2008 Lee Shing Family Gathering
News, January 3rd, 2008
From TiFei on the forums:
In the New Year, I’m hoping to get together some members of the Lee Shing Wing Chun Family to discuss our teaching practices, future promotions and event diary for 2008.
Normally, and in the past, these meetings have always been held behind closed doors or by invite only, but next year I would like to try something different.
Now I don’t claim to be anything special and I never even got the chance to meet Lee Shing, but I do care about this relatively small and unique family of practitioners. I trained for a short while at Jun Mo under Sifu Joe Man in London and I have never looked back since. Other prominent teachers recognised today include Joseph Lee, Austin Goh, Simon Lau and Joseph Cheng.
Lee Shing Wing Chun is probably best described as a blend of Mainland Chinese (Gulao) and Hong Kong Wing Chun. But, as this method was originally taught by Lee Shing in London, we used to refer to it as simply Londoner Wing Chun!
If you would like to attend, or are genuinely interested in this branch of Wing Chun and would like to meet some of us ‘old skool’ characters, please just post here or message me privately.
Happy New Year to everyone at W1NG.com!
And thank you for the promotion! It was a nice surprise. I hope to have a little report available after Chinese New Year and I’m looking forward to meeting some new friends in 2008.
