When French wing chun master Marc Guyon left his finance job and set foot in Hong Kong five years ago, he only expected to stay for a few months.

A jobless and visa-less Guyon intended to learn from the Hong Kong’s acclaimed wing chun masters and return home with sufficient wisdom to open a school of his own.

“It was very symbolic,” said the 33-year-old with 18 years of wing chun experience. “I was teaching it in France but I wanted to come to the city that developed it; the home of Ip Man and Bruce Lee.”
