Ip Man Tong

[Armin]

Hi!

Recently I visited the Homepage of the Ip Man Tong - "a museum dedicated to Ip Man". Corator: "Leung T." - is that Leung Ting?


Thanks,

Armin.

Armin,

if you send the link, I will look at it to see if that is him.
Most likely it is.

Hi sauchi,

here's the link:

Ving Tsun Athletic Association (http://www.vingtsun.com.hk/Sammuel%20Kwok.htm)

And here's a quote:
---
"On the day before the demonstration, Sifu Ip Ching and Sifu Samuel Kwok had a meeting with Chairman Leung, to discuss the matter of the Ip Man Tong. At first the committee said, “it would be at least 18 months before they could decide on a date, due to other projects they have to organise”. Sifu Ip Ching then suggested they could organise a temporary site for the Ip Man Tong until they have a decided on a permanent site, they said, “they would take the matter under consideration”."

I didn't see too many photos, so it was difficult to find an answer to your question. However, on that same web site...

Hey Armin,

Thank you for sending the link.
From reading the text, I believe that it isn't Leung Ting since he resides in HK and doesn't live in Fut San.

So Chairman Leung is most likely a different person than who we thought it might be, because as far as I know I don't think that Leung Ting of Ving Tsun has anything to do with running the Ching Wu School in China.

The grandmaster has been establishing schools on the mainland for some time now although I don't believe the chairman mentioned is him.
Hope things are going well for you in your practice.
