Leung Jan was the most famous Wing Chun practitioner of all times , on the other hand , we don't know anything about his original art . He had some 10 or 12 students but most of them didn't passed their arts to the next generation . Only one who opened a school and taught wing chun was Chan Wah Shun , but we do not know how his art looked like either . Chan's student Ng Chan So taught a student in Foshan but he mixed his art with Yuen Chan Wan's style . Chan's son Chan Yiu Min obviously mixed his art with some other southern style ( probably Hung Gar) . And of course , there is Yip Man and his "Leung Bik" story , but his students admitted that this story was nothing more than a marketing strategy common at the time ,in fact Yip Man's wing chun share more similarities with Yuen Kai San style than any other .
It is also important to say that fame and popularity for Leung Jan came long after his death ,he became a character of pulp fiction novels and most of the "facts" about him can be traced to these cheap pocket books , we actually have very little real details about his life . Documents or other evidence about Leung Jan and his life before second part of the republican era do not exist . Is it possible to to reconstruct or somehow trace the original art of Leung Jan ?
