The below article was written to share my experience learning from one of the great Wing Chun master in Hong Kong, Master Wan Kam Leung.
July 14th, I had a business assignment from my company which required me to travel to Hong Kong. In my mind, I have always wanted to go to Hong Kong as the place is known as heaven to martial art lovers. One of my intentions to go there is to meet and train with a Wing Chun master called Master Wan Kam Leung. Life felt even more interesting as my friend Yance Paulana somehow booked me in a hotel close to Master Wan Kam Leung Wing Chun School without her even knowing it. As an aside, I also went to Kowloon Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and met Taki Kimura there, but I will not expand further as this is a Wing Chun page, not Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu page.
Although Master Wan Kam Leung’s school was supposedly nearby from my hotel, but life was never easy. I asked many people in Kowloon, but no one could tell me where the exact location of the school. After searching for a while, I finally found the school, located not even 8 minutes by foot not far from my hotel! Talking about perseverance!
As soon as I stepped on to the school, I was welcomed with a big smile from Pui Yee and of course the Master himself! I was all excited when Pui Yee offered to help me arranging my private session with Master Wan Kam Leung. It was quite strange as I know for a fact, I would get my ass kicked by the Master!
