"Igniting the Flames of Unity"

Sifu John Lambert is the Senior Instructor at Meng's Martial Arts of Cincinnati. He performed his Baai Si under Sifu Meng on November 16, 2003, becoming the 8th member of the 10th Generation Disciples in the Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Kuen lineage under Master Meng, granted and accepted by the systems inheritor Grand Master Garrett Gee.

He began his journey in martial arts in 1956 as a student of Sensei Eugene Fields in Judo. It was Sensei Fields who planted the seed of awareness, humility, and the love of the martial arts in his student. Later in life he would find that Tae Kwon Do had its place in his life and would study under Grand Master Kyung Won Ahn and then Master William Scott Sr. He then would embark on a trek into Chinese martial arts with Sifu Kenneth Ware and Sifu Martin Ware that would introduce him to the Northern Chinese arts.

On October 16, 2000, due to a chance of fate, he found the Ving Tsun Museum and Ving Tsun Kung Fu. He subsequently met his Sifu, Master Benny Meng, and began his study in the Ip Man Kung Fu System, a Southern Chinese Wing Chun martial art. In November of 2000 he had his first contact with Grand Master Garrett Gee, and was so impacted by him that he requested permission from Sifu Meng to be trained in this art. In January 2001 he began his study in the Martial Art of Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Kuen with his Sifu, Master Benny Meng, this would later lead him to become a Disciple under Grand Master Garrett Gee. In Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun Kung Fu he has found the martial art that is the correct "fit" for his Body, Mind, and Spirit. He continues his studies as a lifelong commitment to the promotion and preservation of the martial arts.
