Wing Chun is the martial art that Bruce Lee studied. It is a close in system that is very effective. It is the one that is likely to have been the origins of the term "Chinese Boxing" because of how similar it looked to the Englishmen.
Wing Chun is introduced very well in this article by Grand Master Chu Shong Tin

however if you do not want to read the two articles then here is something about it.
Wing Chun does not use brute strength or depend on it in any way so there is no need to do weights. also it can generate incredible force at a very close range. it also attacks and defends at the same time. there are 3 levels.
the beginner uses one hand to defend and one hand to attack at the same time.
the intermediate uses one hand to defend and one hand to attack at the same time but the hand that deflects upsets the opponent's balance as well just by touching him(this can take a whole article to explain but in short words its done by relaxing your body).
the advanced uses one hand to defend and attack at the same time. also his hand upsets his opponent's hand upon impact.
this is a video about force demonstration in Wing Chun.

Is wing chun effective?
Not sure if its the most effective, but its one of the most effective. There are some other highly effective forms of martial arts, like Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Wing Chun works at all ranges, excelling at close range, so you dont have to worry about what happens when your apponent gets close enough to punch, grab, etc. Wing chun has the most effective blocking techinques, and try ( usually secedes ) at moving in to get at 'trapping' range (close range), always attacking when the opponent is not. So if one uses the techniques properly and beneficently, then it truly will be the most effective marital art.

How dangerous is Wing Chun compared to other styles or systems?
All martial arts styles have dangerous movements, and very deadly techniques. Wing Chun, like many styles teach and targeted vital organs while training. The heart, eyes, throat, spine, neck, and groin are commonly attacked. All organs & nerves have targeting potential. Specific exercises condition and strengthen strikes for certain hand positions Chi-Na & Acupoints are only taught to advanced students who complete the system. Nie-gung or Hie-kung are internal power development forms used to develope the power needed to perform dim mak, dim hsueh, and dim ching. Fa-jing is also taught as in Tai Chi. This makes many basic Wing Chun techniques deadly when performed at advanced levels. Even though other styles do use these theories, they are slightly different according to systems. The dangers of acupoint striking are well known in the martial arts world and exist in the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu. This does not mean it's the best martial art in the world, but it does mean it is the best art for me.
