Ving Tsun Kung Fu (Wing Chun) was named after it’s founder, Yim Ving Tsun, who was born in a small town in central China. She studied Kung Fu with a nun. Ng Mui, who was one of the top martial artists of that time. Ving Tsun proceeded to revise and refine what she had learned until finally she had a distillation that was amazingly economical as well as extremely effective. She taught the system to her husband, Leung Pok-Toa, who was an actor. Together they taught Ving Tsun to a carefully chosen few whole they were traveling throughout China with his show. When they stopped at Fut Shan they taught it to a doctor, Leung Chun, who later passed it on to Chan Wah-Shuen, who was Yip Man’s Sifu. GREAT GRANDMASTER YIP MAN Yip Man (Yip Kai-Man) was born in the town of Fut Shan in southern China. Because his parents were wealthy, he was fortunate enough to study Ving Tsun Kung Fu under the tutelage of the venerable Chan Wah-Shuen (Nicknamed Jow Chin Wah). Yip Man headed the Ving Tsun Kung Fu system for over two decades, from 1949 until his death in 1972. GRANDMASTER MOY YAT Moy Yat (Moy Yit-Kai) was born in Toi Shan, in the province of Canton. In 1953, his family moved to Hong Kong where he had the good fortune to study Ving Tsun Kung Fu under Yip Man. At twenty-four, Moy Yat became the youngest Ving Tsun sifu. He headed the Moy Yat Ving Tsun Kung Fu system for over two decades, from 1972 until his death in 2001. GRANDMASTER MOY 29 Sifu Moy 29, Grandmaster Moy Yat's 29th disciple, began his study of the Ving Tsun system in 1975 at Grand Master Moy Yat’s first U.S. school, Ding Leg Yard. He continues with the Ving Tsun that Grandmaster Moy Yat transmitted all those years ago and continues to teach Moy Yat Ving Tsun Kung Fu, producing a great many Sifus in accordance with Grandmaster Moy Yat's traditional teachings. SIFU JACK Sifu Jack began his study of martial arts in Asia in 1985 and had the good fortune of meeting Grandmaster Moy 29 in 2004. He thankfully continues with the Ving Tsun transmitted to him, gratefully passing it on to students in Mississippi just as it was transmitted to him by Grandmaster Moy 29.
