Sifu Elmond Leung, Head Instructor
In 1967 Sifu Elmond Leung began his WingTsun Kung Fu journey in Hong Kong. After searching for a style that would suit him, he selected WingTsun.
At that time, the late
Great Grandmaster Yip Man had opened a new program to attract younger students to his school on Nathan Road.
Sifu Elmond signed up and studied there for a short period of time before work took him away from martial arts practice.
When Sifu Elmond returned to the school on Nathan Road, he discovered it was being run by a gifted young sifu named Leung Ting.
In those days, Leung Ting personally conducted class at his school on a daily basis.
The school on Nathan Road still operates in Hong Kong to this day.
Sifu Elmond studied with Grandmaster Leung Ting until Sifu Elmond's family immigrated to the United States in 1974.
Prior to leaving Hong Kong, Sifu Elmond attained the Third Level Technician ranking.
In 1982 Sifu Elmond started teaching privately to a handful of students.
His students' accomplishments include having won First, Second and Third place rankings in international competitions.
Meanwhile, his own teacher, Grandmaster Leung Ting has become the leader of the largest kungfu organization in the world,
the International WingTsun Association (IWTA).
Those who have met Sifu Elmond quickly acknowledge that he has genuine WingTsun knowledge and a master's skill level.
Although Sifu Elmond has always been a member of the International WingTsun Association in Hong Kong,
he has only recently joined and become active in the North American Section (
IWTA-NAS).
At last, the later generation students of the Grandmaster meet a first generation student!
In the family tradition of WingTsun, Grandmaster Leung Ting now calls upon Sifu Elmond to help teach and train the younger
WingTsun brothers and sisters.
Greg Risby, 1st Level Technician
Sihing Greg has been training with Sifu Elmond since mid 1984. He was introduced to Sifu Elmond by way of tournament Champion Joel Jones,
another long-time student of Sifu Elmond. Sihing Greg practiced Tae Kwon Do and Karate before learning about WingTsun. Nowadays, Sihing Greg
assists his si-fu in training the various student groups.
Joseph Mah, 1st Level Technician
Sihing Joseph has been training with Sifu Elmond since September, 1990.
Sihing Joseph previously trained in Kenpo Karate and Wing Chun.
After reading an article by Grandmaster Leung Ting, he decided WingTsun was the true martial art for him.
In late 1990, Joseph attended a seminar given by Grandmaster Leung Ting and was sent to Sifu Elmond by the Grandmaster.
Sihing Joseph assists his si-fu in setting up classes, and training the San Francisco and Millbrae student groups.
Tyler Kot, 1st Level Technician
Sihing Tyler started his WingTsun training in Hong Kong under WingTsun Grandmaster Cheng Chuen Fun.
Sihing Tyler also trained in Tae Kwon Do.
After moving to the United States, Tyler looked to further his WingTsun studies, but failed to find a qualified teacher until he found Sifu Elmond in 1997.
Sihing Tyler continues to train with Sifu Elmond, and also assists his sifu training the Millbrae student groups.
