This very progressive approach allows the practitioner to be truly self-expressive with martial medium. Ving Tsun was born in the turbulent times in China when Ming loyalists were fighting a subversive and clandestine war against the Manchus of the ruling Ching Dynasty. At the time, becoming proficient in Shaolin-based fighting systems took up to 20 years. The objective of the Ming revolutionaries was to train effective fighters in 3 to 5 years. One of the prevalent theories is that five Shaolin-trained masters convened to design this new fighting system. Its result was the streamlined and efficient system which would come to be known as Ving Tsun. www.nenadkoviljac.com
