Eric Lilleør

Attention, all you cool cats and kittens! Meet Danish-born Eric Lilleør, a Viking publishing guru with a personality bigger than a T-Rex. When he’s not throwing down Wing Chun moves, he’s running Mui Fa Publishing, which publishes the world’s longest-running Wing Chun magazine, Wing Chun Illustrated. Eric has been in the biz for a quarter-century, and let’s just say he’s pretty darn good at what he does. From publishing ScreenTalk, a renowned magazine for film and TV scriptwriters, to creating movieScope, a London-based publication that covered all aspects of filmmaking, Eric has consistently demonstrated his editorial prowess. In 1978, Eric was a scrawny kid with a bowl cut and a passion for watching Kung Fu movies. But after getting attacked by a pack of rabid wolves (yes, you read that right), he decided he needed to up his game. So he begged his mum to let him enrol in martial arts classes. Eric eventually found his calling: Wing Chun. Why? Because Bruce Lee was his hero, that’s why! Eric was ready to unleash his inner Little Dragon on anyone who dared cross him. And let’s just say, those wolves didn’t stand a chance if they ever came back for round two. Since 2011, he has been a proud and devoted WSLVT practitioner under the guidance of Sifu David Peterson and Sifu Morten Ibsen. He is a certified Sifu under Ibsen’s Danish Ving Tsun Federation, and let’s not forget his induction into the World Ving Tsun Association Hall of Fame as “Sifu of the Year” in 2016. When he heard the news, he was so stoked that he couldn’t help but bust out a flying kick. The only problem was his landing wasn’t exactly graceful, and he sent chairs and tables hurtling across the room, taking out the shadow of the Grim Reaper! But hey, that’s just how Eric rolls. Eric may not have a superhero cape (they’re a hazard anyway!), but he’s still got superpowers—and he’s ready to use them! Since moving to Finland in 2015, Eric has continued his Viking conquest (minus the raping and pillaging). In 2016, he was the editor of Sifu David Peterson’s book, WSL Ving Tsun Kuen Hok: An Overview in the Form of Essays, also published by Mui Fa Publishing. And if that wasn’t enough, in 2022 he added bestselling author to his impressive resumé with his book, Gong Sau Wong: A Tribute: Direct Students on Sifu Wong Shun Leung. Yep, Eric is a total badass, a little bit quirky, a lot eccentric, and totally awesome (or so he tells us). So what are you waiting for? Dive into his books and magazines and join the fan club!
