Sifu Wan Kam-leung was born in 1945 in Po On village in the Guangdong Province of Southern China. His interest in Martial Arts began at an early age and by his teens he was learning various traditional styles of Kung Fu from Masters in and around neighbouring villages.
In 1958, Wan moved to Hong Kong to join his Father. His interests in Kung Fu continued and in 1962 he started to learn Wing Chun from the late Sifu Wong Shun-leung.
At the time, Wong was just about to open his first Wing Chun school, a small flat above Nathan Road, Kowloon. Wan quickly took to the style and became a close friend of Wong.
In 1969 Wan became a Sifu in his own right and began active teaching.
In 1973 Master Wong Shun Leung and Sifu Wan Kam Leung were invited by "New Martial Hero Magazine" for an interview with a Wing Chun Kung Fu demonstration.
In 1979 Wan spent time in Beijing, China's capital where he learned styles of Hei Gung ( Qigong ) from numerous Masters there.
