23 Nov. 2016 GM John Cheng has passed away!
It is with deep regret that we inform you of the tragic loss of GM John Cheng (Moy 4). GM Cheng was a senior Disciple of Grandmaster Moy Yat and a close friend of GM Lee Moy Shan. GM Cheng helped GM Lee with his book, "Kung Fu for Young People" both in material content and as a model for the book which was published in 1975. The book was one of the earliest known works on Ving Tsun written in English. We ask that you send your thoughts and prayers to the Cheng family. GM John Cheng will be never be forgotten in the Ving Tsun community, his life will live on in our hearts.

Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin Passes away!
The WVTAA extends it condolences to the family, friends and disciples of Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin. It was my honor to have met GM Chu in 2000 and had the privilege of interviewing him in Hong Kong. His wisdom and knowledge of life and Ving Tsun was truly that of a Ving Tsun master. One of the things he said to me regarding Ving Tsun and Life that to this day I recall vividly; "When you have a problem, cut it in half, if you still have a problem, cut it in half again until it is reduced to its simplest equation and then you will find the answer."
The passing of Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin is truly a monumental loss to Ving Tsun and the Martial Arts community at large.
