Hello Everyone,
I live in Vancouver and I saw a few weeks ago some posters about some Vancouver Martial Arts demonstration. Anyone living in Vancouver see it? If you have, could you let me know when and where it is being held?
Thank you!
Hope this helps
The event you might be thinking of is the Can Am Martial Arts Championships which includes a night time demonstration. It will happen June 3 at BCIT campus in Burnaby (a suburb of Vancouver). Go to www.kenlowkungfu.com for further info.
Thanks for the quick reply. I will check the site.
Hi there if you are interested in Kung Fu performance in Vancouver you should check out Vancouver Chinatown Night Market website event page: http://www.vcma.shawbiz.ca/events.htm
I believe the performances are:
- July 1st - Kin Fung School and Guest Clubs
- Aug 5th - Western Canada
- …I don’t remember the date…it’s by Wushu BC
Hope this help…by the way the shows are free at the Night Market.
Ken Low’s tournament is $18 just to watch…but some may say you get what you pay for.
Thanks for the info.
Actually I’m trying to find a school/club/instructor at the moment and I wanted to see what is available in Vancouver. I’ll definately check out the night market.

Well…
dang firepalm,
how do you manage to keep so up to date with all the local school’s the website???
Though I am a bit biased towards my own club http://www.northernshaolin.ca - instructor Jun Ing
(NOTE: “dot” CA not “dot” COM)
Wahh
you can private message me if you have any questions regarding the club or visit our website and email the club directly.
AH HA! you missed at least one more club’s website.
- Shung Ying Choy Lay Fat Richmond - Paul Tam (student of Hilbert Yiu) http://www.clfcanada.com
it is strange I am promoting another club but I feel strongly that everyone should have all the choices presented to them before making a choice. I have personally looked at many places before I accidently found the best (in my opinion) for me.
Also a list should be complete as possible. One more thing I thought Kenneth Liu was teaching at Chinese Freemasons?
Thank you!
Thanks I n S your points about Kenneth Liu & Paul Tam’s website are noted. I got the info from a friend that is building a resource website. So I will pass the info to him.
Cheers!

IS,
You did not tell me that your sifu had a web site. But I got it now.
Northernshaolin,
Sorry buddy I didn’t know about it until recently and wasn’t when to let people know about it. But since firepalm mentioned it…I might as well try to promote it.
We try to keep it really basic but luckily enough we had a student that design webpages for a living!!!
What do you think?
IS,
It looks really good. He did an excellent job. Guess the video part is not ready yet because it asks for a password to view it.
Thank you!
Yes, SHE did do an excellent job, I shall pass on your kind words.
The video section does work you just have to press cancel a couple of times and you can download the video if you expenience difficulty watching it. The link is right underneath the Window Media Player’s bar.
Sorry for late reply, I’ve been busy with some other things.
But thank you for the list of schools. Initially I was trying to find someone teaching one of the lesser known styles of Wing Chun (not the YipMan or the YuenKaySan systems). But it seems a little difficult.
Has anyone heard anything about the Freemason’s Athletic Association? I passed by there once, and it sounded interesting.
Yuen Kay Shan Wing Chun is about the 900 Block of East Hastings in the Lower East Side of Vancouver, taught by Sifu Tsui Siu Ming from China. Very knowledgable.
Fred Kwok is also good for conventional HK Wing Chun (www.tigerwingchun.com)
For more info on Wing Chun go to either Dragon Martial Arts Supplies (www.dmacanada.com) in Chinatown or Kuen Way on Victoria Dr. (www.kuenway.com) either can give you loads more info on Wing Chun in Vancouver.
Freemasons an old long established Vancouver branch of the society coming from China & South East Asia. Style taught is Choy Lee Fut by Kenneth Liu from the Shung Ying School (long time student of Sifu Hilbert Yiu).
Hope this helps.
a village wing chun
wahh
I could be wrong but I believe Yu Shan Association teaches a village nonYipMan wing chun.
I personally not sure what you are looking for so maybe if you want to tell us what kind of style or school you are interested maybe we can point you in the right direction???
Personally style and school can vary depending on who is teaching it.
hello
I am looking for a style with a few core forms that I can practice repeatedly. So I am looking for a school or an instructor to teach me Wing Chun. I have learned a nonYip Man style before and tried to continue learning Wing Chun in Vancouver from some Yip Man and Yuen Kay San styles, but I find it a little different. So I’m trying to find a school that is one of the lesser known ones, preferably a softer style.
If anyone has any info, please feel free to PM away.
Thank you
I know this might be off topic but does any one know any info on
Sifu Marquis Lung?
Website
check out his site @
www.northernshaolin.com
He is very reputable and is the son of Lung Kai Ming, a very famous Hong Kong sifu.
wow his profile is pretty cool but does any one know about how good his teachings are?
