Biography

    • Eddie Yeoh was a renowned Sifu in the art of Wing Chun. Arriving from Asia he began to teach kung fu alongside a handful of other students who came with him including Austin Go who some older people may recall had a kung fu shop off of Carnaby street in the west end of London After settling down and getting married to his beautiful wife Sandra , eddie opened his own wing Chun school that was true to the art and taught many students. He also showcased his skills at street events where he was photographed bending steel bars with his throat and throwing pound notes into wood like they were knives Eddies heritage also includes multiple film roles in Hollywood films especially as they used the Uk studios such as Elstree where he was passionate about acting His martial arts background dates back to Yip Man where he was in fact a student after the departure of the of course well known Bruce Lee. Yip man only took on a few students directly and this was a great honour for Eddie and his colleagues and he excelled in his skills When in England in his middle years he had a family and lived Redbridge Essex and even drove a car with a cherished plate with the name Sifu upon it. He took on a few local English students not for money but for sharing his skills for many years and was an honourable man
