However, even before the making of the films, way back in 1991 in Kuala Lumpur, an 18-year-old school-leaver named Kahar Saidun was already learning a modified version of Wing Chun – known as Yip Kin Wing Chun – from sifu Yip Fook Choy.
Kahar, who is also a business consultant and motivational expert, told Bernama that it was his late father, Saidun Jasmon, a Javanese silat practitioner, who encouraged him to take up Wing Chun. Fook Choy, who passed away last year at the age of 83, had about 20 students then and Kahar, as well as an Indian boy, were the only non-Chinese among them.
“I was told to practise the steps repeatedly until the sifu was satisfied. And, only after three months, my sifu proceeded to teach me the next movement. Only then did I realise that in order to master Wing Chun, one must master the most basic steps first, and this called for perseverance,” he said, adding that learning the art also tested one’s endurance, patience and psychological well-being.
“He just came towards me and flipped my body using only one hand and I fell face down. I was startled and“That was the day I realised that the art of self-defence is not about looking for someone to fight with but about being humble at all times,” he said.
