Biography

Victor Kan Wah Chit, began learning Ving Tsun Kung Fu with the late Grandmaster Yip Man in 1954, when he was 13 years old in Hong Kong. He devoted 3-4 hours a day, 7 days a week, learning and practising Ving Tsun under Yip Man's instruction for 7 years; whilst his other kung fu brothers spent most of their time challenging other styles of kung fu or fighting in the streets to have their fun. It was Victor Kan's only interest and hobby at that time as a teenager. With his excellent physical and mind condition, and his parents support, a few years later he became Yip Man's top student. His fellow student's nicknamed him 'King of Chi Sao' or 'The Untouchable'. In the late 1950's he became Yip Man's assistant chief instructor until he left Hong Kong for Europe in 1961.

He is based in London, England where he has been teaching since 1975. He is now the only student of Yip Man teaching in Europe and has branches in Italy, Belgium, Luxemburg and Hong Kong. He keeps the highest standards of authenticity and insists on teaching Ving Tsun in the classical way just as Yip Man taught him. The purity is 99%, no more and no less. So it can be passed on as authentically as possible to the next generation.
