I was able to visit his Gold Coast school and meet his awesome instructors early '07. It must have been a priviledge to train under a great Sifu. The Filipino martial arts is somehow connected and inspired by Wing Chun. Long live Wing Chun Au. RIP Grandmaster Fung.

I do a different version of wing chun but I dropped into the Sydney school just last week and the fellow there showed me some really unique principles and techniques. I was really impressed. Much respect.
