Ho Kam Ming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ho Kam Ming is a practitioner and teacher of Wing Chun Kung Fu. He was of the second generation of Yip Man's students. He has spent all his life studying Wing Chun and was one of the few men to complete the entire system under Yip Man.
Ho Kam Ming was held in high regard by Yip Man. When Yip Man became ill and had to go to the hospital, he asked Ho Kam Ming to take him there. Ho Kam Ming often visited Yip Man in the hospital and took care of him in both the hospital and at home. Yip Man revealed many of the finer points of Wing Chun to Ho Kam Ming. Yip Man also appointed Ho Kam Ming to assume the responsibility of instructing his private students. By this time, Ho Kam Ming had already opened his first school in Macao and another in Hong Kong. He also organized the Ho Kam Ming Wing Chun Association which is authorized by the Yip Man Wing Chun Association. Today, Ho Kam Ming is well known in both Hong Kong and Macao. His full contact Wing Chun team has fought in martial arts tournaments throughout Southeast Asia and has achieved considerable recognition.
Ho Kam Ming's most famous student is Augustine Fong who is now one of the top ranking Wing Chun masters. Fong carries on Ho Kam Ming's lineage through Fongs Wing Chun Gung Fu Federation.
Ho Kam Ming is regarded by many as the current Wing Chun Grandmaster (along with his student Fong). Many believe his lineage superior to Leung Ting and even Yip Man's own decendents. He is the most famous second generation student of Yip Man.
