Master Tang Sang a trusted friend
and student of Great Grandmaster Yip Man decided that if success was to
be achieved, a change of tactics had to implemented.
Knowing that future
tournaments could bring a repeat of the previous competition, Master Tang
Sang announced that all Wing Chun Masters recognized by Great Grandmaster
Yip Man should send their finest students to participate in an elimination
tournament named the 'Yip Man Cup', and that the
four best fighters would be selected to represent the Wing Chun Clan in
the up and coming South East Asian Kung Fu Championships.
Chosen to represent the Wing Chun Clan was Wong
Yam Chung who during the course of the South East Asian Kung Fu Championships
was placed once more with a champion Muay Thai fighter. This time however
the results were different. After three rounds and the implementation of
200 kicking techniques against his opponent, Wong Yam Chung was announced
the winner and Grand Champion of the tournament, a deed which renewed the
honor of the Wing Chun School and brought joy and respect to a deserved
Great Grandmaster Yip Man. |
