Overview

Chinese kung fu has evolved over thousands of years, with Southern-style martial arts known for their close-range strikes and power.

This journey takes you to the roots of Bruce Lee’s martial arts—Wing Chun, a Southern Chinese style. Foshan, just an hour from Guangzhou, is the hometown of Grandmaster Ip Man, Bruce Lee’s legendary teacher. Visit Ip Man’s ancestral home to learn how Wing Chun grew from street combat to a global art.

Then, train at an authentic Wing Chun academy with one of Ip Man’s direct disciples, learning the "Sun Character Straight Punch" and its core principles. In the afternoon, dive into lion dance, a Southern Chinese tradition blending martial arts, drumming, and lion costumes. After learning its history, enjoy a live show and try it yourself: lift a 3.5kg lion head, hold the horse stance, and learn basic moves.

Whether you're coming from Guangzhou, Foshan, or Hong Kong, this hands-on journey into Southern Chinese martial arts is easily within reach.
