Sifu Tony Massengill has spent the last 30+ years in the study and research of Ip Man's fighting method. He has trained
and researched the system with several of Ip Man's direct students, including Ip Man's own sons, Grandmaster Ip
Chun and Ip Ching, in who's lineage Massengill received a Master Level certification, through their senior disciple,
Master Samuel Kwok.
The Wing Chun Massengill teaches is multi faceted. The foundation is the Ip Man Traditional Method. After the
student has become well grounded in this method, they are introduced to some of the modifications and nuances
that some of Ip Man's students developed.
In Massengill's words "I have learned a lot during my training and research into the Wing Chun system. Some of the
teachers I have trained with have had some very unique ideas about the use and application of Wing Chun. Dispite the
fact that they had trained with the same instructor (Ip Man) they have developed their Wing Chun in very different ways.
I personally don't treat any method as if it was handed down on stone tablets from God himself. There are Many ways of
training and applying Wing Chun...and many of them have merit! I teach a combination of these methods.
Basically I am attempting to teach the Best Wing Chun I am capable of teaching based on all I have learned up until the
present. However, I am a student first and an Instructor second. So I still continue in my research and am adding to my
personal knowledge daily. As I learn something useful, it is added to my teaching curriculum."
The following is a list of some of the Instructors Massengill has had the opportunity to train with and research the Wing
Chun system. Sifu Massengill would like to express his appreciation to these instructors for sharing their knowledge.
