biography (con't)
Kwok Wan-Ping (Guo Yunping) was born in the late 1939. He studied for 4 years at the Guangzhou and Wuhon Sports Institutes and went on to win the All-China lightweight wrestling championship during that time. At the institute, he studied Mongolian, freestyle, and Greco-Roman wrestling. He also learned weight lifting, fencing, and other Chinese martial arts.
In the mid 1960s, he began studying Wing Chun under grandmaster Sum Nung, having been introduced by Wong Jing. He also studied the internal styles of Taijiquan, Baguazhang, and Xingyiquan under Fu Wing-Fay, son of the legendary Fu Zhensung, as well as a myriad of other forms, such as Wuzuquan.
In the late 1960s, Kwok Wan-Ping moved to Hong Kong and began the Guangzhou Wing Chun/Taiji School, located in Kowloon.
He has gone on to become one of the most sought after martial arts coaches in Hong Kong and several of his students and decendants have become highly respected instructors in their own rights, such as Tse Chung-Fai of British Columbia, Chow Gwok-Tai of Toronto, Lee Chun-Ming of Virginia, and Fung Yoy-Gin of Hong Kong.
