Detroit Kung Fu Academy
MY4 Sifu Lung Yat Tung Owen Matson
Moy Tung MY4 Sifu Lung Yat Tung started his training in Iowa City under Sifu Moy Yat Tung. He moved to Detroit in 2000, where he continued his Kung Fu practice and put together a private workgroup.
As this group grew, he became sanctioned as a Sifu in the lineage in 2002 and began taking students publicly in 2006 as the Detroit Kung Fu Academy opened its doors. He has succeeded as a professional Sifu since then.
After becoming a Sifu, he trained aggressively with his Sifu Moy Yat Tung, and the Grandmaster of the lineage Moy Tung. During this time he gained significant insight into the Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) system that he works to pass onto his students.
Lung Yat Tung has hosted Grand Master Moy Tung on trips to Hong Kong and mainland China. This began connecting the American martial art Masters to Southern Chinese history.
The Detroit Kung Fu Academy has expanded, and MY4 Sifu Lung Yat Tung is now also a SiGung with student Sifus teaching the Ving Tsun Kung Fu system in the three Detroit schools (Michigan Ave; Berkley; and Downriver); and in Asheville, NC; Chicago, IL; and Vienna, Austria.
