Why Lineage is Crucial in Wing Chun

In Wing Chun, lineage is the bedrock of preserving the art’s authenticity and ensuring its techniques remain true to the original teachings across the globe.

Through a direct link to past masters, lineage guarantees that the philosophies and methods are passed down accurately, safeguarding the integrity of the system.

Even though Wing Chun is one style of kung fu, different lineages and schools offer vastly different takes on the system. CST lineage Wing Chun is more ‘internal’ than most other schools, with more emphasis on practicality and relaxation.
