Wing Chun Research

Reflecting on Wing Chun Research:

While at home, contemplating my future, I decided to reflect back over the last 14 years of Wing Chun.

Jee Shin Wing Chun temporarily closed its doors on Sunday March 22^nd 2020, due to the Pandemic.

Sigong Linda and I wanted to keep our Students safe and free from disease.

Wing Chun in China:

In 2006, I decided to start a “Roots of Wing Chun” China Tour.

I wanted to research my Wing Chun Lineage.

Many critics around the World stated that my lineage did not exist.

My lineage come from the Leung Bik Yip Man Wing Chun System.

People were saying that Leung Bik never existed.

My Sifus were William Cheung and David Cheung.

In 2020, my wife and I had travelled to China and Hong Kong 10 times.

Traveling to China would change our outlook on Wing Chun forever.

Categorical evidence about Leung Bik’s existence I found during my travels around China.

Dr. Leung Zhan Wing Chun Manuscripts:

Leung Zhan passed these manuscripts to his Son Leung Bik.

His Son, Leung Bik passed them down to Yip Man after teaching Yip Man for 3 years.

These manuscripts are in the Yip Man Museum in Foshan.

Foshan Museum:

There are newspaper extracts on the lives and exploits of Leung Zhan and Leung Bik.

Kwok Zhan, the Son of Kwok Fu whom was Yip Man’s second Student told me.

Yip Chun’s school in Hong Kong:

Yip Chun is the son of Yip Man.

While there in 2010, in conversation, he quoted “My Father had 1 Sifu and 2 Teachers”.

Their names were; Chan Wah Shun, Ng So and Leung Bik.

Lo Man Kam in Taiwan 2015:

At Lo Man Kam’s school in Taipei, he spoke about Leung Bik teaching his Uncle, Yip Man.

Yip Man’s House:

In 2018, we visited Yip Man’s original house in Foshan.

The walls show time lines of Yip Man’s life.

They include the period in Hong Kong when Leung Bik taught Yip Man.

Photos also depict the existence of Leung Bik with commentaries on Leung Zhan and Leung Bik.

I am now convinced that my Lineage is true and correct.

Yip Man taught William Cheung this unique Wing Chun System.

I have proven that all William Cheung’s stories about his lineage and life are true.

Many people in the wing chun world tried to prove William Cheung was a liar.

Pien Sun Wing Chun:

My most rewarding experience traveling around China was meeting GM Fung Chun.

My wife and I met him while visiting Leung Zhan’s school in Kulao Village.

We would visit Fung Chun yearly until his demise in 2012.

In 2007, we decided to learn his wing chun system from his Son, Fung Keun.

Learning Pien Sun gave Linda and I both lineages from Dr. Leung Zhan.

Leung Zhan was known as the “KING OF WING CHUN”
