By his teenage years however the challenge fights continued, and-as they are inextricably linked to extortion rackets of secret societies-Cheung's high-achieving family saw him as a source of embarrassment. This fighting was a concern and was frowned upon by his father, who was a police inspector hence, Cheung avoided becoming involved in gangs. At age 11, Cheung's challenge matches were on the school playground, and his fighting style was Tai Chi Chuan, which was not sufficient to elevate him among the youth of Hong Kong. In the 1950s, Cheung grew up in Kowloon, where fighting skills were considered a measure of self-worth and pride. Ĭheung is responsible for introducing Bruce Lee to his master Ip Man when they were teenagers in Hong Kong. He is the recipient of a Masters Award for lifetime achievement in Kung Fu from Martial Arts Australia. He also heads the sanctioning body of TWC, the Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association (GTWCKFA). William Cheung or Cheung Cheuk-hing (張卓慶, pinyin: Zhāng Zhuóqìng) (born October 10, 1940) is a Hong Kong Wing Chun kung fu practitioner and currently the Grandmaster of his lineage of Wing Chun, entitled Traditional Wing Chun (TWC). In this Chinese name, the family name is Cheung.
