Welcome to Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu of Glenside, Pa. 

The Art of Wing Chun Kung Fu is over 450 yrs old and is the last Kung Fu to come out of China. It is the only Kung Fu developed by a women and was Bruce Lee's original art. 

To develop a new form, one which would have a shorter training time, five of China's Grandmasters met to discuss the merits of each of the various forms of Kung Fu. By choosing the most efficient techniques from each style, they developed training programs that would develop an efficient martial artist in five to seven years, one third the original time. However before this new form could be put into practice, the Shil Lim Temple was raided and burned by the Manchus. 

Ng Mui, a nun, was the only survivor of the original five Grandmasters. She passed her knowledge onto a young orphan girl named Wing Chun. The name represented " Hope for the Future ". In turn Wing Chun passed her knowledge on to her husband. Through the years the style became known as Wing Chun. Its techniques and teachings were passed on to only a few, always carefully selected students. 

In 1950 Yip Man started to teach Wing Chun in Hong Kong. One of his first students was the now Grandmaster, William Cheung, CEO of Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association. In 1951, at the age of 10 Cheung started his training in Wing Chun Kung Fu under the late Grandmaster Yip Man. It was during this time that he inherited the complete system of Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Master William Beck achieved Master level certification from Grandmaster William Cheung in 2014 . He taught Ben Landau from 2012 till his death in 2023. Ben continues his training in New Jersey, with Master Beck's teacher Master Mazza. 

Ben Landau started taking students in November 2023, teaching Wing Chun with the detail and demand for the art Master Beck instilled.

Learn Wing Chun. Learn to Fight. Never have to.
