can any one post here information about this great master and his photo training in magazines or any thing about it ?
Is he has authored books?
iam search very lot about it in internet but nothing
thanks
Hi and Welcome to the forum,
I think the person that you are looking for was a disciple of Sun Yu Feng of the Lohan tyle. The difficulty that you are having may have more to do with the way you are spelling his name in English (also try Shiu Hon Sang). He was briefly shown doing some moves in a Bruce Lee documentary (Bruce Lee: The Man, The Legend). Check youtube for the documentary. It might be there. He recently passed away. Try doing a search on Sun Yu Feng in the Shaolin forum as well as this one.
As for magazines try looking for this person in some of the old Hong Kong martial arts magazines like Secrets of Kung Fu, Real Kung Fu and New Martial Hero.

i found this rare pics
Hi,
Thank you for the share. Was this from New Martial Hero?
mickey
Thankyou for sharing these pictures! I have researched him as much as I can (since I cannot speak Chinese), mostly for his connections and training of Bruce Lee. (I study Jeet Kune Do) Several magazines in the 1970s would print articles about him such as Real Kung Fu magazine and the Bruce Lee magazines that were put out by the Bruce Lee JKD Club of Hong Kong. If more Bruce Lee memorabilia collectors would actually read and share the info in these rare magazines, then we would all be more knowledgeable of Siu Hon Sang and other important material.
Sifu Siu Hon Sang died on November 27th 1994
From my research I have found this out:
He learned Hung Gar from Fung Wing Biu, who was a student of Wong Fei Hung (Hung Gar)
Fung referred Shiu to friend Hung Cheung (to learn Choy lay Fut)
Shiu was also referred to chik wong the authority of chow gar pak kwa pole fighting techniques.
At the Canton Chin Woo School, Siu Hon Sang learned from Sun yuk Fung who was in charge of the northern style kung fu instruction, and hung cheong who was in charge of the sourthern styles.
Shek Kin and Shiu Hon Sang are both graduates from the kung fu classes operated by the Chin Woo associations, and are both experts in Northern Style Kung Fu. Shek and Shiu are close friends of Lee Hoi Chuen, the father of Bruce Lee.
Shiu Hon Sang was also in two Wong Fei Hung movies:
Huang Fei-hong Guanshan da he shou (October 1956)
Huang Fei-hong Shamian fu shen quan (July 1956)
If anybody has more pictures of Siu Hon Sang, please share them! I have also looked for those two mentioned Wong Fei Hung films but cannot find them anywhere. I assume they were never released on VHS, DVD, etc.
Enjoy the pictures I have provided. Notice Shek Kin in the photo from one of the Wong Fei Hung films!
Huang Fei-hong Guanshan da he shou (October 1956)
Huang Fei-hong Shamian fu shen quan (July 1956)
if anyone could roughly translate the titles…

Here is a more complete list of Wong Fei Hung films Shiu Hon Sang was in:

In “Wong Fei Hung’s Battle with the Five Tigers in the boxing ring” Shiu Hon Sang plays one of the Five Tigers!
Also, in interviews with Shiu Hon Sang, it was one of the films being filmed in 1958 that Shiu Hon Sang had to post-pone his training of Bruce Lee and take it up again a few months before Lee left for the USA.
I would love to see some of these films, Laukarbo!

Does anybody know the origin of these images of Shiu Hon Sang? Obviously from a book or other media. If anybody knows the name that would be great. Would likely be circa 1940-1950.

Does anybody know what style of marital arts Shiu Hon Sang is demonstrating here? I am guessing either Seven Star Praying Mantis or Hung Gar based on his biography.
Thanks
What SiSuk Shiu Honsang performing in the pictures are from a special set that he developed based on a collection of movements from different styles that he learned and it consisted of 6 rows. The movements are very basic but practical and was created for his beginner level students.
This little booket was like an introduction to basic horse stances, proper fist, stretches, his own develop set and also part of a set (First row: Five Brother Fist) from Sun Yu Fung’s BSL Lohan which is only the first row of six rows of a sparring set called BSL Lohan Nian Shou Chuan. SiSuk Shiu Honsang is doing this sparring set with his classmate SiSuk Shek Kin as they were both started their Kung fu lessons as classmates with GGGM Sun Yu Fung.

Thank you for this information! Did you study under SiSuk Shiu Honsang? The picture above is actually from Bruce Lee’s personal scrapbook so it looks like he cut out pictures from that school booklet of Shiu. I welcome any other information on Shiu Honsang you may have.
No I did not learn from SiSuk Shiu Honsang but he is from the same lineage as from whom I learned from and I’m the most senior disciple of GM Wong Jackman.
