Location: UBC Life 5 (bottom floor of the old SUB) Khoe.

The AMS Wing Chun Kung Fu club was started in 1981 by Post doctoral researcher in Chemical Engineering Dr. G.K. Sifu Khoe was trained by one of Ip Man’s original disciples Wang Kiu known in the Hong Kong Wing Chun community as the king of Chi Sau (sticky hands). After 41 years as a club at UBC the class is now led by a friendly group of Sifu Khoe’s students including Sifu Khoe’s final assistant in

structor, Larry and is co taught by Sifu Khoe’s student Jeremy (also taught by one of Sifu Khoe’s early students) and administered by another one of Sifu Khoe’s students, Chris. As this is a student club we have a student executives that help us to run and maintain the clubs continued functioning. Sifu Khoe used to say Wing Chun is the best engineered martial art. As legend has it this system was created during the Qing dynasty by two women as a way to defend against larger and stronger opponents. As such this system is highly adaptive to different people and does not require the practitioner to be an amazing athlete, physically strong and/or flexible, but a willingness to learn how to apply body mechanics and physics to recycle the attackers energy directly back into them along the center line. We focus on practical applications over fancy movements and view this art more as a philosophy of movement than a set of golden rules.

Sadly after nearly 45 years in operation this school of Wing Chun is no longer training. I will keep this page up so that past members have a place to meet and share memories.

The AMS Wing Chun Club at UBC is currently in danger of being deconstituted by the Alma Mater Society, the governing body behind the clubs of UBC. In other words, we are at risk of being shut down because we only have 13 of the required 25 minimum students enrolled. We are planning to send an appeal to this decision by gathering signatures in a petition. You can help us out greatly by responding to the google form linked below to express your support for the club to remain intact. Completing the response should take less than 5 minutes. Please send your response as soon as possible, NO LATER THAN JULY 16TH AT 5 PM PST, as the final decision on our deconstitution will be held on July 17th by the AMS.

Thank you very much for your support of the club!

Made famous by Bruce Lee, the one inch punch is both practical on its own or as part of the kinetic linking that that gives our punch power. The shorter fellow is the president of the club and this was his first day learning. Larry demonstrates at the end.
