There
are several different lineages or families of Wing Chun - though
they are all members of the same great martial family, they frequently
have different views or variations on techniques. The lineage taught
by Sifu Chan is that of Leung Jan, which is sometimes referred to
as Ip Man lineage (one of the most well known and skilled Masters
of this line). Below is the line of Sifu Chan's Wing Chun lineage,
based upon accounts given by Master Ip Ching and Grand Master Ip
Man.

There are many more students and masters
that do not appear on these lists - but these "family trees"
should help you to understand where the Leung Jan lineage has come
from, and how it has been passed on from generation to generation,
from Sifu to student, down to Sifu Chan, and on to his students
and disciples.
