Wing Chun is actually based on the thought that the opponent will strike, that you then absorb and retaliate.The complete philosophy of Wing Chun requires a long time to completely understand, and years of practice to master.

Simply by using a praying mantis that he captured, Wang studied the actions of the praying mantis. By means of mimicking the moves that he saw, he developed and founded the Praying Mantis style of Kung Fu. Wang practiced and perfected his very own martial art style by observing both offensive as well as defensive actions of the praying mantis. Praying Mantis kung fu is just as lethal as it is legendary and can be observed in many Chinese Kung Fu movies.
