Dedication

The On-Line Wing Chun Encyclopedia is dedicated to the memory of our Ancestors. Their hard work and dedication, has made it possible for the Wing Chun Family to thrive.  The names are too many to list here, but we are grateful none-the-less.

We would also like the thank Brian Scanlon, who is the main author/editor/compiler for the bulk of this material.  This section of the site would not exist without him.
 

We want to know what you know!

This project is just too big for one person and is intended to be a community project. We need your help and contributions to make this Encyclopedia work! The articles and comments are moderated in this area to prevent SPAM as well as political in-fighting/flaming/etc. However, anyone can edit articles and contribute to the site. Just make sure you are registered and logged on, then click either the edit tab up top, or add a comment at the bottom of the page and share your knowledge! Just make sure you reference and source all of your contributions (We try out best to keep the hearsay out!) and put them in a good publishable format.
