Modern Nuns and Modern Monks: WING CHUN TEMPLE is the New Testament,
which stresses more on the inward instead of
An ordinary life but living as an extraordinary outward appearance.

The bottom line is that Wing Chun Kung Fu is
Life as the Modern Nuns and Monks are all a very adaptive martial arts, which is a way of
about bringing positive outcomes to oursel- life, and our survival is based on adaptation

the fittest, and Wing Chun is just THAT.
We are thriving to live a life as Modern Nuns
and Modern Monks for our modern day in ac-
cordance to WING CHUN TEMPLE’s philo-
sophy, mission and vision, which contrasts to
traditional monks, who are usually males only

losophical and spiritual aspect of Buddhism
are in our hearts, which is what matter most
in our modern day. For instance, Shaolin Tem-
ple is like the Old Testament in the Bible, and
