I am Yim Wing Chun
It's difficult when your a pretty female. You can't defend yourself from the rough men that think they can have anything just because they are stronger. Such men constantly perused me and I had to use every trick I knew to escape them. One day I thought I was trapped when a Buddhist nun came to my rescue. She fought with such skill and speed, I had never seen such movements and was completely astonished.
We became good friends from that day onwards. It came to pass that once again a man perused me and insisted on marriage. I didn't know how to escape this situation, so I visited my Buddhist friend. She suggested I agree to the wedding only if I were to loose to him in a martial arts match. This is madness I said to her, how can I possibly beat such a strong man?
Have faith she said, "I will teach you".
I must admit I had my doubts that I stood a chance, but I agreed nevertheless.
When I offered the challenge the man could not stop laughing. Give me a month to prepare I said. He agreed, and announced to the whole town the challenge I had made.
The nun trained me hard over the next four weeks. We practiced a strange game where we began with contact at each others wrist, and using the sensitivity I learned to release non-threatening force, deflect threatening force and follow retreating force. In this way I realized it didn't matter if my opponent was stronger than I was. I could use his strength against him if I didn't resist.
