Leung Ting
Leung Ting (Chinese: 梁挺; born 28 February 1947) is a Hong Kong martial artist, publisher, choreographer, screenwriter, director, and former actor. He is the last direct 'closed-door' disciple of grandmaster Yip Man. He is also the founder of International WingTsun Association.
Leung Ting garnered fame from spreading his WingTsun Kungfu system globally since the 1970s. He has been invited to over 50 countries and regions including mainland China, UK, America, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Greece, Czech and India for military training and private teaching.
In April 2025, Leung Ting received an award from Dr. István Simicskó, a member of the Hungarian National Assembly and former Minister of Defence for the Hungarian Government recognizing GGM Leung Ting’s contributions to the spread of WingTsun Kungfu in Hungary.
Born in Hong Kong in 1947, Leung began studying Wing Tsun aged 13 from Leung Sheung, the most senior disciple of Yip Man, then later directly under Yip Man as his last direct 'closed-door' disciple.
Appointed by Grandmaster Ip Man, Leung served as head instructor on the board of directors for the Ving Tsun Athletic association between Dec 1969 to May 1970. When the Ving Tsun Athletic association moved from its former premises of 438 Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei, Leung Ting remained at the location to found his own Wing Tsun Gymnasium (1970) and later Association (1973).
Leung Ting is the founder and president of the International WingTsun Association. Leung chose the spelling of Wing Tsun to differentiate his teachings from those of other Wing Chun schools, and to keep them from passing off their style as his own. (There is no standard romanization of Cantonese; the Chinese characters remain the same.)
Among the achievements in his career outside of teaching and writing about Wing Tsun, Leung has been a fight director in some Hong Kong films. Leung was the director and screenwriter for It's a Mad, Mad, Mad Kung Fu World! (大踢爆), a humoristic documentary on the history and culture of kung fu. Leung appeared on episode 1 of the first season of the BBC show Mind, Body & Kick Ass Moves; a 10 part series on martial arts masters of the east hosted by Chris Crudelli.
In 1968, he was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature of Hong Kong Baptist College, majoring in Chinese Language and Literature. In the same year, Yip Man accepted Leung as his closed-door disciple. Leung opened a WingTsun martial art class at Baptist College, becoming the first person to introduce Chinese martial arts to a Hong Kong tertiary institution. Leung Ting is the founder and president of the International WingTsun Association. By the 1990s, the IWTA had an estimated 3000 instructor branches spread over 65+ countries.
