Issue 41: April 2018

Issue 41 of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Stephen Chan on the cover. Sifu Chan started teaching Wing Chun in a London church hall for three British pounds per night. Over forty years later, he is back in Hong Kong keeping the Kung Fu tradition alive in his native land, both by teaching and by stunt acting in Hong Kong films. A so-called “neotraditionalist,” Sifu Chan combines modernity with tradition, using new techniques from streetfighting and other martial arts alongside original teachings from his lineage under Grandmaster Chow Tze Chuen. Sifu Chan recognises that although different Wing Chun lineages may have different interpretations, the core principles are truly the same.
