Kung Fu master jailed for beating mistress

Kung Fu master Leung Ting, the last student of martial arts sifu Ip Man, has been sentenced to two months’ jail for assaulting his girlfriend.

Leung, the 62-year-old junior apprentice of international kungfu star Bruce Lee, is the founder of the International WingTsun Association.

He was charged with attacking his girlfriend, who was then three months’ pregnant, by dragging her on the ground, pulling her hair and kicking her stomach at his home in Hong Kong on March 30.

The couple had entered a heated argument after the girlfriend, 45, was believed to have offended Leungs ex-wife.

Hong Kongs Sing Tao Daily reported that the court had found Leung guilty and sentenced him to two months’ jail on Thursday.

So another word, he was a bad student of Wing Chun. And doesn’t even follow the Code of Conduct of Wing Chun? :mad:

Ip Mans Code of Conduct

REMAIN disciplined uphold yourself ethically as a martial artist.

PRACTICE courtesy and righteousness serve community and honor your family.

LOVE your fellow students or classmates be united and avoid conflicts.

LIMIT your desires and pursuit of bodily pleasures preserve the proper spirit.

TRAIN diligently and make it a habit maintain your skills.

LEARN to develop spiritual tranquility abstain from arguments and fights.

PARTICIPATE in society be conservative, cultured and gentle in manners.

HELP the weak and the very young use your martial skill for the good of humanity.

PASS on the tradition preserve the Chinese art and its Rules of Conduct.

On November 20, 2009, Leung was sentenced to two months in prison for assaulting his former girlfriend, which was later quashed. Regina Lip Sik-ying testified that Leung banged her head against the floor, kicked her in the stomach and boxed her ears. Leung testified that he pulled Lip down from a window where she was threatening to commit suicide, and that she then fell and hit her head. Leung remained free pending appeal.[6] On April 29, 2010, the conviction was quashed by Court of First Instance Judge Darryl Gordon Saw. Judge Saw ruled that the medical reports did not support Lip’s testimony but did support Leung’s testimony. Leung was cleared of all charges.

Best Overall Wing Chun Book

[QUOTE=wolf3001;1097881]What is the best book for Wing Chun out there? I have a few but im looking for something that covers all the terminology in one book. I thought I read somewhere that the WC Museum was putting together a major book on all thing Wing Chun but now im not finding anything. I mainly want something that covers the techniques and theories behind the art. I have trouble with some of the terminology and would also like accurate English translations of the techniques. I have often times ran into issues with different translations for a technique. We have gotten into several discussions in class about the names of techniques and my Sifu is not always there.[/QUOTE]

Best overall wing chun book

[QUOTE=Phil Redmond;1097901]One of my favorite books is “The Complete Wing Chun”. I would be nice though if some WC Sifus would get together and do a book on each other’s lineages. That would be a great seller since many people might not buy a book outside of their lineage but would buy a book that showed their lineage. The extra bonus being that they’d see other lineages as well.[/QUOTE]

Phil , that would be nice , but I don ’ t think so , better you go and do your own research on their lineages . Because as times goes by do you hear anything about people doing a complete research on the different lineages of WC , then turning it into a documentry DVD or book ? This is a big project that ’ s why . But all we can ever for ourselves is do our own research on this subject .

I have the “Wing Chun Compendium Vol 1.” which is excellent, and I also have a book called “Wing Chun Kung Fu, traditional chinese kung fu for self defense and health”.

The first is by a Wayne Belonoha, and the second is by Grandmaster Ip Chun and Micheal Tse.
