biography (con't)
Fung Chun, is one of the elders of the Wing Chun Kuen Clan, as well as one of the last living fourth generation Wing Chun Masters. He is a native of Kulo Village, and learned Wing Chun Kuen from Leung Jans student Wong Wah Sum (age 76), at the tender age of 17, in ruffly 1938.
He was worked for a living with snakes, and curing snake bites. For many years, he built up an immuntiy to the various venoms. At one point, he got bit by a particular breed of snake and became violently ill. The doctore had to remove his thumb to save his life.
In modern times, he runs a bone setting clinic, while practising his own Wing Chun methods.
Fung Chun is the patriarch of Kulo Village Wing Chun Clan, and has passed the art down to his son Fung Keung and Fung Chu.
Kulo Village Fung Family Wing Chun Kuen, was passed down by famed Wing Chun Kuen boxer Leung Jan, when he retired back to his native Kulo Village, at age 73. He taught three villagers, including Wong Wah Sum, a distinctly differant version, of Wing Chun Kuen, compared to what he passed down in Foshan. This version, comprised exclusivly of San Sik, was said to be the set, Leung Jan learned from his first teacher Leung Yee Tai . Thought by many to be the older method of preserving the Wing Chun Kuen system, the San Sik also placed focus on use of the Pian San or Side Body methods.
It was Wong Wah Sum, that than passed the system down to the Fung Family, who still preserve the system, just as it was passed down to them.
