In 1992 Master Ip Chun set up the Ip Chun Wing
Chun Kuen Martial Arts Association to act as the governing body to officially
certify and authenticate only those of his senior students who have
attained Instructor level under his personal tuition in Hong Kong and whom,
with his express permission, teach for and represent Master Ip Chun around the
world. Each of these instructors holds a personally signed and sealed
certificate from Master Ip Chun authorising them as an instructor under Master
Ip Chun.
Since 1970, Master Ip Chun has only certified
33 instructors and each are named on this site, in addition to his 2
sons.
Master Ip Chun felt this was necessary because
there are a growing number of people around the world who lay claim to teach
for, and even represent him. Though some of these individuals may indeed have
trained under Master Ip Chun as a student, only those issued with the
Association certificate by Master Ip Chun are deemed to have reached the
standard necessary to officially teach for and on behalf of Master Ip Chun.
The Ip Chun Wing Chun Kuen Martial Arts
Association is administered by several of Master Ip Chun's senior students who
are responsible for producing the certificates for him to sign, maintaining
this web site and answering any questions regarding anyone who claims to be an
Instructor for, or qualified by, Master Ip Chun.
If anyone has any questions or wishes to check
the authenticity of an Instructor who claims to be certified by, or qualified
by, Master Ip Chun contact:
