It
is a normal tradition in Foshan that Master-student relationship
is based on character as well as martial prowess.
Although
a practitioner may achieve high level of combat, it is the able
and responsible practitioner that is selected to pass on the knowledge
of the Wing Chun art. Therefore, only 16 students of Grandmaster
Yui Kil's have acquired the whole system.
Grandmaster
Yui Kil accepted Master Wai-Po Tang as his last research student
in 1987. The following year after Master Tang's tour of the Far
East, Grandmaster Yui Kil awarded Master Wai-Po Tang the 'Wing Chun
System award', also historical award, development and others.
Some
of these awards are hung in Master Tang's residence. Some are displayed
in Eskilstuna, Sweden.
