A NEW weekly class teaching the Chinese martial art of traditional Wing Chun is set to open its doors to people in the Fort William area.
Developed for good health, as well as self-defence, Wing Chun, the style of kung fu first popularised by Bruce Lee, was founded in China four centuries ago. Said to have been created by a Buddhist nun who fled the burning of the Shaolin Temple, Wing Chun does not rely on strength or physical power, but on technique and energy, making it highly suitable for both men and women.
Christened Nevis Wing Chun, the new classes will be led by Mark Entwistle, who has been involved in Chinese and Japanese martial arts for 35 years and practising and teaching Wing Chun since 1996.
