Our club has the pleasure of visiting Hong Kong on a regular basis to train at Grandmaster Ip Chun's headquarters in Kowloon. In November 2002 we had the honour and privilege of taking part in the opening ceremony of the Ip Man museum in Foshan, China. In 2004, Grandmaster Ip Chun invited us to join him in Hong Kong for his 80th birthday celebrations and again in 2009 for his 85th birthday!

Below are photos of some of the exciting times that we have experienced during various training trips to Hong Kong and China. 2010 & 2011 trip photos coming soon!
