What is Buddha Hand Wing Chun?
Formerly known as Gu Yee Chuan, this Southern Chinese martial art was renamed by Grandmaster Henry Leung to honor his late teacher, Shaolin Abbot Hsu Yun (also known as "Gao Ghi Fut Sao"). It has the aggressive, springy power for which all Wing Chun is known, but has retained the soft, internal components usually associated with martial arts such as Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing I and Ba Gua.
Don't be confused by terms such as "Traditional" and "Modified" when inquiring about Wing Chun. These are terms used in one Wing Chun lineage to distinguish between students of the same teacher. Buddha Hand (Fut Sao) is an authentic Cantonese lineage of Wing Chun.
