Where to find Wing Chun Class in Malaysia!

Recently I read a forum in PJNet titled "Looking for Wing Chun class". A group advertised themselves as "The only Ip Man Ving Chun in Malaysia" and that started a big argument on the net which later became a big game of I accuse you of this and that. Even my organization was accused! Hahaha...

First things first. You are ALL giving martial artist a bad name. Everybody accusing everybody else and no one listening to each other. That's not the martial artist way!

For those wanting to find Wing Chun classes, my dear friends Chow Wai Yip (www.pendekars.com) and Jon Dep (A student of Ken Lau. Ken Lau is a certified instructor of Grandmaster Ip Chun's Wing Chun in Singapore. Check out http://www.geocities.com/wingchun_sg/) conducts a Wing Chun meetup session in either Taman Rimba Kiara in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, PJ. or in Jalan Klang Lama almost every Saturday. There, wing chun practitioners of almost every school in Kuala Lumpur goes to practice with each other without prejudice. No politics (nobody saying theirs is the best) and no animosity.

Currently, among others, we have students from Grandmasters Stephen Chan, Wong Shun Leong, Leung Shung, Ip Chun lineages come by. All these grandmasters are respected Ip Man students. This is why, I try to join as much as my time and resources allow. The students are great, friendly and very good at what they do.

However, there have not been students from "The only Ip Man Ving Chun" group come yet. My only hope is they come soon to practice, share and if there are people who come to look for wing chun classes, they can market themselves there.

For information, checkout the following sites: Both groups are on facebook.

The Malaysia Wing Chun/Ving Tsun Kuen Study Group/大馬,馬來西亞詠春网络


Fellowship Of Malaysia Wing Chun 马来西亚永春拳术研究会


So Malaysians don't despair! There are many Yip Man students practicing and teaching here in Malaysia! Join the groups and come to the meet ups! You won't regret it!

P/S: I'm not doing myself much good here promoting other wing chun. Hope sifu don't mind. But, I love my friends and I love ALL martial arts (wing chun especially! and among wing chun, Yip Kin wing chun especially! hehe).

Wah! You promote us openly... :)
Maybe we can setup a Wing Chun Kuen Research Society later and you can share with everyone the most comprehensive and in-depth Yip Kin Wing Chun still not discovered by many.

Thank you martial artist. We (all martial artists) are of a small group. But, of great importance to our country. So, if we are united, we have a lot to gain physically, mentally, spiritually and socially at at different levels of society.

Please help us spread this. Thank you.

how about setting up a practice in subang jaya? i know at least 50 friends looking to practice wing chun, but kl is a bit too far away for us students. there are a lot of open courts that can be used at night around here without disturbing the public

Hi, you can find also WingChun classes in Penang.
There is a website http://iaw-malaysia.com/

sam said...

Hey me and a few friends always wanted to learn wing chun,but we're living in Sungai Petani ,Kedah.So is it possible for any sifu to teach at here or Penang??

wingChun Penang said...

If you cannot afford to organize an event in your hometown, then, you should take your time and go visit them.
Of course, Penang is the nearest from SP, but it does not mean that what we teach is the closest to what you are looking for.

Figure out what you really want to learn:
KungFu choreographies, or Combat.

Both activities require dedication and perseverance. It is just a matter of preference.

If you choose the second one, all the informations you need are on our website: International Academy of WingChun® - Malaysia

Nathan
