On my recent visit to Europe, I stopped in Athens to see my good friend, Sifu Panagiotis Brebos, and spent some time with him and his students there. I was happy to see that an interview I did some time ago for “Mavri Zoni”, Greece’s martial arts magazine, had finally been published.

*Please note that either through misunderstanding with the writer, or through translation of my article into English, the following error occurred: Mr Gilbert Lam, my very first Wing Chun instructor is said to have been a student of the late Sifu Wong Shun Leung. My training, however little it was, that came from Sifu Wong Shun Leung, was taught to me by my sihing, Mr James Ng (who introduced all of us to Mr Lam), who left Boston to live in Hong Kong in the late 1960’s and trained with him there for one year, and who returned to Boston to train me and others in our private Wing Chun “club”, what he learned from the late master Wong – there is NO direct claim stated or implied herein, that I have ever received any direct training from Sifu Wong.

2013 Cyprus Seminar

Economic conditions on this small island in the Mediterranean took a turn for the worse since my first visit here last November. But the toughness and resilience of the Cypriot students of Sifu Yiannos Christoforou’s Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy shone through as we picked up from where we left off last year and had another great training session.

Besides Sifu Yiannos’ crew, joining us again was Sifu Stavros Kypragoras and some of his students and we also had some new friends from some of Cyprus’ other Wing Chun schools who came to share in the fun and training.

It was good to work with Sifu Yiannos, his students and all the others who came out to participate. Despite some tough conditions in their country at the moment, these Cypriots demonstrated that it’ll take more than that to keep them from getting in their Wing Chun training!
