Official Blog of City WingTsun Kung Fu & Sifu Alex

During my last visit to Hong Kong this past August, I had the chance to visit the WingTsun class at the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU).  This class is taught by my elder kung-fu brother Sifu Robin Tsang under the supervision of Sifu Leung Koon (brother of grandmaster Leung Ting).  The WT class at the HKBU has particular historical importance for us in the IWTA as it was the first open kung fu class ever taught at an educational institution in Hong Kong.  Back in those days it was a common misbelief among many Hong Kong Chinese that kung fu was for lower class people or just for thugs.  The young Sifu Leung Ting wanted to change that and thus opened this WT class in his university.  It wasn't easy at first, he encountered resistance from the faculty - but once he got the green light his WT class became one of the most successful

extracurricular classes ever taught at HKBU.  Within a few

months there were over 120 students learning WingTsun at HKBU!

Eventually the young Sifu Leung Ting would focus on promoting his own school and later his international association.  The WT class at the HKBU has been a tradition in our association, being passed from one WT instructor to the next.  Now Sifu Robin is the instructor for this very nostalgic WingTsun class!
