Kenneth Chung (Chung Maannin) and his students

The early years in the U.S.

Sifu Kenneth Chung doing a ma bo (horse stance posture) during his earlier days when he practiced a more powerful form of wing chun. In 1973 sifu Chung returned to Hong Kong and was convinced by sifu Leung to change to a softer nei lu/noi lo (internal way/approach). Ray Van Raamsdonk's essay, "A Path to Wing Chun" presents an excellent summary of sifu Chung's soft approach.
