lineage notes
Yip Man took over Allan's training from Lok Yiu and made Allan a formal disciple - his last. Yip Man was unable to complete Allan's training, so he sent Allan to Duncan Leung. For the complete story read Allan's articles (3 parts) entitled "My Sifus".
In 1967, SiFu Lee began learning Wing Chun from SiFu Lok Yiu, the second disciple of the late Grandmaster Yip Man. In time, SiFu Lee became an assistant instructor for SiFu Lok Yiu’s schools.
As a result of his good character, talent and dedication to the Wing Chun style, Grandmaster Yip Man chose SiFu Lee as a private student. This great honor allowed SiFu Lee to train intensively and complete the Wing Chun curriculum under the expert tutelage of Grandmaster Yip Man.
In honor of the Late Grandmaster, SiFu Lee donated his residence in Hong Kong to establish the chief school and office of the Yip Man Wing Chun Martial Art Association.
After leaving Hong Kong and arriving in New York City in 1974, SiFu Lee had the great fortune and honor of meeting SiFu Duncan S. H. Leung, another private disciple of the late Grandmaster Yip Man. SiFu Leung furthered SiFu Lees knowledge of the art and together they ran a Wing Chun Kung Fu school in New York City.
SiFu Lee has always maintained the utmost respect for, and an open approach to other martial arts and artists.
In 1978 SiFu Lee was appointed Chairman and Director of the Yip Man Wing Chun Martial Arts Association, United States Chapter by SiFu Yip Chun, the elder son of Grandmaster Yip Man.
In addition to his passion for Wing Chun and martial arts, SiFu Lee is a highly skilled practitioner of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine specializing in physical injury (Dit-Da).
