The Hons began training a revolutionary army in the art of Kung Fu in the Shaolin temple. Because the traditional Shaolin system took 15 to 20 years to learn, five Shaolin grandmasters met to discuss the merist of each of their styles. They chose the most efficient techniques from each style and designed a system that would take a shorter period of time, 5 years, to learn. This system was named Wing Chun which meant ?Hope for the Future?. Before the system could be put into practice the Shaolin temple was raided and burnt. Of the five masters, only one survived, a Shaolin nun called Ng Mui. Ng Mui passed her knowledge of the system onto a young orphan girl whom she named Wing Chun. In turn Wing Chun passed it onto her husband and through the years the martial art became known as Wing Chun.

Wing Chun operates on a number of key principles.
