=== The Ving Tsun Athletic Association ===
The Ving Tsun Athletic Association was founded in 1967 by Cantonese master Ip Man and seven of his senior students so they could teach Wing Chun together and Ip Man would not take on all the work himself.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vingtsun.org.hk |title=詠春體育會 - Ving Tsun Athletic Association |website=vingtsun.org.hk |language=zh, en |date=2019-11-27}}</ref> The first public demonstration of the Wing Chun fighting system, according to Ip Man, took place in Hong Kong at an official exhibition fight in the winter of 1969 at what was then the Baptist College (now the [[Hong Kong Baptist University]]). [[Leung Ting]], a student of Ip Man, invited his master and some well-known representatives of the martial arts scene of the time to the college and conducted the exhibition fights in front of a specialist audience. The Association helped Wing Chun to spread to the rest of the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vingtsun.org.hk/developmentofVTAA.htm |title=詠春體育會發展簡介 - Kurzer Überblick zur Entwicklung des Ving Tsun Athletic Association |website=vingtsun.org.hk |language=zh |date=2019-11-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vingtsun.org.hk/Development_1961-70.HTM |title=The Development of Ving Tsun Kung Fu in Hong Kong (1961–1970) – 香港詠春體育會發展 (1961–1970) |website=vingtsun.org.hk |language=zh, en |date=2019-11-27}}</ref>
