Yip Man is a legendary figure, considered to be the Grandmaster of modern Wing Chun. Originally taught by Chan Wa Soon and latterly by Leung Bik (son of Leung Jan). Yip Man learnt both the hard and soft elements of Wing Chun from Chan Wa Soon and Leung Bik respectively. Yip Man began teaching in Kowloon, Hong Kong in order to make a living after he left China. Why not take a look at the official website of a movie about the life of the late Grandmaster?

Ho Kam Ming was one of the few men to complete the entire system of Wing Chun under Yip Man.  Ho Kam Ming was held in high regard by Yip Man and Yip Man revealed many of the finer points of Wing Chun to him.  Yip Man also appointed Ho Kam Ming to assume the responsibility of instructing his private students.  His full contact Wing Chun team has fought in martial arts tournaments throughout Southeast Asia and has achieved considerable recognition.  

Augustine Fong began his training under Ho Kam Ming in 1960. Sifu Fong was regarded as Master Ho's best student and toughest fighter and in 1969 moved to Arizona, USA.  Master Fong currently operates his own federation headquarters in Tucson, Arizona where he founded his own Wing Chun Academy and established the headquarters for "Fong's Wing Chun Gung-Fu Federation"  

David Bennett began studying Martial Arts in 1986. Having heard of the effectiveness of Wing Chun, Sifu Bennett began training in the art in 2000. This was a turning point in Sifu Bennett's life and since then has been dedicated to the art of Wing Chun. Sifu Bennett began his training under Master Augustine Fong (Fong Chi Wing) in 2006 and in 2008 was deemed competent by Master Fong to instruct in Fong's Wing Chun Gung Fu system. Sifu Bennett regularly attends Fong's Wing Chun Gung Fu Federation in Tucson, Arizona to update his material and develop his skill in Fong's Wing Chun Gung Fu system. Sifu Bennett currently teaches in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, England.
