Master Man Sek Wing has been dedicated to the study of Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu for over 40 years, beginning his training under the late Great Grand Master Yip Sui (Ip Shui) of the Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis System in 1964.
 
Master Man Sek Wing officially began teaching Southern Mantis Kung Fu in the 1980s; in 1993 Master Man began teaching the Southern Mantis System in Sha Tin, teaching the system to local Hakka village people – essentially bringing the system “home”. Master Man Sek Wing’s lessons were so well received that he was invited to teach in several other Hakka villages and continues teaching in the Traditional way to this day.

Master Man Sek Wing’s teachings focus heavily on the deep internal side of the Southern Mantis system, using the hidden and deeply effective training methods ( gungs) and other Chi Gung (qigong) methods to develop extraordinary power, and to treat a wide range of health issues. But it is not only Master Man’s depth of knowledge and understanding that warrants a deep level of respect; it is the fact that he is a very kind, very humble and very generous man demonstrating a level of Self Mastery that serves as an inspiration to the entire SMMAA family.

In 2008 Master Man was sadly diagnosed with terminal stage 3 lymph cancer, western Doctors suggesting he had approximately a year to live. This was of course extremely upsetting to all students, grand and great grandstudents. Refusing any western treatment such as chemotherapy, and using only natural Traditional medicines, meditation, Chi Gung, and lots of support from all of us at SMMAA, Master Man Sek Wing thankfully remains with us to this day.
 
Master Man has devoted his life to exploring ever deeper into the rare and elusive system of Southern Mantis Kung Fu, and through his teachings all students learn to use the training methods to cultivate body, mind and spirit.
