Grandmaster Garrett Gee will be following up on his recent visit to the Arizona Kwoon on the weekend of November 11th thru 13th and will be conducting another public workshop further showcasing the Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun family Chi Sau methods as preserved and passed down through the Hung Gun Boxer society.
The Wing Chun of the Hung Gun or “Red Bandana” Boxer society has a rich and unique history from its Shaolin origins through such notable ancestors as Cheung Ng aka Tan Sau Ng early 1700’s, whose name was derived from his peerless use of Tan Sau to express the whole art through one technique. Later in the mid 1800’s, Hung Gun Biu a high ranking member of the Hung Gun Wui or “Red Boxer Society” who made a significant contribution to the art known today as Hung Fa Yi wing Chun Kuen. The art continues on to the present day thru the efforts of the current lineage holder Grandmaster Garrett Gee who started teaching private students on his arrival in the United States in 1975 and opened his teaching up to the public from around the year 2000.
Since his first exposure to the public and in recognition of all our ancestors who went through so much to protect and preserve this branch of Wing Chun through a turbulent period of Chinese history Grandmaster Gee has tirelessly worked to spread the art of Hung Fa Yi to any who genuinely identify with his teachings. He continues to travel to all corners of the globe researching the roots of our art and meeting countless members of the martial arts community, Wing Chun and otherwise. He is always received with the utmost respect and his credentials are recognized by all who meet him, making him privy to much inside information.
This workshop we are pleased that we will be having visitors from Europe and the Eastern USA attending with an interest in representing the art of hung Fa Yi wing Chun in their respective locations adding to the existing branches in China USA and Brazil.
The public workshop is open to all martial artists regardless of style or experience and will span two days and will be followed by private training on the third day. As always anyone with an interest in attending please contact myself or the WHFWCKA HQ thru the information listed below.
