Bilkent Wing Chun Kulübü

In spring semester 2010, Wing Chun was offered as a sports course. Now, it has started to its activities as a club. What is this "Wing Chun" and what does this club do?

According to Wing Chun's Facebook page, WC is a martial art, which was originally taught by master to student orally. This marital art appeared during the era of Leung Jan, Wing Chun master.

Since Wing Chun was developed in the time of the Ming and Shaolin battle with the Qing Family, many myths about the founder of Wing Chun were spread to confuse the enemy, including the tale of Yim Wing Chun. That's why no one has been able to accurately determine the creator or creators of Wing Chun.

The Wing Chun club formed when the course ended and has been continuing with 40 students.
