Ho Kam Ming and I can’t remember from whomelse he learned from.
Sincerely,

Anthony Ng? I have not seen his name in HKM circles before.
But could be. There is a different Ng who was indeed a student of Master Ho.
Therewas a student of master Ho who faithfully travelled from Thunder Bay for instruction- but I dont remember his name.
As I discussed with james before— there was no wc that I knew of in Calgary when I visited there around 1990 or thereabouts- sure seems busy now.
Also I thought that Greco Wong had moved to the Vancouver area… but people move around. Ray Van R I think went the other way from calgary to the west.
Lots of changes. Then with the handover of HK and macao
more influx of good kung fu into Canada- it appears.

Funny thing Simon Siu at the cultural center here, I wonder why we do all the demo’s there at the Cultural Center if he’s already teaching WC at the center?
James [/B]
FYI. I guess he saves the best for the most important. Last night was Chinatown’s Chinese New Year celebration at the Cultural Centre and Simon himself performed with his class for a large crowd. I unfortunately didn’t see any other Wing Chun school there last night, other than the Bak Mei school performing.
Hmm.
Thouht I’d share these.

And I guess you were right in there, SUCKING IT ALL IN GOOD ah Kenton, lol. We get to many offers to look at for your information. Next weekend the Chinese community is flying my Sihing and my Sidi up to Grand Praire for their New Years Celebration, to perform a 8 minute demo. They specially asked for us and it’s a all expenses paid trip. That same Sidi just finished a demo at a Chinese New Years Celebration earlier on last week.
And by the way next time your in the south area of the city, look for the Calgary Journal, they just did a self defense story on us, due to wide spread reputation and web site information and appearance. So missing one demo at the Cultural Center is not so bad, even if it matters at all..

So, the photos of Cheung and Wong, were they playing around or really going at it? And was that around the same time in 82’ when Cheung showed his TWC forms to his Seniors at the VTAA, and proclaimed his status?
James
Looks like they were simply playing around. They’re smiling. Yes, that was when Sifu went back to HK to show the forms that YM taught him. It has all three forms and the dummy filmed at the VTAA Headquarters. There are moves on the dummy form that weren’t taught before. When Keith and I first saw the footage we were shocked at how the dummy form looked back then. It was orignially on 8mm film and even has a kung fu movie like fight scene with Sifu and some guy who attacks him with a BJD. You can probably buy the footage from Keith Mazza in NJ. Just ask him for the “Lost Footage” DVD/VHS. I know that a few of us have copies and I’m not sure if they’re for sale but it doesn’t hurt to ask if you’re interested.
PR
Thanks Phil. I noticed too that they were smiling in a couple of the photos. It would be interesting to know what the two of them thought of one another, I’m sure though there was a mutual respect. Were the two of them ever close?
I believe you advised me before about Keith Mazza possibly selling those tapes, they would be interesting to see, as I’m sort of a collector of things like that and have a interest in it.
James
Yes, they were very close. WSL is the one who introduced Sifu to Yip Man. Sifu and his brothers were on the same swimming team with WSL. Though many may not like to hear it, it was WSL, Bruce Lee and Wm. Cheung that fought and WC popular.

Yes, I remember reading about the stories also. There was a magazine, or a couple of magazine’s (Hong Kong) that had Wong Shun Leung’s story and William Cheung’s story with Bruce Lee. If it wasn’t for Wong then William may have never joined the school. Wasn’t William’s older Brother already in the school before William joined also?
Yes I agree, if the three of them hadn’t fought the art might not be as popular as it is today. I find it funny sometimes how some people trust what juniors of these 3 say more so than the three themselves. For example, Hawkins Cheung is supposedly a skilled WC exponent, as he has the time in for sure, 40+yrs so he’d better be good by now, but rather believe him and have a stronger faith than a senior to him that actually went out there and fought much more than him, and more successfully too. You would think that if you represented your school well in real challenges, and were trust worthy and hard working, that Yip would have blessed you with more of his knowledge and skills than others who weren’t as worthy of the prize. Even Hawkins acknowledge once that him and Bruce were getting most of their information from the seniors.
James
Oh I forgot to ask, if they were close I wonder what Wong’s reaction was when this event in Hong Kong in 82’ took place? Excuse me for all the questions, I used to be a PI back in the day, so it’s part of my personality now, lol.
James
I really don’t know the answer to that question. I do know that they hung out together when Sifu went back there.
