Its called google

Because his methods differ from what we might have been taught does not make it wrong. It could be that we are wrong. Wong is one tough charactor, and this leaves us with the question. Can you whip him?

I’ll say this about him: he cracks me up.

Is this the same Sifu Lakis who taught in London, UK during the eighties/nineties??

Okay, yes it is him I just checked the photo gallery :slight_smile:

Student of Moy Yat (?)

I think he’s cool. A little off the hook but cool. Who cares where he learned from or if his methods don’t match others. He’s entertaining…:smiley:

[QUOTE=Dave McKinnon;1046010]I like how he switches back and forth between broken English and a funny British accent.

Having done two tours of duty in Vietnam I detect a Vietnamese accent.

To me it is only slight, but the way he puts his sentences together says so. Also, he looks Viet Whether or not he is.

Michael Wong originally came to England at the age of ten as a refugee from Vietnam.

He could be descended from Chinese immigrants to Vietnam, given that his surname is ‘Wong’.

Very true, there were lots of Chinese in Vietnam.

Yes he is my friend do you have any information to provide me with on his lineage. I cannot find anywhere a source on his lineage. Any help or information would be much appreciated my friend.

Do you know his school have you trained with him before?

Kind of ironic how he says, “If you do that you have big problem,” right after he blocks the kick while looking down at it.

Seconds 11 - 15 of this video may be my favorite “Master Wong moment” ever.

Yes, but funny!

The rest of the video is a promotion for selling rattan rings, but those 4 seconds that I mentioned = worst flyswatter ever.

I think the video typefies the guy - he’s a brazen self-promoter and is clearly interested in turning a buck through martial arts. I don’t think his WC is particularly good (notice his poor shifting, for example). Still, it’s hard to malign the guy when he’s willing to goof around a little bit in his videos.
