History

Established in 2006.

According to legend, in 520 A.D., the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma traveled from India to the Shaolin Temple (the Siu Lam monastery) in China.

Bodhidharma laid the foundations of Weng Chun by looking for a holistic approach to the questions of human existence, the awareness of one’s body and how to deal with energy, power and aggression. Up to this day, members of the Weng Chun Kuen Kung Fu clans celebrate Bodhidharma’s «birthday».

The Temple of «the Eternal Power of Life»

A special temple was set up in the Southern Shaolin monastery, in which only the most experienced monks came together in the course of hundreds of years to refine and improve their Kung Fu. The temple acquired the name Weng Chun, which means the «eternal power of life» or «everlasting springtime».
