Ng Wah Sum, AKA lightning hands, was one of the last of the Wing Chun fighting Champions from Grandmaster Yip Mans School.
Retired from work, he would teach Wing Chun at the association. When in Hong Kong with my students I would often meet him after morning training sessions, as he taught after Master Ip Chun’s class.
In the late 1960's Ng was one of the Wing Chun fighters that brought credit and fame to Wing Chun fighting. Grandmaster Ip Man was very proud of his student.
Ng Wah Sum was a classmate and friend of Bruce Lee. He told me once that Bruce Lee's main assault move was Bil Jee into chain punches, groin kick and low side kick. I was fortunate to learn a little Chi Gerk from him. We would often talk fight science when I visited Hong Kong.
It’s really sad that he has gone - a great loss to the Yip Man Wing Chun family and Wing Chun Kung Fu. One Behalf of East Anglia Wing Chun Members we send our condolences to all his family close friend and students. Now at rest with many other great kung fu brothers .
Rest in Peace Si Sock (Kung Fu Uncle)
