Master Lok Yiu  駱  耀

Master Lok Yiu was the second Hong Kong student of Wing Chun Grandmaster Yip Man (1893-1972).  He trained and lived with Yip Man at the Restaurant Workers Association building, where he was a chef, for 7 years.

He started teaching private students in 1959. He opened his first school on Kay Lung Street 基 隆 街 in Sham Shui Po in 1961. In 1966, the school was moved to 659 Shanghai Street. Si-Fu Lok Yiu also had two other branch schools, one located at 50 Nga Tsin Wai road and the other in Wanchai, Hong Kong. In his 30 years teaching career, he had over a thousand students. His To-Dai, Wilhelm Blech, continues to teach Master Lok Yiu's refined art to hundreds of students throughout Europe, through his ELYWCIMAA (EUROPEAN LOK YIU WING CHUN INTERNATIONAL MARTIAL ART ASSOCIATION).

 Message from my Si-Gung, Wilhem Blech

I want to thank my Si-Fu for every moment I spent with him from the bottom of my heart.  My Si-Fu was an enrichment to my life. He not only taught me Wing Chun, but the way of thinking about Wing Chun, to experience the richness of life.

My Si-Fu Lok was my second father in many parts of my life.
The deep emotional friendship between us will never end.
It breaks my heart that my Si-Fu is no longer with us.

Thank you my Si-Fu Lok for having the honor to be your To-Dai. I will carry you in my heart forever.

Wilhelm Blech
