This is one of those stories that really should be passed around. Wing Chun Kung Fu, one of the best of the old gung fu systems, was created by a (sniff) little girl! And, if that isn't bad enough, the Sticky Hands drill, after several hundred years, still represents high tech state of the Martial Arts!
Wing Chun was a young girl in old China. She was a pleasant, little thing, and she looked forward to marrying her boyfriend, life was going to be grand, and all that sort of thing. Then, the big, bad bandit leader came to town.
One gander at Wing Chun and the bandit chieftain said that he was going to have her for himself! Poor, little Wing Chun, she cried big droplets and ran into the forest and generally whined and moaned. Life was looking pretty as stinky as an outhouse, and it seemed she would never get to marry her sweet boyfriend!
In the forest, however, she met a nun, name of Ng Mui, from the Shaolin Temple. Ng Mui listened to the tale of the bandit leader's rancid love, and she decided to help the peasant girl. She told Wing Chun to stall the bandit leader off for a year, and that in that time she would teach her a special kind of Gung Fu.
Wing Chun agreed to the arrangement, and she went back to the village and confronted the bandit leader. She agreed to marry him in one year, and of her own free will. The joker in the deck was that the bandit chieftain would have to prove that he was a man and beat her in a real fight.
For the next twelve months the young girl trained under the nun. She learned the movements and drilled the self defense techniques. Most of all, she practiced a method of self defense called Sticky Hands.
At the end of a year Wing Chun returned to her village and met the bandit leader. In a fierce fight, she handed the bad guy his head, subduing him thoroughly. At last, free from the threat of the bad guy, she was free to marry her boyfriend.
Now, the kicker to all this is that, after getting hitched, Wing Chun and her new hubbie had a little marital spat. And, in the process of straightening him out, she kicked his fanny a bit. I guess he only knew Karate, or Judo, or kenpo, or something that didn't have Sticky Hands.
