After 7 yeats in Karate Darrell located the LEE MOY SHAN Ving Tsun Kung Fu school in 1975, he joined that night when he went to visit. Darrell recalls " I walked into the school and met the Instructor, he took me into the gym area and what I saw going on was absolutely amazing. All these guys and gals were facing each other in pairs and their arms seemed to be connected and at the same time they were hitting each other as best as they could with blinding speed. I asked what were they doing?  He told me Chi Sao (sticking hands)."

 

Darrell was accepted as a Disciple of Master LEE MOY SHAN in 1985 and was given his Disciple name Lee Gar Lin.
