Grandmaster Chan Kam Shing (Chris Chan) was born in Hong Kong in the Year of the Dragon. In 1955, he witnessed Wing Chun Kung Fu for the first time. This experience made such an impression on the young Chris Chan, he immediately sought the acceptance of the legendary master Ip Man and became a student.

Late 19th century, in the city of Fu San, Canton Province, Southern China, the famous Wing Chun instructor Master Chan Wah Shun taught only an exclusive group of students. Seven-year-old Ip Man had a burning desire to learn. When approached, Master Chan Wah Shun was impressed with young Ip Man's passion and became his last pupil.
