Eric Lilleør (Author)
Attention, all you cool cats and kittens! Meet Danish-born Eric Lilleør, a Viking publishing guru with a personality bigger than a T-Rex. When he’s not throwing down Wing Chun moves, he’s running Mui Fa Publishing, which publishes the world’s longest-running Wing Chun magazine, Wing Chun Illustrated.Eric has been in the biz for a quarter-century, and let’s just say he’s pretty darn good at what he does. From publishing ScreenTalk, a renowned magazine for film and TV scriptwriters, to creating movieScope, a London-based publication that covered all aspects of filmmaking, Eric has consistently demonstrated his editorial prowess.In 1978, Eric was a scrawny kid with a bowl cut and a passion for watching Kung Fu movies. But after getting attacked by a pack of rabid wolves (yes, you read that right), he decided he needed to up his game. So he begged his mum to let him enrol in martial arts classes. Eric eventually found his calling: Wing Chun. Why? Because Bruce Lee was his hero, that’s why! Eric was ready to unleash his inner Little Dragon on anyone who dared cross him. And let’s just say, those wolves didn’t stand a chance if they ever came back for round two.Since 2011, he has been a proud and devoted WSLVT practitioner under the guidance of Sifu David Peterson and Sifu Morten Ibsen. He is a certified Sifu under Ibsen’s Danish Ving Tsun Federation, and let’s not forget his induction into the World Ving Tsun Association Hall of Fame as “Sifu of the Year” in 2016. When he heard the news, he was so stoked that he couldn’t help but bust out a flying kick. The only problem was his landing wasn’t exactly graceful, and he sent chairs and tables hurtling across the room, taking out the shadow of the Grim Reaper! But hey, that’s just how Eric rolls.Eric may not have a superhero cape (they’re a hazard anyway!), but he’s still got superpowers—and he’s ready to use them! Since moving to Finland in 2015, Eric has continued his Viking conquest (minus the raping and pillaging). In 2016, he was the editor of Sifu David Peterson’s book, WSL Ving Tsun Kuen Hok: An Overview in the Form of Essays, also published by Mui Fa Publishing. And if that wasn’t enough, in 2022 he added bestselling author to his impressive resumé with his book, Gong Sau Wong: A Tribute: Direct Students on Sifu Wong Shun Leung.Yep, Eric is a total badass, a little bit quirky, a lot eccentric, and totally awesome (or so he tells us). So what are you waiting for? Dive into his books and magazines and join the fan club!Read more about this authorRead less about this author

"This is a book that will enlighten you, motivate you, and move you. I can't recommend it highly enough!" -Sifu David Peterson What if you could transport back in time for a front-row seat into the life and legacy of one of the most respected Wing Chun masters in history? "Gong Sau Wong: A Tribute" offers you just that! At a whopping 360 pages, "Gong Sau Wong: A Tribute" is a fascinating and intimate window into the life and legacy of one of Wing Chun's most legendary teachers, Sifu Wong Shun Leung.

Over the last decade, the public has become more aware of his contribution to Wing Chun and his vital connection to Bruce Lee. Although widely known for his fighting capabilities, earning him the nickname Gong Sau Wong ("King of Talking Hands"), Sifu Wong was a down-to-earth, approachable, warm human being with a tremendous love for life and Wing Chun.

Through a series of exclusive conversations, 25 direct students share anecdotes, reflections, and personal stories about their late teacher, whose influence still resonates in the Wing Chun community today. Along with Sifu Wong's eldest son, John Wong Hong Chung, there are a host of his direct students such as Philipp Bayer, Rolf Clausnitzer, Tom Conba, Ernest Höfler, Victor Koo, Gary Lam, Johnny Tam Yuk Lam, Ron Lee, Wan Kam Leung, Lewis Luk, Chan Kim Man, Wu Chun Nam, Philip Ng, Rusper Patel, David Peterson, Clive Potter, Attilio Reale, John Smith, Jack Tsoi, Enzo Verratti, Ivan Wong, Mark Wong, Cliff Au Yeung and Jerry Yeung.
