Scratch Wing Chun and you will find some White Crane underneath.

This documentary speculates that White Crane was also the root that grew Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate by way of Fujian master Ryu Ryu Ko.

Check out the various ways they train the wrist and the grip in these schools. This is a good practice for strikers.

I love these docs when they show some old guy in his 60s doing a workout that leaves the young visitor in the dust.

You will see many techniques in White Crane that are echoed in Wing Chun.

They say the styles of the “Five Elders” (including White Crane) were the roots of Tai Chi and Wing Chun.

I hope these styles find young practitioners to take them up and preserve the knowledge.
