother was Lee Pik Liung, who started to teach her Shaolin Fist at very young age.
Later she moved to the White Lotus Temple (Bai Lian Si), in Chuan Zhou, where she developed the principles of Fukien White Crane Kung Fu.
CLARIFICATION
FATSHAN WING-CHUN
After the original Yong-Bei-Chuan / Wing-Chun 108 movements form was established in Fatshan, three instructors
divided it later into three 36 sections. Thereby the techniques were learned easier, and the system could spread more faster.
HONG-KONG WING-CHUN
Today the term "Hong-Kong Wing Chun" is mainly used to describe the teachings of Yip-Man (who taught in Hong-Kong since 1950), who first became popular thru Bruce Lee, and later famous from TV-series, and movies. But in fact, Leung-Bik-Wo,
who started privately teaching Wing-Chun in Hong-Kong in 1907, is the real father of Hong-Kong Wing Chun.
YIP-MAN WING-CHUN
Yip-Man had four teachers: Chan-Wah-Shun, Ng-Jung-Suh, Leung-Bik-Wo, and Yuen-Kay-Shan.
Because Yip-Man taught at least four different versions of Wing-Chun in his life (The three he
learned, as well one he modified), the name "Yip-Man Wing-Chun" can be apply to any of these.
