“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 Tenth Anniversary Edition of Wing Chun Illustrated features Sifu Chan Chee Man. The late Sifu Chan was one of the last legitimate senior students of Grandmaster Ip Man. He started learning Wing Chun at the Restaurant Workers Union in 1954—without even knowing the name of his famous Wing Chun teacher!
In this insightful interview, Sifu Chan shares some interesting stories about his late teacher and how Ip Man mentored him. In those days at the Restaurant Workers Union, Ip Man was much more active than he was later.
This edition features other goodies as well.

“Wing Chun Illustrated does a fine job in presenting the different lineages of Wing Chun in an unbiased way. It also sets an example that is admirable—one that other Kung Fu styles should follow.”
—Pedro Cepero Yee
“Always excellently done, always thought-provoking, always interesting content, very well balanced, and always presented with grace and respect for all. I wish that all our Wing Chun brothers and sisters were as mindful in their day-to-day interactions with each other.”
—Larry Butler
