Wing Chun (), also romanised as Ving Tsun or Wing Tsun, (and sometimes substituted with the characters 永春 “eternal springtime”); is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilising both striking and grappling while specialising close-range combat. The alternative characters 永春 “eternal spring” are also associated with some other southern Chinese martial arts, including Weng Chun Kung Fu and Yong Chun .
