Page "Yuan Kay-shan" Paragraph 6

Yuan Kay-Shan's first student and only disciple was Shum Lung ( also transliterated as " Sum Nung "), whose family had recently returned to China from South America.

Initially a student of Wing Chun instructor Cheung Bo at the Tin Hoi restaurant, Cheung introduced Shum to Yuan at a young age to further his training after Yuen was inpressed with the young boy's dedication.

Over the years, Yuan Kay-Shan and Shum Lung spent much time together, and under Yuan Kay-Shan's guidance, Shum Lung continued to refine and polish his Wing Chun by passing all of his knowledge of the Wing Chun Kuen.

With Yuan Kay-Shan's passing in 1956, Shum Nung named the style Yuen Kay San Wing Chun Kuen, in honor and memory of his teacher.
