Yip Kin Wing Chun is really holistic for both body and mind, and also incredibly FUN AS WELL!</div>

Yip Kin Wing Chun is a TOTAL ARTFORM, it provides me means to manifest myself: mind body and soul as one.</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I find the class very unique because this Chinese martial art (Yip Kin Wing Chun) is taught by a Malay Instructor (with 18 years of Wing Chun Background Mr. Kahar is really somebody), which actually open up many aspects for example: the class is in English so we can see many students who are from other races, and it make the art's explanation much easier.</div>
<div>
In short, I enjoy this class very much, its atmosphere friendly and always interesting. So I encourage everyone to drop by for a class for a trial class :-)</div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium;">I find that Wing Chun displays a sort of practicality that is often missing from other martial arts. The practical use of the techniques are equally important as the theory taught. Through this, the techniques learned from Wing Chun can be applied properly, that is if the need arises, in real life. Besides that, Wing Chun's theories and principles are supported by logic. For example, when I apply the principle of the center line, I manage to reach the target quickly as the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.</span></div>

<div>
Sifu Yip Fook Choy and Kahar Saidun have an answer to every type of attack and are passionate to see their student improve their skills. These are the ideal attributes to look for in a kung fu school. I've been to quite a few kungfu schools worldwide from the Leung Ting and Wong Shun Leung lineages in Germany and in the UK. But Yip Kin Wing CHun is unique by far and possess an unparalleled depth with respect to the training of the specialized energies required for Wing Chun fighting.</div>

Kahar has been practicing Yip Kin Wing Chun since 1991 with various experiences in other Wing Chun between the years 1998 to 2000. He has the curiosity of a scientist, the playfulness of an experimenter, the wide-eyed wonder of a child and the single-minded determination and ferocity of a warrior. He is considered a purist with a strong and unwavering passion towards Wing Chun Kuen, Yip Kin's in particular.<br />
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
This is evident in his classes where he imparts knowledge through classes that are fun and interactive while fostering a strong bond between students. Quality is stressed in an open and friendly but firm manner.<br />
<br />
He was featured several times in various newspapers such as The Star, Harian Metro, Shin Chew Jit Poh, Nanyang Siang Pau (among others) and major Television channels in Malaysia such as TV1, TV2, TV3, Astro Awani and TVi. He was also featured once in History Channel.<br />
<br />
In 2015 he was certified by The Late Grandmaster Yip Fook Choy as a Master Instructor carrying the title "Sifu".<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Core Forms</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white;"><b style="background-color: white;">Empty Hand</b></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">1. Small Flower Fist (小花拳)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">This is the first form of the Yip Kin Wing Choon system and it introduces the practitioner to the basic hand, body and footwork movements and positions. It also contains the road map on how to practice the other forms to achieve the best results. It can be broken into 7 sections, each focusing on a specific footwork, body positions, structure and energy. The techniques are put into "points" so the practitioner can focus him/herself on the essentials of the Yip Kin Wing Choon system. </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">2. Big Flower Fist (大花拳)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">This second form simplifies the movements of the first form and adds new combination/techniques to the practitioner. It is also a power form where you build your strength and stamina to cope with the stresses and needs of a fight situation. It also teaches you to fight from impossible/odd positions such on the ground and in twisted positions. </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">3. Wooden Dummy (木人樁)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Practical applications, positioning in relation to an enemy, power application and footwork in relation to a person is taught here. You will also learn how your structure corresponds to an opponent in a particular situation. It requires both soft and hard energy to be able to get your self around the dummy.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The dummy only has 2 arms that is pointed to the practitioner's centre (throat and belly button) and a leg.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">4. Sticky Hand Form (黐手)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The sticky hand form provides a bridge between the empty hand forms and free fighting. Techniques are applied to a partner in a sequence which resembles two person fighting with the hands in almost constant contact. Students learn to attack and defend according to Wing Choon principles in a safe environment with a partner. However, unlike the empty hand forms, the movements are not executed by the practitioner but based on input by his/her partner.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">At advanced levels, the attacker has the choice to follow the form or change the sequence by changing the energy he/she applies into the attack. His/Her partner must interpret the energy he/she receives and acts accordingly using the proper principle and/or techniques that will best correspond with the attack using minimal movement and energy.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Later, this will flow into a free flow fighting technique by both practitioners.</span></span> <br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<b><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Weapons</span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">1. Plum Blossom Staff (</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial unicode ms";">楊</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">梅</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">棒</span></span><span style="background-color: white;">)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The basic weapon and what practitioners of Yip Kin Wing Choon believed to be the TRUE Wing Choon weapon. The pole is held with both palms pointing away from the practitioner. ALL the the Wing Choon principles can be applied using this weapon and all the movements are almost exactly like empty hand techniques learnt in the first and second forms. Using this pole, practitioners also learns to apply Lien Siu Tai Ta (linking offense into defense) and footwork for their empty hand techniques.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">2. Six and a Half Point Pole (</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">六</span></span><span style="background-color: white;">點</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">半</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">棍</span></span><span style="background-color: white;">)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">This is a unique pole form which has six and a half techniques combined and repeated over six and half directions together with its variations according to usage and needs. </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">3. Partnered Plum Blossom Staff (楊梅棒對拆)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">This is a partner form learnt after the practitioner has finished learning the Six and a Half Point pole. It's objective is to teach the applications of the Plum Blossom Staff together with introducing the practitioner to stick fighting and fighting using a medium range weapon. </span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">4. Partnered Six and a Half Point Pole (六點半棍對拆)</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">This partner form is learnt after the practitioner has finished learning the Yin Yang Ba Gua Pole. Its objective is to introduce the practitioner to using the Six and a Half Point pole in a combat situation, fight using a long weapon and to sticking pole (Chi Kuan) exercises. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Stances and Footwork</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">There are 4 different types of footwork from sets done on 5 basic stances. All the stances are interchangeable with each other with only at maximum one or less movement in between.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Qigong</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Consist of 6 static postures which a practitioner must hold for a period of time. Its objective other than for health is to develop Qi for use in combat.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">7 hands</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">These are separate techniques like those in 40 point Wing Chun and the San Sik of Yuen Kay Shan Wing Chun. Other than teaching a specific technique, they also teach the basic principles used in Yip Kin Wing Choon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">8 legs</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Taken from the 3 empty and forms and 1 wooden dummy form, it is a way to practice the kicks separately for practical use in fighting.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">(Click <b><a href="http://yipkinwingchun.blogspot.com/2012/10/hi-all-welcome-to-official-yip-kin-wing.html">here</a></b> to return to sitemap)</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Yip Kin Wing Choon Kuen's training system is a traditional model. During the Basic Training stage, the basics required for application of Wing Choon techniques are drilled into the student, imparting the skills required for proper execution of the forms.<br /><br />Thereafter, from the first form Sai Fa Kuen (Small Flower Fist), until the last, the training methodology becomes iterative. Each and every form contains the entire system. Thus the first form is akin to a "executive summary" of the entire Yip Kin Wing Choon Kuen system. It starts with simple techniques executed with fairly large movements to make it easier for the student to practice while developing the correct principles. Subsequent forms modify the same movements, blending and/or simplifying them, whilst adding more complex movements and applications. These extend also to every weapon form in the system, which use the exact same energy and movement as the empty hand forms. The student is taught the same movements in increasing levels of complexity throughout the course. The different weapons, while using the same movements as the empty hand forms, also each has a different focus and seeks to impart some new, essential skill or energy into the student. Sometimes these changes are felt immediately, for example, a student may do chi sao exercise, do a weapon form, and if he does chi sao after with the same partner he had before, the difference in feel will become immediately and overwhelmingly apparent.<br /><br />Besides adding advanced techniques, subsequent forms in the system also provide feedback on the student's abilities or development during the earlier forms. For example, if the student's footwork is even slightly in error for some reason or another in an earlier form, the more advanced forms will show this error clearly, allowing a student to make corrections and thus also improve his earlier forms. The highly integrated nature of the Yip Kin Wing Choon Kuen system allows this.<br /></span><br />
<h3>
<span style="background-color: white;">PRINCIPLES</span></h3>
<a class="knol-anchor-headings" href="" name="Hit_With_Borrowed_Energy"></a><br />
<h3 style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hit With Borrowed Energy</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">All the techniques, movements and principles of Yip Kin Wing Choon are designed to achieve this principle. China is famous for its battles and wars which lasts weeks on end. In order to be effective in a battlefield, the soldiers had to find ways to conserve their energy and the best way to do so is to use the enemy's energy.</span></span> <a class="knol-anchor-headings" href="" name="Energy"></a><br />
<h3 style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Energy</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">Energy is only applied where there's contact and a need. For example, when a punch is launched, it is largely useless until it hits the enemy. Therefore, energy used is only to move the fist to its intended target. It is non committal and its speed and direction is changeable. When it finds its target, a second energy is released in an explosive manner. This allows the practitioner to conserve energy and use it only when it matters most. </span></span> <a class="knol-anchor-headings" href="" name="Economy_of_Action"></a><br />
<h3 style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Economy of Action</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">The only objective of Yip Kin Wing Choon is to hit/subdue the opponent in the shortest time possible using the most minimal amount of movement, strength and energy. However in a fight situation, there are more instances where the hands/feet and/or other parts of the body comes in contact with the opponent.<br /><br />Once in contact with an opponent, every move (of hands and feet, and even a step or turn) in Yip Kin Wing Choon is either an attack, or a set up for an attack. Attacks can be either strikes to vulnerable points on the body of an opponent where available, or an attack on the opponent's structure which results in him unable to attack or defend effectively. An example of an attack on structure is unbalancing the opponent. Where no direct attack is possible at any particular moment, techniques could be used to set up for an attack, by either forcing the opponent to over-commit or to simply bypass his defenses where possible or by other means.<br /><br />The combat system contains no excess movement, every movement has an application, and every movement is only as large as is strictly necessary to complete its task. In a given situation where the practitioner has a choice of action, he is encouraged to use the simplest and most direct one.</span><br /></span> <br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;">All movements are non-committed in nature, i.e. power is not generated through weight-shift or a waist turn where the upper torso twists independently of the lower body. At no point is the principle of rootedness is compromised during contact.</span></div>
<a class="knol-anchor-headings" href="" name="Centerline_Focus"></a><br />
<h3 style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Centerline Focus</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">The centerline is defined in Yip Kin Wing Choon as a vertical line passing through the center of the opponents body. Every action in Wing Choon Kuen has a focus on this centerline. The direction of force or energy is always towards this, or directly away from, this line.</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;">The objective of this focus is for every action to have the maximum effect on the opponent.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white;">The f</span>ounder of Yip Kin Wing Choon Kuen (葉堅詠春拳), Grandmaster Yip Kin (葉堅), was born in 1883 during the Qing Dynasty (dynasty duration: 1644 to 1911). He first resided in Au Wu Hamlet and later shifted to the adjoining Wang Hung Tau Village in Guangdong Pak Wan San (White Cloud Mountain) Yan Woh Chan sub-district, Southern China. He learnt martial arts from four masters.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br />1. From Sifu Soo Kai Ming, Yip Kin learnt the majority of Wing Choon Kuen we practice today.<br /><br />2. From Sifu Yip Hung Seng of the Yip clan memorial hall, Yip Kin learnt Yum Yeung Ba Gua Kuan (陰陽八卦棍).<br /><br />3. Sifu Cho Fei Hoong taught Yip Kin the intricacies to master 5 weapons, viz:</span> <br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Plum Flower Staff (楊梅棒) </span> </li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Rope and Weight (飛鉈)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">3 Section Staff (三節棍)</span> </li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Twin Willow Leaf Broadswords (<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">柳葉</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">雙</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial unicode ms";">刀</span></span>) </span> </li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Bench (横頭櫈)</span></li>
</ul>
<br />

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Wing Choon Kuen originally was part and parcel of Shaolin’s Buddhist theoretical studies. It stressed mainly the formation of one’s personal character and ethics. Kuen Faat (martial techniques) was initially human’s imitation of the movements of animals and birds. After a long period of in-depth study and trails, those movements were arranged into a series of movements we call forms. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The original founder of the series of Wing Choon Kuen was an intelligent, innovative female disciple of Shaolin called Ng Mui Shi Tai. She studied diligently and humbly at </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Shaolin</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> and eventually became one of the top Kungfu masters. The objectives of her </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">martial techniques</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> were not only to inculcate the high morality of the learner, but also to provide ample physical exercise for fitness and health, through a series of nimble movements. In addition to building up a strong and tough body physically, it also aimed to prevent diseases and defend oneself against any attack from wild animals. </span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">During the Qing Dynasty, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Ng Mui Shi Tai</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> created and founded this series of </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">martial techniques</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">. At that time, China was ruled by Manchuria from the north, i.e. Qing Dynasty. The Emperor of Qing used all sorts of barbaric means to suppress the people of China. All those who dared to oppose the regime were cruelly massacred. The people of China had suffered miserably due to political suppression as well as shortage of food. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">It was indeed timely that </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Ng Mui Shi Tai</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> appeared on the scene during that critical period. Though the </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">martial techniques </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">founded by her was not yet properly named, it was already widely learned by people as a means to fight the Qing oppressors. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In order to stem any sign of uprisings against the regime, Qing Dynasty banned all forms of martial arts practices throughout the country. They even resorted to setting fire to the famous </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shaolin</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Temple and banishing all the learners of martial arts. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ng Mui Shi Tai</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> also had to evade arrest by the Qing’s secret squads by constantly moving from one place to another. Finally she settled down in Guangdong Province where she recruited students and taught them her </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. Meanwhile, they planned collectively to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">During that time </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Ng Mui Shi Tai</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">’s </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">martial techniques </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">was not known as </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Wing Choon Kuen</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">, but just as </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Shaolin</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> Martial Art. In Guangdong, she came across a gifted disciple called Yim Sei who became </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Ng Mui Shi Tai</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">’s favourite student. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Ng Mui Shi Tai</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> instructed and trained him until he mastered all that she had acquired in her life. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">After inheriting everything from </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Ng Mui Shi Tai</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">, Yim Sei did not make his great mentor disappointed for he continued her work in uniting all the anti-Qing forces, vowing to fight the oppressive regime of Qing to the end. He recruited many capable people and became the spiritual symbol of patriotism and nationalism in an effort to oust the Qing and restore the Ming. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Master Yim Sei, once a Red Boat coach, trained and taught his disciples in a temple. It was there that his daughter Yim </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Wing Choon</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> was born.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Naming of Wing Chun Kuen</b> </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Yim Wing Chun took martial arts lessons from her father at an early age and became very competent in it. But she realized that Shaolin Kungfu emphasized on rough and tough combat techniques which were not suitable for the weaker ladies to practice. Being a lady herself, she tried to find ways and means to ‘soften’ Shaolin Kungfu so that it would be more suitable for the fairer sex. She began to change the tough and rough movements into tender and graceful movements. She eliminated rough combat techniques, made use of the opponent’s force to fight back, and initiated the so-called” tough and soft combination” of martial art. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">The new series included such changes and improvements. It had the good effect of making the learner’s body and limbs soft, elastic, nimble and agile after a round of practice. Its main combat method uses the opponent’s own force to strike against him. Yim Wing Chun had surpassed her father’s achievement in wushu. This series of martial techniques, from the time of Ng Mui Shi Tai to Yim Sei, had never had a proper name. After the improvements and refinements by Yim Wing Chun, Ng Mui Shi Tai decided to name this series of martial techniques after her, to commemorate her tireless efforts and contribution to the development of this branch of martial art. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">As a result, a complete series of “ hard - and- soft” Wing Chun Kuen" was ‘handed’ down from generation to generation, from Guangdong to Fatshan and then to Fujian and Yunnan Provinces. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Wing Choon Kuen</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"> was formally named. Then, there lived a man by the name of Soo Kai Ming in Pak Wan San (White Clouds Mountain) in Poon Yue county. Being a martial arts master himself, he took an active part in the campaign to topple the Qing and restore the Ming. His love and devotion to martial arts propelled him to practice very hard and became an expert in Wing Choon. The spread of Wing Choon Kuen in Poon Yue county fell on his shoulders. He was very competent in martial arts and was reputed to be the best martial arts master among the older folks. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">However, due to the changes of political situation, this old master decided not to move around too much. He preferred to lie low and settle down to set up school to train students, rather than involving deeply in external affairs. He actively taught and spread the martial arts of the early founders. At that time, a lot of people came to him to learn wushu because of his great reputation. He had indeed trained a lot of capable and competent disciples who then spread Wing Choon Kuen throughout China.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;">Among Soo Kai Ming's students was one Yip Kin. Yip Kin was tutored by this old master in Wing Choon Kuen. Besides, Yip Kin had also learned Ying-Yang Ba Kua Stick from Master Yip Hong Seng of the Yip Clan Memorial Hall. He also acquired the Five Weapons skills from Master Cho Fei Hoong.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 85%;"><span style="background-color: white;">In addition to this, he learned more about Wing Choon and many different martial arts under Master Yik Kam who was a master of a Chinese Opera group during the Red Boat era. When Yip Kin left China to immigrate to the south sea known as Nanyang, he cho<span style="background-color: white;">se to settle down in Kuala Lumpur and began his legendary life history there. </span></span></span><br />
