biography (con't)
Student Of GrandMaster Yip Ching. Certified Instructor under him and in the VTAA of Hong Kong. Also lifetime member of VTAA.
The Ving Tsun Self Defense Academy is the only school in Chicago teaching direct Ip Man/Ip Ching lineage Ving Tsun (Wing Chun).
The VTSDA is dedicated to teaching Ving Tsun Kung Fu as it has been passed on directly from Master Ip Ching.
After traveling to Hong Kong to learn the Ving Tsun system intimately from his Sifu, Master Ip Ching, Sifu Matthew Johnson founded the VTSDA in order to teach Ving Tsun directly and purely, just as he learned it.
A participant in both the opening of the Ip Man Tong in 2002 and the 2nd Wing Chun World Conference in 2005, Matt Johnson is well respected in Hong Kong, China, and the UK. With 20 years of Ving Tsun experience, he has represented Ip Ching's Ving Tsun against many martial arts and kung fu styles.
