The VTM has held a leadership role in promoting unity in the Wing Chun community by providing workshop and training opportunities open to all members of the community. Early activity focused on the Yip Man family and is now beginning to focus on a larger cross-section of the families under the umbrella of Wing Chun.

Believing actions speak louder than words, below is a list of the VTM's activities to promote unity and fellowship for Wing Chun:

  • Founded in 1993, the Museum is the first organization in the entire Yip Man Family to accomplish grand Master Yip Man's lifelong dream of providing a place where Ving Tsun practitioners from all over the world could gather and pay respects to previous generations of Ving Tsun Masters.
  • The first organization to host all of the top instructors of the Moy Yat International Ving Tsun Federation in a joint hands-on teaching seminar featuring two Grand Masters and nine Masters of Ving Tsun in 1997.
  • The first Martial Arts Preservation facility of its kind in the Western World, with an official Grand Opening Celebration in 1998.
  • Hosted the first Senior Instructor Certification Program outside of the Ving Tsun Athletic Association in Hong Kong in November of 1998 in the United States.
  • The first organization to gather 8 original students of Yip Man together to give technical workshops on Ving Tsun Kung Fu in November 1998 and September 1999 respectively.
  • The first organization to introduce the Southern Temple fielded versions of Wing Chun to the public with the presentation of the Hung Fa Yi lineage in May of 1999 and the Chi Sim Weng Chun lineage in February 2001.
  • The first organization to promote 5 different lineages of Wing Chun together through a continuing series of Friendship Seminars offered around the United States.
  • The first organization to promote and standardize Wing Chun into an international competition event.
  • United States Representative to the First World Ving Tsun Conference in Hong Kong and China in November of 1999.
  • First Wing Chun research organization to reveal the true history of Wing Chun's evolution, published in Kungfu-Qigong magazine, September/October 2001 issue.
 

The Ving Tsun Museum has sponsored workshops with the following direct students of the late Grand Master Yip Man.

  • Moy Yat '93, '95, '96, '97, '98
  • Yip Ching '95, '97, '98
  • Yip Chun '95, '98
  • William Cheung '99, '00
  • Chu Shong Tin '98
