Wing Chun: For the Shaolin, Wing Chun represents something close to a secular ideal. Not everybody can be a monk or priest, but everyone should live a life of duty, order, discipline, honor and respect for tradition: the very values around which most Wing Chun schools are organized. Wing Chun’s ally Kuntao is seen as less disciplined and polished, but as sharing the same basic values. Hung Gar’s rejection of all non-Kung Fu authority is too radical for the Shaolin, who think Hung Gar hot-headed and intemperate. Still, Hung Gar’s close Shaolin roots and tireless fighting in the Kung Fu War make the monks fond of it. Jeet Kune Do rejects the Shaolin for their imprisonment of Bruce Lee. This hurts the monks’ feelings, but they forgive Jeet Kune Do and want them to return to the fold. | Wing Chun: For the Shaolin, Wing Chun represents something close to a secular ideal.
