November 29, 2006

On behalf of the WORLD VING TSUN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, Sifu Gary Lam was awarded Sifu of the Year 2006 and received an award for the World Ving Tsun Athletic Association Hall of Fame for his contributions to Wing Chun/Ving Tsun. The award was presented by Robert Chu, WVTAA Vice President - USA, Founding Member and Life Member.

Lam Sifu was very happy to receive this honor and sees Ving Tsun/Wing Chun as one big family. He stated that everyone loves Ving Tsun/Wing Chun and we should all work together and research the system together and that no one is best! His intent is that we should all work together for the best of Ving Tsun/Wing Chun.

Lam Sifu was presented this award for his numerous DVD's instructing on various aspects of Ving Tsun/Wing Chun which are available at his website at: www.garylamwingchun.com. His approach to the Ving Tsun is that of a simple and practical system.

Master Lam would be happy to meet Darrell Jordan and other WORLD VING TSUN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION members and looks forward to working and researching with them in the future.

"Even though we may have different Sifu, we all share the same intention and love for this art" say Master Lam.

About the: WORLD VING TSUN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Be it announced that World Ving Tsun Athletic Association, (WVTAA) has been established in order to propagate the scientific-based martial art of Ving Tsun. The means by which WVTAA intends to do this is through seminars and teaching activities, Internet promotions, on line learning, video/DVD recordings, and aggressive expansion of its instructor certification program. FURTHER, be it resolved that WVTAA shall recruit members as feasible for the pursuance of its mission above and shall continue with regular and systematic training of Ving Tsun.

I would like to congratulate Sifu Lam as well. Though Sifu Gary Lam is unfamiliar to me - which is not because Sifu Lam isn't well known, but rather, because I'm quite new to ving tsun! - I'm glad that awards like these reach alot of people who study ving tsun/wing chun and shed some light on those who contributed greatly to spread the martial art of ving tsun/wing chun.

That said, thanks for letting us know Gert-Jan. I'll see to checking out Sifu Lam, and likely his material as well.

EDIT ---
Oh, I forgot to say that one of the links is 'broken'. Though it directs you to the gary lam wing chun website, it says it's temporarily unavailable. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon!

Hey Ernie!

Welcome on our forum brother and thank you for passing my congratulation on to Sifu Lam. It is just great to see it is going to the right person. His skill and knowledge is exceptional, but moreover he has a great personality.

And also thank you for your kind words to me! The feeling is absolutely mutual, I also gained a lot of energy from our conversations and training together. Your students are very lucky to have you as their coach (I won’t say the ‘S’ word, not to worry -_-), you are a very honest man and not exactly without skills yourself! Keep it going.

Take care buddy and talk to you soon.

GJ.
