Sifu Matyas Tamas

Matyas Tamas Wing Tsun kung fu Instructor
Sifu Matyas Tamas came across Wing Chun back in October 2007 when he was looking for a form of self-defense or a practical martial art. Upon learning that this was the style that Bruce Lee practiced before becoming a famous martial artist, he decided to find a Wing Chun school in San Francisco or the Peninsula. 
During his first two years, Matyas already developed a great passion for Wing Tsun kung fu, and recognized his Sifu’s masterful skills and knowledge.  He was eager to follow his Sifu’s footsteps and progress as quickly as it was possible, adding  more hours of individual weekly practice in the park nearby to his house.  
Starting his first year, Matyas attended all local Wing Tsun seminars of the International Wing Tsun Association (IWTA). He greatly appreciated the opportunity to meet and follow instructions of  Master Carson Lau from Toronto and Grandmaster Leung Ting from Hong Kong during these seminars.

Very soon, Matyas also discovered the joy of teaching and sharing the art with his younger kung fu brothers. He was always glad to assist his Sifu by partnering up with the newest students whenever it was needed. Matyas was one of the students representing Sifu Elmond Leung’s schools in the Bay Area’s annual Chinese Martial Arts Tournaments starting 2011. 

​In 2013, when a couple high profile Wing Tsun schools from North America became independent from the  IWTA, Sifu Elmond Leung also retired from the association. Matyas followed his Sifu and helped him establish ELeung Wing Tsun in Millbrae, and became his instructor.  
During the time of Sifu Leung’s medical leave from teaching (2015-16) Matyas filled in the void. He ran all classes of ELeung Wing Tsun with the help of fellow instructor Brian Chung, and under his Sifu's supporting guidance.
In 2017 Sifu Elmond Leung was able to return to the classes and appointed Matyas Tamas to Sifu. 
Sifu Matyas had his first two students follow his competing footsteps in August 2019, when they participated in the 11th ITKFA Chinese Martial Arts Championship in Concord, CA. They both had a great time training for the tournament  and enjoyed competing with good results. ELeung Wing Tsun’s classes were relocated to Burlingame the same month.

Sifu Elmond Leung's passing on April 11th, 2020 was received with great sadness. SiGong’s kindness, peaceful mind, virtuous force and humble personality will remain  guidelines on the path our students take.

What Our Students Are Saying 

YELP
"The teacher, Sifu Matyas, is one of the most patient and skilled instructors I've experienced. Over a few months, he taught us basic techniques and defensive maneuvers combined with practical and efficient movements.  We have made a lot of progress on our skills and I have been very impressed with the results to both my physical health, physique and muscle tone, as well as sharpening my reaction skills."  - B. Y. 

"This has been the most interesting and enjoyable of my experiences learning martial arts. Lessons are highly individualized based on your skill level and the pace at which you learn.  After group exercises at the beginning of each class session, the instruction is typically broken into small working groups of 3 and 4 students who are learning the same skills as demonstrated and coached by an instructor." -Jonathan S.

"Instruction and training is geared toward the individuals ability, hence one's development is in a way dependent on ones desire and commitment to learn. You will feel very comfortable in this school and accepted by everyone training there.." - Lester Y. 


​"A great place to learn Wing Chun. How do I know? I've been to many schools in many places. The way they teach is very methodical and you'll learn a lot in just six months of training. Also, they do stress emphasis on footwork, lots and lots of it which I found refreshing." - Tony M.
