M
Moy Yat (1938-2001) was a martial artist who truly embodied the expression "erudition and martiality complement each other." In 1957 he started in the Ving Tsun System, as a disciple of the legendary Kung Fu master, Patriarch Ip Man (1893-1972) of the Ving Tsun system.
Like the samurai Miyamoto Musashi, Moy Yat was able to express his Kung Fu through scholarly arts, drawing from his martial arts experience.
Considered as "a genius in Chinese painting and calligraphy" by the Ip Man Museum, a Chinese government entity, Moy Yat was a sought-after artist with a unique style. He served as a consultant to the American Museum of Natural History.
As a Chinese stone seal carver, an intricate art style from China because it includes calligraphy, sculpting, and design, Moy Yat created his greatest art collection: the "Ving Tsun Kuen Kuit", consisting of 51 chops. This work of art includes the genealogy, ancestors, martial proverbs, domains, and key components of the Ving Tsun system.
Recognized by the American magazine Inside Kung Fu as one of the "greatest martial arts teacher of all time," Moy Yat leaves behind an important legacy one where the martial arts learning can transcend into daily conduct, making human activity more intelligence, and as a result a life that is richer. This process he denominated as Kung Fu Life.
Careful to generate the right conditions for his legacy to evolved for future generations, Moy Yat authored several books, produced dozens of videos, and spoke at hundreds of demonstrations, all of them emphasizing on the importance of having a broader sense of Kung Fu.
