Lineage

Ip Man, also known as Yip Man, (Chinese: 葉問; 1 October 1893 – 2 December 1972), was a Chinese martial artist of Cantonese ethnicity, and a master teacher of Wing Chun. He had several students who later became martial arts masters in their own right. His most famous student was Bruce Lee.

Grand Master William Cheung

Grandmaster William Cheung has been called the Masters’ Master; he was considered by Bruce Lee to be the “ultimate fighter”: William Cheuk Hing Cheung was the sole inheritor of the Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu system, and was the person responsible for introducing Bruce Lee to Wing Chun Kung Fu. Grandmaster William Cheung, teacher and mentor to the late Bruce Lee in Hong Kong in the 1950s, has been teaching Wing Chun Kung Fu for 50 years. He has appeared on over 40 magazine covers worldwide, and has been awarded the Black Belt, Inside Kung Fu and Blitz Hall of Fame Awards. He was Chief Instructor for the US 7th Fleet in Yokosuka, Japan, and in 2012 was awarded the Distinguished Law Enforcement Community Impact and Life Achievement Award by Chapter 38 of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association in Delaware, USA. His sons, Masters Andrew and James Cheung, are resident Instructors at Melbourne HQ and conduct Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu seminars throughout Australia and worldwide.
