Patriarch Ip Man
1893–1972
Read biography
Grandmaster Ip Man is the pivotal figure who transitioned Ving Tsun from a secretive clan practice to a publicly taught system in Hong Kong.
Although he preferred to teach without fanfare, he supported the establishment of the Ving Tsun Athletic Association in 1967, allowing the system to gain legal standing and survive the changing times.
He commissioned the preservation of the system's wisdom through the carving of the Kuen Kuit (martial proverbs) into stone, a task he entrusted to his disciple Moy Yat.

Patriarch Moy Yat
1938–2001
Read biography
A close disciple of Ip Man, Moy Yat was the archetype of the Scholar-Warrior (Wen Wu), combining martial prowess with classical scholarship, painting, and seal carving.
He was the first Ving Tsun master to emigrate to the West (New York) after establishing a respected presence in Hong Kong.
His greatest contributions include the concept of 'Kung Fu Life' (Sam Faat) - transmitting the system through daily living rather than just technical instruction - and the decoding of the system's internal logic through the 'Sau, Poh, Lei' paradigm.
He established the Moy Yat Ving Tsun Denomination to ensure the 'orthodox continuity' (Jing Tung) of the system for future generations.
