About Sifu James Cheung
Certified Ving Tsun Training Instructor of VTAA
Certified 1st generation disciple of WSL
Life member of VTAA
Life member of WSL Students Association
B sc CUHK
Sifu James Cheung is the 1st generation disciple of late Master Wong Shun Leung, who was the direct disciple of Grandmaster Ip Man. Sifu James is thus the 2nd generation disciple of Grandmaster Ip Man. Sifu James started to learn Ving Tsun from Master Wong in mid 1970s. After the passing away of Master Wong, Sifu James has pursuited some further training from his Sihing Master Ng Chun Hong and Master Chan Kim Man in order to polish his Ving Tsun even better.
It is Sifu James's ambition to set up his Ving Tsun facility here in UK to pass on to his students the skills and techniques he has acquired from his many years of study and practice of Ving Tsun kung fu.
Ip Man - Wong Shun Leung lineage
Sifu James became interested in martial arts when he was a junior secondary school student, initially learning Judo before changing to Gojukai Karate because he found the style more interesting and practical. In mid 1970's,, a friend of Sifu James, who was a black belt in Korean Hapkido, recommended Sifu James to learn Ving Tsun from late Master Wong Shun Leung. Sifu James had committed to learn for some years and had made expeditious achievement. After the passing away of Master Wong, Sifu James also pursued some further training from Master Ng Chun Hong and Master Chan Kim Man in later days to further polish his techniques and skills.
