When a Ving Tsun (wing chun) Kung Fu Sifu poses for a picture like this, sitting with a student standing at their right hand, it's a formal, public acknowledgment of the student's status as a disciple of a Kung Fu master.

There are a number of different formal photos of Grandmaster Moy Yat with his student Anthony Moy Tung Dandridge, as well as many informal and group photos, as they were close and spent a great deal of time together, in the context of Ving Tsun teaching-training, and Kung Fu life.

That they are both wearing suits for this photo - and in front of important Ving Tsun Kung Fu lineage art created by Moy Yat -signifies this master-disciple relationship at an even deeper level. It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision to take the photo; it was planned, deliberately.
