Lineage



Our lineage is a proud and explorative Ip Man line. We come from the Leung Sheung branch of Ip Man. Leung Sheung was the original #1 student of Ip Man. The line continued down with Kenneth Chung to Ben Der. This is where an amazing and historic branch in our family tree occured. Ken Werner brought the line from California to North Florida, where Karl Godwin scientifically put Wing Chun through the scientific method using geometry, physics, and anatomy.
