Today Wing Chun has regained its fame and popularity after the advent of the Yip Man movies, Donnie Yen's role as the grandmaster have caused a huge resurgence of interest in the art, however with the increased interest have come a multitude of fakes and wannabes.
People who have no understanding or even interest in the art but only want to propagate themselves and their organisations, let alone the ego.
It takes years possibly decades to fully appreciate and understand the system, which is complicated and sophisticated.
People say it's a simple and direct martial art but nothing could be further from the truth.
As with any complicated and technically exact martial art, it takes a long time, commitment and dedication for many years to attain any real level of achievement, understanding and skill.
In addition and most importantly without a true expert guide it's simply an art that's impossible to learn. Only a handful of genuine Hong Kong Chinese have the requisite knowledge and understanding to truly pass on the system as it was.
At 108 Wing Chun we are highly fortunate enough to have the legacy and heritage of Yip Man Kung Fu through Sifu Joseph Lee - Lee Shing Wing Chun.
