Steve Pal began his WingTsun training in Hungary and is a to-dai (direct student) of Sifu Madai Norbert. Since coming to the states he continued his training with wing chun when he could not find a WingTsun (WT) school in his area. Sensing something was not quite right, he quit his wing chun training and searched for an official WingTsun (WT) school and found it with City WingTsun. In September 2009 Steve passed his primary level technician test under Grandmaster Leung Ting in New York. Steve continues his WingTsun training through private instruction with Sifu Alex Richter.
