About JYBC

Founder Master James Yuen with boxing legend Muhammad Ali

“A good fighter might not necessarily be a good coach.”

Master James Yuen was one of the best and most respected experts in the 70's and 80's. After WWII, he joined the “Lee's Fitness School”, a profound Gym established in 1936.

Master Yuen dedicated most of his time to the gym and gained expertise in boxing, wushu, judo and fitness training. The traditional training consolidated his professional foundations, which greatly helped him in training the best athletes in Hong Kong.

Club History

Establishment

In 1982, James Yuen Boxing Club was established under prodigious supports from Master Yuen's students. Since then, the club has been devoted to training potential fighters and developing the sport.

Many of Master Yuen's students achieved exceptional results in world-class professional fighting events, including Mr. CHAN Kim Sun, the most famous free-fight golden belt champion in Hong Kong in the 1980's.

SIFU YUEN WAN PANG

Master Yuen passed away in 1985. Since then, his outstanding students — Mr. CHAN Kim Sun and Master Ray Fong — continued the development of JYBC. The “best of the best” came Master Yuen's son, Mr. Yuen Wan Pang.

Under the training of Master Ray Fong, Pang became a brilliant athlete. He was Hong Kong's 48kg Boxing Champion for 9 consecutive years from 1994 to 2003, and has participated in many overseas competitions as a Hong Kong representative.

In 1996, Pang took over the operation of JYBC and officially became a “Sifu”. For 10 years, he hosted the Wan Chai Intermediate Level Boxing Class organized by the Hong Kong Boxing Association at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium.

Today, JYBC athletes are repeatedly chosen as Hong Kong representatives to participate in overseas competitions, including the 2004 Olympics Asian qualification boxing competition and world championships.
