"Wing Chun is for the mind and body for male and female of any age. I believe that this system is for adults and youngsters with mature minds. It is very easy to learn, very practical, and you do not need to be in perfect physical shape to practice Wing Chun. In three months, if you practice every day you should be able to use what you learned in an emergency situation. You will not become a Master in 90 days, but you should be able to take care of yourself" --

-Grandmaster Moy Yee Hop

What is Wing Chun

Wing Chun (also known as Ving Tsun) Kung Fu is a concept based martial art designed to develop sensitivity, internal power, balance , structure, hand and feet coordination, and an immediate response in case of an emergency. The system is easy to learn and you do not have to be in perfect physical shape or very young to be an effective and talented practitioner. You are never too old to learn Wing Chun, you will age faster if you do not practice

"Wing Chun teaches you to respond to an attack with a counter attack that is not only spontaneous and immediate, but the most appropriate, therefore the most effective." -Grand Master Moy Yat

The Wing Chun Kung Fu System

The Wing Chun Kung Fu system consist of three open hand forms, a wooden dummy form, and two weapon forms. The open hand forms include Sil Nim Tao, Chum Kiu, and Biu Jee. The weapon forms include the Luk Dim Poon Kwan (6 1/2 point pole) and Baat Cham Dao

"Kung Fu can not be taught by books, magazines, or videos."

-Yip Man quote

"Theory without practice is very dangerous. Practice without theory is wasted effort."

-Grand Master Moy Yee Hop

Sil Nim Tao

Sil Nim Tao is the first form in the Wing Chun Kung Fu system. The name "Sil Nim Tao" translates to "little idea", "small thought"or what we like to call "a thinking form". Sil Nim Tao will teach students precise hand positioning and movement, Internal power, structure, and build a strong horse foundation. The form also introduces students to the centerline concept, which is perhaps the most important principle in Wing Chun Kung Fu. The form should be practiced in a slow and very relaxed manner.

Chum Kiu

Chum Kiu (Seeking the bridge) is the second form in the Wing Chun Kung Fu system. This form will teach you how to move your body in a well balanced manner so you won't lose your equilibrium (balance), and structure while applying your kung fu in motion. It will help you to make contact between you and your opponent in a more precise, balanced and structural way. Students should play this form repeatedly by itself or together with Sil Nim Tao for many months until the practitioner wears down three pairs of traditional Kung Fu shoes. Only then should the student be considered being ready for the third form

Biu Jee

Biu Jee is the third open hand form in the Wing Chun system. Biu Jee means "thrusting fingers" or "Three bows to Buddha" (without necessarily being religious in nature) and it is applied as an emergency form to regain immediate control of the practitioner's centerline whenever the hands leave or are forced off the centerline. Students must have practiced thoroughly and proficiently the two previous forms and his or her foundation should be very strong and solid before moving on to Biu Jee.

In Wing Chun Kung Fu, foundation is everything

Muk Yan Jong

"Muk Yan Jong" literally translates to "wooden man" and is considered a training tool to practice all the various hand and foot techniques from the first three forms. The Muk Yan Jong has 108 techniques and will tighten up a practitioner's hands and develop the proper use of power and energy.There are blatant attacks, counter attacks, and recovery techniques in the Muk Yan Jong form. The practitioner should not hit the Muk Yan Jong with brute force, but with precision, structure and fluidity. There is a proper sequence for learning the Muk Yan Jong and if you ever needed a knowledgeable and experienced kung fu instructor you should look for one before practicing. Without a strong foundation in Wing Chun Kung Fu, you will only perhaps be hurting yourself, breaking the equipment, and wasting time. If you play the wooden dummy before you are ready for it, guess who the dummy is?

Luk Dim Poon Kwan & Baat Cham Dao

The Wing Chun Weapon Forms

Before students consider using the Kwan, they must have practiced the power punching low stance "Yin Choi" for a minimum 6 months or longer. This practice will guarantee to make your punches much more powerful only if you have the proper training. Once again, practicing the Kwan without the proper supervision and foundation, you severely risk hurting yourself or others. Please do not practice this exercise unless you know what you are doing.

Luk Dim Boon Kwan translates to "Six and a Half Point Pole." The "points" are actually the techniques utilizing a long pole. This form also covers unique footwork and a stance that is essential to maneuvering the long pole accurately.

The last and final form is the Baat Cham Dao form. "Baat Cham Dao" translates to "eight cut knife" which is the number of techniques covered. Baat Cham Dao is usually only taught to those students who have shown in their development throughout the years to possess a high etiquette in kung fu manners and who are loyal and respectful to the Kung Fu family, Sifu and Grandmaster.

"The purpose of Wing Chun Kung Fu is to lead you to be free and relaxed. This can not be achieved if you are tied physically and emotionally to techniques" - Grandmaster Moy Yat

Our Kung Fu History

In order to preserve the quality of the Kung Fu, it is very important that the system continue to be handed down without modification, unchanged by our own ideas. If even the smallest of changes are introduced into the system, the Kung Fu will become diluted over time. It is in this way that a true and effective martial arts system can be washed away and lost forever. The quality of Wing Chun taught at Jupiter Wing Chun by Sifu James is very high due to the fact that he keeps the system unchanged and teaches it just as it was taught to him by his Sifu, Grandmaster Moy Yee Hop (Julian Cordero). Grandmaster Moy Yee Hop is a direct disciple of the late Great Grandmaster Moy Yat, who taught the system as it was taught to him by Yip Man. It is in this manner that Wing Chun can withstand the test of time...Tradition keeps us strong!

Jupiter Wing Chun is a direct lineage of the Moy Yat Wing Chun Kung Fu family

Ng Mui and Yim Wing Chun

The earliest known mentions of Wing Chun date to the period of Red Boat Opera.The common legend as told by Yip Man involves the young woman Yim Wing-Chun, during the period after the destruction by the Qing government of the Southern Shaolin temples.
Having rebuffed the local warlord’s marriage offer, Yim Wing-Chun said she’d reconsider the proposal if he could beat her in a fight. She soon crossed paths with a Buddhist nun named Ng Mui, who was one of the Shaolin Sect survivors, and asked the nun to teach her to fight. According to legend Ng Mui taught Yim Wing-Chun a new system of martial art that had been inspired by the nun’s observations of a confrontation between a Snake and a Crane.This then-still nameless style enabled Yim Wing-Chun to beat the warlord in a one-on-one fight. Yim Wing-Chun thereafter married Leung Bac-Chou and taught him the style, which was later named after her.
It is believed that because the system was developed during the Shaolin and Ming resistance to the Qing Dynasty, many legends, were spread regarding the creation of Wing Chun in order to confuse enemies. This is often given as a reason to explain the difficulty in accurately determining the creator or creators of Wing Chun.

Great Grand Master Yip Man

October 1, 1893 – December 2nd, 1972

Yip Man was one of the first martial arts instructors, or Sifu, to teach the Chinese martial art of Wing Chun Kung Fu publicly. He went on to become one of the most respected martial arts masters of his time. Yip Man lived most of his early life in Foshan China, but was forced to move to Hong Kong in 1949 due to war in China. He had many famous students and his style of Wing Chun has spread to millions of students across the globe.

Great Grand Master Moy Yat

June 28, 1938 - January 23, 2001

Grand Master Moy Yat was a Chinese Martial Artist, painter, teacher and author. He was a student of the legendary Wing Chun Kung Fu teacher Yip Man from 1957 until Yip Man's death in 1972. He began teaching in Hong Kong in 1962 under the direction of his Sifu, Yip Man. After Yip Man's death, Moy Yat moved to New York City and began teaching there until he retired from teaching at the age of 60. According to Inside Kung Fu Magazine, he was "....considered among the greatest martial arts teachers of all time."

Grand Master Moy Yee Hop

Senior Instructor at Palm Beach Wing Chun Lake Worth, FL

Sifu Julian (As he likes to be called) studied Wing Chun Kung Fu with Master Moy Yat in Brooklyn and China Town New York. He is one of the first senior students (First Generation in America) of Moy Yat. Our Sigung, during his discipleship, traveled with Moy Yat as his official translator and close companion. While traveling,he translated the Muk Yan Jong Book into Spanish. Sifu Moy Yee Hop then became the first non-Chinese individual authorized by Moy Yat to teach this system in the United States, thereby opening his first school in White Plains, New York in 1976. This Lineage gives Sifu a great understanding of Wing Chun in its purest form, and a desire to spread the knowledge to students with real interest in Chinese martial arts and a kung fu way of life. He has taught for over 40 years, and has been teaching in the South Florida region for more than 10.

Powerful Kung Fu in a positive atmosphere! I had been searching a long time for a good Kung Fu school and I sure found it! Until recently, there wasn't even any Kung Fu to be found anywhere north of West Palm Beach. I love the authentic Wing Chun that is taught here at the Jupiter location. Sifu James is a great teacher. He's very patient and knows just how to work with each student at their growth level and pace. I'm proud to be a member of the Jupiter family at Palm Beach Wing Chun! Thank you Sifu!

"I was very excited when I found out there was a Wing Chun Kung Fu school that teaches Wing Chun the most authentic traditional way. Everyone at the school welcomed me with respect and with a family oriented way. I am very pleased to be a disciple of Sifu Julian Cordero and Sihing James and very much enjoying practice with all of my Kung Fu brothers."

I joined the school a month ago. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Jupiter Wing Chun and Sifu James have already helped me with confidence and learning to defend myself. Also the "family" that I train with is very supportive, patient and helpful in my advancement. It isn't easy but it's definitely worth it and this school is very authentic and true to the original form. Wing Chun is improving aspects of my life I never thought possible!! Thanks guys!! If you're thinking of enrolling I would highly recommend the Jupiter school of Wing Chun.
