GRAND MASTER BENNY MENG
Founder of Meng’s Martial Arts
& Shaolin Wing Chun Method, Internationally Recognized Martial Arts Historian

Grand Master Benny Meng has studied martial arts throughout the East and the West.

In 1970, he started his martial arts training in Hong Kong, studying Judo. He began broadening his skills and knowledge with Tae Kwon Do training in 1974 under Grand Master Y.C. Kim (9th Dan, WTF) in the United States. Additional Tae Kwon Do training included Grand Master K. J. Park, former Head Judge at the Kuk Ki Won, the International Headquarters for Tae Kwon Do.

He has enjoyed the privilege of studying under several famous Kung Fu Grand Masters from various styles. Beginning in 1981, Meng embarked on an extended study of martial arts that took him to Hong Kong (1981-Tai Chi Mantis & Wing Chun), Mainland China (1983-Shaolin Temple and Sichuan Sports University), Korea (1985-Tae Kwon Do with the Korean National Team), and Taiwan (1985-Shaolin, Chi Kung).

Grand Master Meng began his Wing Chun Kung Fu training in Hong Kong in 1982 under the movie star Sifu Lee Hoi Sang. Upon returning to the U.S., he trained full-time under Sifu Moy Yat while living in New York City in 1985. He officially started teaching Kung Fu in 1986.

The Ving Tsun Museum, the Ving Tsun Athletic Association, and the Moy Yat International Ving Tsun Federation all certified him as a Senior Instructor. Additionally, the World Tae Kwon Do Federation certified him to the 6th Degree Black Belt level. Krav Maga International and C.O.B.R.A. have also certified him as an Instructor.

In 2013, Grand Master Meng was also one of the first non-monks to be certified as an instructor in the warrior monk's training curriculum at the Shaolin Temple. This brings his martial arts career back to its Shaolin roots over 30 years later.

Grand Master strives for quality, not quantity, in his teaching. He aims to develop the “elite of the elite” in training martial artists. Each student is encouraged to strive to develop to the Master level and to reach the highest plateau of the art through personal dedication, knowledge, and patience.
