But before the the principles of this new art could be put into practice the Temple was raided by the emperor of china and killed many monks of the Temple. But among all the monks have being killed, the one who succeeded to escape was the nun named NG Mui, she was the eldest and most talented in boxing skills. With the help of some documentation written by the Monks who had killed by the Emperor, and her own obtained knowledge, she (NG MUI) trained a young girl named Yim Wing Chun. The system was later named after her and she is said to have used it to successfully repel an unwanted suitor. Yim Wing Chun was married with Leung Bok Cho and shared her knowledge of wing chun kung fu.
