Foshan City Yong Chun Quan Research Association
Since the "open-door" policy was implemented in
China since 1978, Foshan's Yong Chun Quan is slowly
gaining attention internationally. The better known
are Lun Jia and Pan Nam because their students have
published articles concerning them in the West. Lun
Jia learned from Yip Man when he was in Foshan, and
Pan Nam learned from Zhao Jiu, the brother of Zhao
Yun in Hong Kong.
Foshan has a long history of martial art and it is
very well know since 1821, Foshan is also the home
of Hong Quan and Hong Sheng Cai Li Fo. Foshan The
Foshan Chin Woo Athletic Association was established
in 1921, and its training hall was erected in 1936.
Chin Woo was not active due to the period of
political instability in China prior to the
open-door policy, but it was re-activated in 1986.
With the aid of the Foshan Government’s Wush
Committee in 1993, Liang Guang Man has established
more of less his own personal Foshan City Yong Chun
Quan Research Association. Due to his low status in
the Yong Chun Family Tree and political association,
he did not gain any kind of support from the Yong
Chun community in Foshan.

gained the support of the Yong Chun community in
Foshan as well as other part of China and overseas
since its establishment. The composition of the
committee is the following:
