咏春拳走进纽约曼哈顿
咏春拳走进纽约曼哈顿

In the busy crowds of downtown Manhattan, it’s easy to miss a cloth signboard unless you know what you’re looking for. Once you enter the door below, you’ll find a martial arts club called the Wing Chun Martial Club. 
Founder Alex Richter, whose Chinese name is Wei Tuo, was born in Los Angeles. From an early age he was interested with Bruce Lee and developed an interest in Wing Chun(咏春). At the age of 15, he started to learn Wing Chun in Seattle. Four years later, he went to Germany to study the martial art before he made the decision to open the Wing Chun Martial Club in Manhattan in 2002.
He had 15 students when he first opened the club. Now, the number of students at his club is almost 27 times as big as it opened. "Learning kung fu is not just for self-protection and fighting, but to teach people a way of life," he said in an interview. To help a wide range of people learn Wing Chun, Wei teaches students according to their ability and keeps records for each member. Because of this, he now has members from all over the world who attend classes at his club. "Wing Chun not only belongs to China, but also the world," he said.
