Lo Man Kam

From 1950 Grandmaster Lo Man Kam practised Wing Chun for ten years in Hong Kong as his uncle’s, Yip Man’s, third student (Leung Sheung, Lok Yiu, Lo Man Kam). As there were more and more students in the school and Yip Man had several groups to teach, at times he asked some of them to help out with the teaching and so under his supervision they learned how to teach and hand over Wing Chun.
As previously Yip Man was one of the high-ranking police officers and instructor of the government of the exiled Chinese Republic in Taiwan, in 1960 he asked master Lo Man Kam to go Taiwan and serve with the military intelligence agency. Of course, master Lou comlied with his uncle’s and Si fu’s request and he moved from Hong Kong to Taiwan where he still lives and teaches.

Lo Man Kam Si fu is known and respected master worldwide and Wing Chun expert in Taiwan. His public school was opened in 1975 in Taiwan’s capitol city, in Taipei in order to comply with his master’s wish and make his Wing Chun known all over the world. Thanks to his knowledge and his love of teaching Wing Chun, numerous foreign people come continuously to the school too in Taiwan to join the Chinese who study there, among whom it is not rare to find students who are already a master of a different style (Tai Ji Quan, Tong Long, Taekwon-do, stb.).
During the last thirty years he taught more than two thousand students from the USA, Canada, Panama, Brazilia, Rebuplic of Dominica, England, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Rumania, Danmark, Belgium, Hungary, Spain, Austria, Izrael, Saud-Arabia, Japan, Korea, Indonezia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapur, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Mexico, South Africa, Madagascar, Taiwan, from Hong Kong, and from Macao. Altogether from 35 countries on all six continents. It is also interesting to mention that he travels to the sultan of Brunei (the richest man on the planet) for a few weeks every year and teaches Wing Chun to the sultan and his brother. Currently, he also teaches martial arts at Taiwan Police and to the special forces.
As a guest-instuctor, he also taught the Hong Kong, the Virginia, the French, and the English and Swiss police units. Recently his book and video cassette about close combat in the police forces were published in which he demonstrates how one can protect himself bare-handed against the various attacks with weapons or bare hands.
The Si fu also uses various weapons during the usual Wing Chun instruction such as knives, tonfa, baseball rocket, to demonstrate how to protect ourselves against these attacks bare-handed and also to show why a certain technique must be performed in a certain way. And what proves more the efficiency of the work of the Si fuh than the number of the cups and medals won by his students.

Currently Lo Man Kam Wing Chun schools can be found in the following countries:

In Asia: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand
In the USA
In Europe: Switzerland, Germany, France, Norway, Italy, Hungary

Si fu Lo Man Kam regularly gives public seminars where he not only shows the techniques of Wing Chun and practices them with the participants but he also talks about its theoretical background and tactic. He encourages his students to learn not only how to do a technique but also why it should be done that way. He does not want students to repeat blindly the techniques but he wants them to be thinking and analytical martial artists. Since March 2003 he comes to Hungary on a regular basis and gives seminars where several students of Wing Chun and other martial arts participated.
