Orientation ahead By adhering to Ip Man grandmaster’s principles and making friends through martial arts, the association aims to correct distorted Wing Chin Kuen and put Ip Man Kung Fu back on the right track with effective amendment and timely adjustment. Besides introducing real traditional Wing Chun Kuen to the mainland China and abroad, the association will assist the nation to unify and integrate Wing Chun Kuen of various styles worldwide, standardize it and help it develop systematically, balancing the impacts of foreign martial arts on China. With reform and opening-up, China saw development of its economy and sports back on track. Martial arts will probably be chosen as a competition item in 2008 Olympics. For long-term targets, the association sets about establishing children’s Wing Chun Kung Fu Class, giving youngsters chances to learn Wing Chun Kuen in their childhood. Children with Wing Chun knowledge will be more devoted to its development and disseminate it to the world based on promotion in Hong Kong and mainland China. The association is to build Kung Fu schools, recruiting domestic and foreign students and training coaches.
