Group History
Wing Chun:
Sifu Alson started his Wing Chun training in the Bay Area at the Pena Mohai, Palo Alto location in 1987 with Grand Master Kenneth Chung. In those six years, Sifu Alson was an avid practitioner gaining much insight on his prior martial arts experiences in Hong Kong. He was in the 3rd batch of Grand Master Chung’s students and with the guidance from Grand Master Chung and several of his senior class mates, Kam Chu, Don Cheung, Patrick Au, Peter Cheng and others, he had an opportunity to truly flourish as a marital artist. In 1991 he won the covenant title of “Chi Sau” Champion, from an International Chinese Martial Art’s tournament. Sifu Alson continues to expand his knowledge and understanding of Wing Chun.
In 1993, Sifu Alson began teaching in Union City, CA. Classes were being held in Dai Si Hing (Senior Student) Johnny Lo’s garage. The class grew rapidly with no advertisement bringing in neighboring kids and adults alike. What made this class special was that there was no tuition fee, only a genuine interest in passing down Wing Chun.
In 2007, United Cities Wing Chun Student Association moved to Union City Lerisure Services with the assistance of Stephen Jeung, who has been teaching at various Union City Community Centers since 1999. Stephen being an instructor, saw an opportunity to have a truly special instructor and decided that he would teach the beginner’s classes and ease them to Sifu Alson’s tutelage into the intermediate and advance classes. Today enrollment and quarterly fees are required for the facility, but the goal remains the same, keeping cost as low and affordable for students. All quarterly fees go directly to paying the Union City Leisure Services to operate its facilities.
