Si-Hing Michael O’Leary

Classes in the Blanchardstown area of North-West Dublin are taught by Si-Hing Michael O’Leary. Michael began his Wing Tsun training on the 5 th of February 1993 in the Manchester branch of what was then Grandmaster Leung Ting’s “British/Irish Wing Tsun Organisation”. When he returned to Ireland later that year he continued his training with Sifu Aidan Canavan with whom he still studies.

At the beginning of 1997 Michael travelled to Hong Kong to study in Grandmaster Leung Ting’s International Wing Tsun Headquarters where he took part in the classes run by Master Cheng Chuen Fun for just under three months. Upon his return to Dublin he qualified as an instructor and assisted Sifu Aidan Canavan with the running of his school in Dublin’s City Centre.

Since 1999, with Dai-Sifu Rainer Tausend taking over the running of the IEWTO, Michael together with his fellow instructors has taken on the responsibility of promoting WingTsun and Escrima in Ireland.

He was awarded his 3rd TG in WT in December 2006 by Sigung Keith Kernspecht in London. He also holds the 5th Student grade in Newman Escrima.
