Issue 89: April 2026

Issue 89 of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Choi Yan Shing. Caught between preservation and modernisation, Wing Chun faces critical questions. Sifu Choi (Bruce Cai) offers a nuanced perspective shaped by training under Grandmaster Wan Kam Leung, and extensive cross-training beyond the system. He discusses the dangers of both Wing Chun “supremacy” and Wing Chun “uselessness”, clarifying the art’s true positioning as a close-range self-defence method. From power generation to technical logic, he explains how Lok Hup Wing Chun developed through disciplined study rather than reactionary change.
