When learning anything, it is very important to consider from whom you will be learning. Before drinking water, it is best to consider the source Please click on the icons below for details of the lineages from which I continue to study. Zhan Zhuang & Tai Chi Wing Chun

Master Lam encouraged me to teach so that I could use what I have learned to help others. I strive to do just that. Return to the menu

Wing Chun Kung Fu Great Grand Master Ip Man First to teach Wing Chun publicly. Famous as the teacher of Bruce Lee. Grand Master Ip Chun Grand Master Ip Ching Ip Man's eldest son. Like his father, of slight build. Renowned for his skill at chi sau. Ip Man's second son. Being taller and heavier than his father grants him a different perspective on Wing Chun. Master Samuel Kwok First to bring the sons of Ip Man to the west. One of very few to be a disciple of both. Arranged many exchange meetings with schools in China and Hong Kong (for wing chun and other styles). Very active teacher world-wide. Sifu Steven Williams There have been many arguments over what is the 'real' Ip Man Wing Chun. I don't claim to have the answers but rather to keep asking the questions. Master Kwok has set the example by his continued research. For Wing Chun to grow, I believe we must keep asking questions and finding new answers. Return to the menu
