Author Description

“Wing Chun Illustrated is one of the best martial arts publications I’ve had the pleasure of reading. The articles are interesting, informative and very well written with great full-colour photos to accompany them.” —Sifu Jef Sutherland Founded by Mui Fa Publishing in 2011, Wing Chun Illustrated is the world's premier publication devoted to Wing Chun, regardless of lineage. NO LINEAGE POLITICS! Published bi-monthly, each 60-page edition comes packed with feature stories by and about the greatest exponents of Wing Chun. The October 2017 edition of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Michael Wong—or as he’s better known in the martial arts world, Master Wong. Many probably consider him one of the most controversial figures in the Wing Chun world today, and while many traditionalists criticise him for not openly revealing the sources of his martial knowledge, he clearly gives the public something they hunger for—how else has his YouTube channel been able to reach 1.3 million subscribers? Master Wong originally came to the UK at the age of ten as a refugee from Vietnam and first took up martial arts as a result of being bullied at school. Over the years, he has grown from a schoolyard victim into a respected martial artist, recognised for his passionate, no-nonsense approach to martial arts and life, which has garnered him fame and recognition in a world where traditional martial arts struggle to adapt to modernity. This edition features other goodies as well.
