Sifu Kendra's Teaching Roots:
Traditional Wing Chun and the Cheung Lineage
Traditional Wing Chun, as taught by Grandmaster William Cheung, is a lineage deeply rooted in the practices and philosophies of legendary martial artist Ip Man. Cheung’s journey began as a young martial artist in Hong Kong, where he not only learned directly from Ip Man but also became a close friend and training partner of Bruce Lee. Recognized for both his dedication and skill, Cheung was instrumental in introducing Bruce Lee to Ip Man’s school, fundamentally shaping Lee’s early martial arts education. Under Ip Man’s guidance, Cheung developed a deep understanding of the art, eventually becoming a live-in student and later head of the Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association. Cheung’s teachings emphasize authentic forms, practical street defense, and the preservation of traditional techniques.

One of Cheung’s notable students is Master Brian Lewadny, who traveled to Australia to study Traditional Wing Chun directly under Cheung’s tutelage. Lewadny fully immersed himself in the art, progressing swiftly and attaining all levels of the system. His mastery and dedication were recognized by Cheung, who entrusted him with the responsibility of introducing Traditional Wing Chun to Canada—an acknowledgment of both his technical acumen and teaching abilities. Lewadny established several Wing Chun academies in Canada and became known for his commitment to preserving the integrity of the art, maintaining the core principles and respect for the lineage passed down from Ip Man through Cheung.

Kung Fu Kendra, also known as Sifu Kendra Mahon, represents the next generation in this distinguished martial tradition. As a direct student of Master Brian Lewadny, she carries the teachings of the Cheung lineage forward. Her martial arts journey has spanned over two decades, during which she has become a recognized instructor and founder of the Global Kung Fu Alliance. Sifu Kendra’s training reflects the disciplined, traditional approach she inherited from Lewadny, who was in turn shaped by Cheung and the Ip Man tradition. Now a third-generation master in the Ip Man lineage, Kendra is dedicated to making Wing Chun accessible and relevant for modern students globally while upholding the principles and legacy of her teachers.
