Sifu Lou's Training Lineage
Sifu Lou Comes From A Very Powerful Lineage
At the time of his death, Yip Man could not have imagined that his name would be remembered among those of the most distinguished international grandmasters in the annals of martial arts history: Dr. Jigoro Kano, Gichin Funakoshi, Moriehi Uyeshiba. Yip Man’s name belongs on that list of immortals. His teaching has become a cornerstone of the modern martial arts era. The bare-boned efficiency of his fighting techniques, coupled with the knowledge that he was Bruce Lee’s instructor, caused millions to regard his art with awed curiosity. Wing Chun means magic to them. Throughout the world, wherever instruction is not readily available, martial artists have at least attempted to imitate the subtleties of the art’s sticking and trapping techniques.
Grandmaster William Cheung
On November 22, 1998, Grandmaster William Cheung was inducted into the 1998 Blitz Hall of Fame, receiving the award for “Lifetime Tribute for Martial Arts”. He has been called the Masters’ Master; he was considered by Bruce Lee to be the “ultimate fighter”: William Cheuk Hing Cheung was the sole inheritor of the Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu system, and was the person responsible for introducing Bruce Lee to Wing Chun Kung Fu.
Master Sifu Keith Mazza
Wing Chun master Keith Mazza has been studying Wing Chun under Grandmaster William Cheung since 1983 and now runs the New Jersey branch of Cheung’s World Wing Chun Kung Fu Association His ability to adapt his kung fu skills to any situation has served him well on the tough streets of New York, as well as in various security roles and as a No-Holds-Barred champion fighter. As an instructor, he’s also been somewhat of a chameleon, taking on many roles, including coach of a world-champion boxer and self-defense instructor to the elderly.
