Kung fu master found guilty of beating girlfriend

Renowned kung fu master Leung Ting was sentenced yesterday to two months in jail for attacking his girlfriend.

Kowloon City deputy magistrate Ko Wai-hung released Leung, 62, on HK$50,000 bail pending appeal. Following the sentencing, Leung's former girlfriend and victim Rita Lip Sik-ying, who described the assault as "disgraceful," said she would not have called police if she had not been beaten so severely.

Speaking to Sing Tao Daily, sister paper of The Standard, Lip, 45, described Leung as a womanizer who had many girlfriends.

Nevertheless, she saw him as an attractive man ever since meeting him through a friend about five years ago.

"He is a kung fu master but is also knowledgeable about everything," said Lip, adding she has not been in touch with Leung since the March assault. "I have mixed feelings about the sentence, considering we had been together for a few years."

After hearing Ko's guilty verdict, Leung stood up twice in the dock and shouted that the court did not have the facts and a full picture of the incident.

Leung, the WingTsun founder, had denied one count of assault causing actual bodily harm.

In his ruling, Ko admitted the case involved a "one-against-one situation, with no independent witness."

But he said Lip was honest and did not exaggerate her case against Leung.

Neither did Ko believe Leung beat Lip out of self-defense. He said being found guilty would seriously hurt Leung's career.

Lip testified that Leung banged her head against the floor, kicked her in the stomach and boxed her ears during a dispute concerning one of his former wives.

But Leung, in refuting the claims, said Lip became upset when he did not give her the HK$50,000 she wanted for an abortion to be performed in Singapore.

Leung said Lip became hysterical and tried to jump from a window, and that he tried to save her by grabbing her arm and neck.

He also claimed Lip began hitting her head on the floor and banged on his neighbors' doors, shouting: "Leung Ting is hitting a woman."

A medical report on Lip indicated tenderness to her neck, redness to her face, bleeding to the eyes, and bruises.

Martial artists that do this are the height of pompous ass-hattery.


Always good for a laugh and definitely an indicator of where the door is.

Kung Fu master jailed for beating mistress

HONG KONG - Kung Fu master Leung Ting, the last student of martial arts sifu Ip Man, has been sentenced to two months' jail for assaulting his girlfriend.

Leung, the 62-year-old junior apprentice of international kungfu star Bruce Lee, is the founder of the International WingTsun Association.

He was charged with attacking his girlfriend, who was then three months' pregnant, by dragging her on the ground, pulling her hair and kicking her stomach at his home in Hong Kong on March 30.

The couple had entered a heated argument after the girlfriend, 45, was believed to have offended Leung's ex-wife.

Hong Kong's Sing Tao Daily reported that the court had found Leung guilty and sentenced him to two months' jail on Thursday.

After the judgement was read out, Leung raised his hands and shouted ?objection?. He even blurted out the word "bull****" at the judge.

He was released on HK$5,000 (S$903) bail with HK$50,000 (S$9,030) sureties pending his appeal against the judgement.

He has a criminal record for fighting in public areas and was fined HK$500 (S$93) some 18 years ago.

Leung had started practising WingTsun at the age of 13 but was trained by Ip Man when he turned 18.

He started teaching martial arts in foreign countries in the 1980s.

Today, Leung has established his martial arts centres in more than 60 countries with thousands of students worldwide.

May 8, 2009

After accusations of Wing Chun master Leung Ting injuring his girlfriend came to light, the reluctant “leading actress” in this drama Miss Nie (Miss Lip) yesterday gave an interview to reporters by telephone. Refuting talk that Leung Ting "did not hit anyone", she recalled being pressed to the ground, hair pulled and head hitting the ground more than 10 times, resulting in serious injuries to the head and face. Nie said: "I have evidence to prove that I was severely beaten and injured by someone"

Reporter: Liao Yun Si

Wing Chun Master Leung Ting (left) yesterday returned to the Mainland on business, taking a temporary leave of absence from troubled lands.

That night, the two argued over emotional problems. Miss Nie claiming to have been pressed to the ground, hair pulled and head smashed against the ground over 10 times. "Both my eyes have burst blood vessels, my right eye injured to such an extent that it cannot be opened, bruising on the forehead, legs and abdominal pain." She pointed out that how can such injuries be caused by what Leung Ting calls "a fall". She excitedly said: "I used a camera to record the injuries, I’ll use this as evidence when I go to court".

Nie said that she is still worried that her the brain trauma will lead to latter complications, "Sometimes my eyesight will go fuzzy, and my temper [excerpt ends here]

Sometimes Wayne Brady Gotta smack a hoe and apparently so does Leung Ting

[SPJ]

if he did beat up or assault the girl or anyone else, he deserved the jail term.

as for girl friend having the baby at late age

chance of miscarriage is high. risky for both fetus and mom, seek medical help

--

do they think of a name, if it is a boy or a girl

he or she may carry on his name one day

--

domestic disputes should remain domestic

the public or a clean judge do not have a say in them

unless of course, some abuses occur.
