Through Sifu Fung's efforts, Wing Chun has emerged from relative obscurity to become one of the most popular and respected martial arts in Australia. His Academies are regarded as among the most professional in the world. Sifu Fung is one of the rare exponents of martial art who has combined true understanding, with a high level of practical ability, and a genuine willingness to teach.
