Grandmaster Moy Tung of Kung Fu Richmond Ving Tsun school
Richmond Kung Fu
This is Home Base for the Moy Tung Ving Tsun Kung Fu Schools. Grand Master Moy Tung started training in 1980 under Moy Yat. From the beginning of his training his dedication to the Ving Tsun System was uncanny. Even though he resided in Philadelphia at the time, he would make the long commute to NYC multiple times a week to learn from his Sifu Moy Yat.
In 1986 Moy Tung became a sanctioned Sifu under Moy Yat and opened his school in Richmond, VA. Moy Tung's powerful and authentic presentation of the fighting art has always been a professional focus, and he has continued making Ving Tsun his career to this day.

His attention to detail and scientific break down of the Kung Fu system yielded great clarity in the teaching of the system.
Moy Yat Tung currently resides in Virginia Beach teaching the Ving Tsun Kung Fu system there and to his many students around the country.
