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.
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:
