[QUOTE=Tong Chuang;1306340]I noticed on the Ving Tsun Museum Family Tree it seems to be implying that GM William Cheung learnt Hung Fa Yi from ‘GM Hakka Keung’s students in Hong Kong’ in the 1970’s period.
see

Can anybody corroborate this claim?
I understood that he had already left for Australia by this time.
Apart from this post
http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?44009-HFY-Wing-Chun-updates&highlight=HAKKA+KEUNG
there is no other information about GM Hakka Keung, who was apparently a Hung Suen / Hung Fa Yi Grandmaster, one of only 4 disciples of GM Wang Ming
If true, this link might explain why TWC and Hung Fa Yi have many similarities but would undermine the Leung Bik / Yip Man / William Cheung teaching claim.[/QUOTE]
This is just another reason why GM William Cheung does not recognize that crazy boy Benny Ming, along with many other authority figures in the Wing Chun circles share similar strongly negative opinion. Crazy Benny telling blatant lies publicly about him! Cheung’s organization and representative even made statement to address that photo opp Benny who tried to gain more public acceptance from L.A. event can read about here:
*https://blackflagscoundrels.wordpress.com/2014/11/05/hkb-contamination-and-lins-collateral-damage/
“This is Sifu Shannon Moore, Executive Director of the Global Traditional Wing Chun Association headed by GM William Cheung. For the record, we have no affiliation whatsoever with Benny Meng or his Black flag organization. We do not acknowledge nor condone nor support any of his activities or his organization. Any image of GM William Cheung or any other representative of the GTWCKFA or event that is used will be WITHOUT our consent. The image(s) described were purely happen stance photo opportunities NOT initiated by the GTWCKFA.”
Just one photo trigger such a strong response should tell you how illegitimate and toxic crazy Meng truly is. It’s already been established for many years he is a fraud who is only in the business of using his personal interpretations to create more frauds under his business. Sifu Tony Massengill already confirmed this, and Sifu Samuel Kwok already identifies him as not legit in the community. From that link:
[B]"1. William Cheung shut the door in their faces and said NO THANK YOU.
-
Sergio Iadarola denounced and exposed their lies and mode of operation to clear his own name and air the truth
-
Tio Tek Kwie denounced them and exposed the truth behind their lies and was lambasted and routed out by Lin.
-
Even Kenneth Lin banished Meng from the HKB for being too treacherous!
-
Sifu Tony Massengil calls Benny a fraud for endorsing frauds."[/B]
I add many other to that list including Ip Chun and Moy Yat, Victor Parlati too. many distance them selves from the disgrace that crazy Benny is to Wing Chun. His agenda is easy to see to tear down Ip Man legacy with lies.
More from that link:
“Could it be because he exposed his ambitious rat tail when he said Lets reclaim the TRUE bloodline of Wing Chun LOL on an open forum just 2 years ago? That was rhetorical of course but for a reminder of his ambitious nature..”
“For the sake of truth Ip Man Wing Chun was indeed made up also. and by whom? by Ip Man himself of course Only a dumb-ass doesnt know that but even so who cares?* some people really are full of BS!!! Alex Magnos”
The so called curator has this type stance on Ip Man Wing Chun!? A curator cannot have such bias and disdain. A researcher cannot be spreading lies. He caught doing both!
With all that he has done in the abusing the Wing Chun name especially with that fake Black Flag from Kenneth Lin and now self proclaiming himself as grand master of “Shaolin” Wing Chun, running a place that does not deserve the name Wing Chun Museum because it’s only use is for him to peddle his fake fantasy version of real kung fu that was made up by him. Who gave him title? What Sifu of “Shaolin wing Chun” grant him position and authority? None. He created it himself and should let go of Wing Chun name and Shaolin name! He is no curator and certainly no researcher.
By even daring to air and spread an obvious garbage LIE on his web site about GM Cheung, contradicting Cheung’s own personal testimony. I mean, GM Cheung is still alive and well and has never changed his testimony. Crazy Boy is guilty to spread fake news and spread false teachings to people about actual Wing Chun because he is really giving them his mixed version rather than what truly representing of his teacher Moy Yat’s Ving Tsun. You can bet GM Moy Yat did not grant him authority as GM of Shaolin Wing Chun. In fact many know he called that crazy boy a traitor.
He is no different than that Sergio guy and no different than Kenneth Lin and no different than Robert Chu and no different than Andreas Hoffman and no different than Hendrick Santos, for they all only promote their own imagination and ego because they lack what takes to be a real student under a real teacher for as long as it’s needed to become an actual accomplished kung fu man!* someone who earned all complete knowledge from their Sifu to the point the Sifu grant such rite of passage. These guys all failures and without loyalty without integrity and they all dislike each other too hahaha. No. They just want fame and fortune.
Tell me, how can a place be called a Wing Chun Museum yet not teach real Wing Chun? He is not spokesman for all the lineages he’s supposed to welcome in that place that he calls a museum? No. He is taking advantage of the Wing Chun name snd Shaolin name for money and name recognition only and without apology. If he were honorable he would drop those names and replace with his name only.
