Duncan Leung was introduced to Wing Chun Kung Fu by his childhood friend, famed screen star Bruce Lee. At the age of 13, after the ritual of 'three kneels, nine kowtows' in the traditional Sifu worship ceremony, he became the formal disciple of sixth-generation Wing Chun master Yip Man. Between 1955 and 1959 he studied with his Sifu at home, where Yip taught him how to apply Wing Chun to actual fighting. Leung trained six hours a day, seven days a week for four years, and used this knowledge fighting in the streets and martial arts studios of Hong Kong. In 1964 Leung befriended an old man who taught him rare secrets of close fighting, including the art of disarming a knife-wielding opponent, and silencing an opponent barehanded. When he opened his Wing Chun studio in New York City in 1974, he was challenged by martial art practitioners of every school and was undefeated. Since moving to Virginia Beach in 1976, he has taught US Navy SEALs, members of the FBI, and various SWAT teams. In 2002 he accepted perhaps the greatest challenge of his life: to train six Chinese teenagers to become world-class professional fighters within two years. To this end, he returned to China to accomplish what many considered an impossible mission.

An interesting read

You will learn nothing about Wing Chun from this book. It is an interesting read by a Wing Chun master who learned from Ip Man during a time when you tested your martial arts on the streets. Sifu Leung talks about his life, some of his fights, and his philosophy on martial arts. An easy read but no secrets here.

Entertaining kung fu stories for a general readership
5. Februar 2009
Von P. Spurrier
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
As someone who knows little about martial arts besides what I've seen on film, I found this book to be accessible and not overloaded with too much kung fu jargon. The book tells the story of Duncan Leung, a Hong Kong boy who studied Wing Chun kung fu under famous master Yip Man in the 1950s, and then left Hong Kong to establish his own school in the US. Along the way, we hear about his friendship with Bruce Lee, his encounters with other martial arts masters, and various fights he has in the streets of Kowloon and in New York. The author ties each anecdote in with a Chinese proverb or teaching from ancient Chinese philosophers, and cartoon-style illustrations follow each fight story, making for an entertaining and educational read.

Exploits of a True Wing Chun Master
20. März 2009
Von John May
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
"Wing Chun Warrior: The True Tales of Wing Chun Kung Fu Master" is the paperback version of the large hard cover version bearing the same name.
I found this book to be a excellent read, due to the fact that it contains so many stories of Sifu Duncan Leung's life while growing up in Hong Kong. Sifu Leung trained in the Wing Chun System of Kung Fu with his boyhood friend the late Bruce Lee. It was actually Bruce Lee who got Sifu Leung into training Wing Chun with the Late Great Grandmaster Yip Man.
I think for anyone who trains Wing Chun whether beginner or advanced will for this book Inspiring as I did when I read it. There are many fascinating stories at times that I could not put this book down, I hope you will also find this book fascinating as well. Cheers!!!
