History
Prior to meeting Yip Man, Leung Sheung trained in many styles of kung fu including Choi Li Fut, White Eyebrow, and Dragon style. But it was Yip Man's Wing Chun in which Leung Sheung would dedicate his life beginning in 1949. As Yip Man's first Hong Kong student, Leung Sheung was the older kung fu brother of Yip Man's other students. All of whom, including Bruce Lee, showed him high respect.
In 1956, Leung Sheung began to teach Wing Chun publicly.
