Here are some FACTS that I have learned so far.
-What I know so far is that Lo Man Kam is one of the first 3 students of Yip man and the only one living now.
-He started training 10 years before Yip man's sons
-He was an assistant instructor under Yip man and also taught Bruce Lee when he came to Yip man in the mid 1950s.
-He has been training various governemt military forces around the world.
-He has not stopped training since he was sent to Taiwan by Yip man to continue Wing Chun in Taiwan.
Is this LIVING MASTER of Wing Chun not known outside of asia?
He is well known in Wing Chun circles. Not everyone from every lineage posts, but we have quite the spread:
Gu Lao
Moy Yat
Leung Ting
Emin Bozetepe
Wong Shun Leung
William Cheung
Garrett Gee
Augustine Fong
Etc...
(If I've missed anyone - SORRY!!!)
So, welcome to the forum. The more the merrier (not always the case, but it IS wishful thinking with all the politics!) Contribute what you can as I can see that you have a lot of time and effort dedicated to your family's Wing Chun!
All the best,
