On November 22, 1998, Grandmaster William Cheung was inducted into the 1998 Blitz Hall of Fame, receiving the “Lifetime Tribute for Martial Arts” award. He was called the Master of Masters; he was considered by Bruce Lee as the “supreme fighter”: William Cheuk Hing Cheung was the sole heir to the traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu system, and was the person responsible for introducing Bruce Lee to Wing Chun Kung Fu.

In 1951, at the age of ten, Cheung began his training in Wing Chun Kung Fu under the late Grandmaster Yip Man. From 1954 to 1958, Cheung was a student of Grandmaster Yip Man. It was during this time that he inherited the complete system of Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Between 1957 and 1958, Cheung won the Hong Kong Kung Fu elimination contests, defeating opponents with many years of experience. In early 1954, Cheung introduced Bruce Lee to Grandmaster Yip Man and became his personal trainer. Over the course of four and a half years, the two men developed a very close friendship, and Cheung passed on to Bruce Lee many of his techniques and helped develop his overall confidence and fighting experience. In later years, he would use these techniques in competitions and also in his films.

In 1959, after completing his training with Grandmaster Yip Man, Cheung left Hong Kong to pursue an academic career at the Australian National University in Canberra. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Economics.

After moving to Melbourne to teach Wing Chun professionally in 1973, Cheung began operating a very successful Martial Arts School. In 1976 he was elected President of the Australian Kung Fu Federation.

Cheung was appointed Chief Instructor of the U.S. Seventh Fleet based in Yukosuka, Japan, from 1978 to 1980. During this time, he was responsible for the intensive close combat mental and physical development program for Marines.

Many of Cheung’s students achieved international recognition for their martial arts prowess. In 1982, his students won the heavyweight and middleweight divisions, respectively, at the World Invitational Kung Fu Championships held in Hong Kong. In addition, Cheung himself was inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame in 1983 as Kung Fu Artist of the Year and again in 1989, into the Inside Kung Fu Hall of Fame as Martial Arts Instructor of the Year.

From 1979 onwards, Grandmaster Cheung and many of his juniors conducted special programs for special police and special operations groups in the US and other armed forces, teaching unarmed combat, restraining and disarming assailants, and a firearms retention program.

It was at Harvard University in Boston in 1984 that Grandmaster Cheung set the world speed record of 8.3 punches per second.

To promote his ideas and to encourage and enliven the art, Cheung has authored a number of books for the general public, including “Wing Chun Bil Jee”, “Wing Chun Butterfly Swords”, “Wing Chun Dragon Pole”, “Advanced Wing Chun”, “How to Develop the Power of Chi”, “Wing Chun Kung Fu” (in French), “A Comparison Between Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do” Volumes I and II. He has also produced several videos, including the well-known “The Wing Chun Way”, “Tao of Wing Chun” and “PRO-TEKT: A Personal Protection Program”.

Since his early training in Martial Arts, Grandmaster Cheung has become an expert in Meridians, Pressure Points and Meditation dealing with internal energies. Over the past ten years, he has used this knowledge to develop many successful programs in the treatment of sports injuries and teaching stress management. As a result, Grandmaster Cheung’s seminars, workshops and treatments are now highly sought after throughout the world.
