Lo Man Kam
(nephew of
Grandmaster Yip Man) began learning Wing Chun Kung Fu from
his uncle at a very early age. To this day, he still
progresses in Wing Chun, continually seeking to expand an
already profound understanding of his art. Using his vast
knowledge of martial arts, he has integrated Wing Chun’s
proactive approach with joint locking and throwing skills
to form the foundation of the Taiwan police martial art
curriculum. He has further extended Wing Chun's
philosophies and theories to apply to everyday life.
In 1974, Sifu Lo Man Kam established the first and only
Wing Chun Kung Fu school in Taiwan. Distinguished as an
unparalleled teacher, he has helped spread the Chinese
fighting arts throughout the world. His school resembles a
United Nations of Kung Fu, with students from 34 countries
and territories: including Switzerland, Germany, the USA,
France, Israel, Canada, Poland, Belgium, South Africa,
Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Thailand, Hong Kong, and many others.
Through his efforts, he has shared this aspect of Chinese
culture, and has become something of a cultural ambassador
for the Chinese people. Of course, Wing Chun is well known
in martial arts circles as Superstar Bruce Lee's first
fighting style. In fact, Sifu Lo was the giant's third
senior kung fu brother in Hong Kong, and perhaps it is also
this fact that draws so many foreigners to his school to
join the Chinese who train there.
