BRUCE LEE'S CLOSE FRIEND WILLIAM CHEUNG SPECIAL GUEST AT UK's SENI 2010

Bruce Lee’s close friend, teacher, training partner and Grandmaster of Wing Chun William Cheung will be attending Seni Show where he will be doing a Q&A and conducting a Wing Chun seminar. Grandmaster William Cheung, direct descendent of the famed Wing Chun master Yip Man, was one of Bruce Lee’s best friends. In 1951, at the age of ten, Cheung started training in the Wing Chun system under the late Grandmaster Yip man. In early 1954 Cheung introduced his childhood friend and companion Bruce Lee to Grandmaster Yip Man. Throughout the four and half years Cheung and Lee cultivated a very close friendship, with both men training and socialising together. Cheung passed onto Bruce Lee many techniques and has been credited as Lee’s teacher in the early years of his formal martial arts training in Hong Kong. The Little Dragon spent countless hours learning from Cheung in addition to the guidance of Yip Man. Bruce considered Cheung to be the “ultimate fighter” at a time when street gangs were rife in Hong Kong and matters were often settled with fists and kicks. Bruce Lee worked with, taught, and crossed paths with many people during his life time. Some barely spent quality time with the Little Dragon, other’s knew him to a certain extent. or trained with him to a degree. Then there are those who developed a special bond and were close friends of the late icon.

William Cheung is no doubt one of the elite people who rightly fits into this category, and his insights into his friendship with Bruce Lee are unique and intriguing. For all Wing Chun students, Bruce Lee enthusiasts and martial arts exponents regardless of what style they practise, this is a rare opportunity to meet Bruce Lee’s childhood best friend and take part in a seminar taught by Grandmaster William Cheung.

William Cheung will teach an exclusive Wing Chun seminar at Seni show on Sat 29th May at 1:30pm – 3:30pm and conduct a Q&A session on Sun 30th May at 4pm.

I was unfortunate to catch a horrible Australian Wing Chun flick that featured William Cheung and I have to say, he was mediocre at best. He did a demo in one scene that was horrible (punches a mile away) and a fight scene that was OK but nothing special. For a guy who supposedly learned some secrets he sure looked rather average at best.

Of course there was also a picture of Cheung with Bruce Lee.
