After Black sash, Sifu KP Nataraj directly trained under Sifu M.L.Antony and continued training under him up to 2nd degree Black sash..  For 10 years he trained this style and he was the general secretary of that Association. But he was not satisfied with this style, so he shifted his attention to Nepal for learning Wushu and other Kungfu systems. During the stay at Nepal he met a master of Hung gar Kungfu in the lineage of David Lee. His journey towards Hung gar kungfu began there. During the training, he was informed about Wing Chun kungfu. That was in 1990. He got interested in Wing Chun and started searching to find out a Wing Chun master from china. On the way he came to know about Sifu Donald Grose. In 1994 SiFu: Don Grose accepted KP Nataraj as his first Indian student and started Wing Chun training. In 1996 he appointed KP Nataraj as his national representative for India. In 1999 KP Nataraj brought Don Grose to India and during this trip he was awarded with 7th degree Black sash to KP Nataraj.  KP Nataraj is no longer a part of Sifu Don Grose’s organization.

His intention was to learn true Ip Man system of Wing Chun Kungfu. He wanted to be trained under a Hong Kong native master. His search ended with Sam Hing Fai Chan, a native of Hong Kong who trained under both Ip Ching & Ip Chun, sons of late Grand Master: Ip Man. KP Nataraj is the student of Grand Master. Sam Hing Fai Chan. He is also learning Jow Ga and Yang Tai Chi along with Wing Chun kungfu. Sifu KP Nataraj invited Grand Master: Chan to India and Grand Master: Chan arrived in India on February 2006. During this trip to India, real knowledge of Wing Chun, Jow Ga, and Tai chi were passed on to Sifu KP Nataraj. Grand Master Chan is a native of Hong Kong, China.

Grand Master Sam Hing Fai Chan accepted KP Nataraj as his first student in India to assist him to develop a good quality Chinese martial art school in India. Grand Master: Chan is living with his family in U.S.A.
