i met up with Master Shek Kin in prince edward. he was having lunch with his youngest son.
he looks pretty much the same aside for the white hair.
he is 91 years old living in the prince edward area.
his memory is still awsome!
You are living Tai Ji Do area nearby? We can meet, not busy I invite you, Dak la?
Hi Once Ronin,
What would be the chance of asking him some select questions ?
I am desperately trying to get a hold of him to ask some questions for my Kung Fu research. My Dai Sigung was his classmate under Sun Yu Fung the Shaolin Lohan Kuen master from the north AKA Broadsword King of 7 Provinces. This was in the 1930’s.
I wanted to ask Master Shek Kin about the curriculum and his rememberances of that time with Sun Yu Feng.
Do you have any suggestions how I could contact him ?
Any help would be most greatly appreciated.
Kindest Regards

yes he mention that his shaolin lohan was from a teacher up north. sounds like you to know alittle.
sorry, i was with my sifu. my sifu is the one to know him.
as i am with my sifu i cannot asked questions to his friends, it would not be good manners.
how to get ahold of him? sorry, i cannot give this information. only to walk around and hope to see him in the big area of tai g doe.
as for the lion, i make a habbit not to meet people over the net. especially the lion’s mouth is open.
Once Ronin,
I do know a little bit of the history, but a bit is not enough.
I need to pinpoint exactly which forms come from his teacher, and if not where my system comes from.
I shall ask my friends to recommend me to Shek Kin, it may take a while. I need to go to Hong Kong to ask many people many questions. Chan Tat Fu is another person I wish to see.
Bottom line, I am glad he is in good health. I was told otherwise, so now I shall go and see him when I can.
For your information. I dont walk around Tai Ji Do. I make appointments.
Within the four seas all men are brothers.
