Kwoon Rules of Conduct

国有国规 家有家规  馆有馆规

A country has laws, A family has rules, A kwoon has its code of conduct

As a recipient of a time honoured tradition: Traditional Ip Man Ving Tsun Kungfu, we have a duty to uphold the way of our ancestors and the way kungfu was being taught from Master to Disciple, the code of conduct in learning and the deep traditions of the chinese culture.

武术虽然是一种武装力量，但是我们中国武术，是包含儒家的哲理，

武德，也就是仁，推已及人
