Does anyone know of a So.Chi. school in Vancouver? I’d be deeply indebted if you could help me. “The uninformed are religious, the informed are political, the very informed are wealthy, and the enlightened are not.” God©™ ---

HI, I know of teachers of many different styles in Vancouver- wing chun, hung gar, tai shing pek kwar, bagua, tai chi, wu shu… you can also email me through my profile if you like. Go forward, my son, and be like unto a torch upon the darkness. Thou are stripped now, of all that was before. Look not to thy fellow men for guidance or countenance- they canst advise you no longer. Thou shalt be as dust now, and dust shall be upon the tongues of thy enemy. Verily, thou shalt herald the coming of the new age upon man."

the only tibetan teacher I know of in vancouver is warrenoh, he posts here sometimes, look for a thread of his on this forum about tibetan arts- you might have to go back several weeks or a month or so. good luck Go forward, my son, and be like unto a torch upon the darkness.

YKM and Bak mei There is a club that practices both YKM and Bak mei from what I can remember. You might want to check with someone like Jon Funk (7 star/northern praying mantis) who has connections to alot of different organisations. I’m sure he is in the Van phone book. Cheers R ---

diego & iron silk Diego, Ritchie Chow is a Loong Ying teacher that studied under Neil Chan (Chow Fook student), can be found at the Kerrisdale Community Center. If you are refering rather to Tibet Lama, then Yue Shan Society on Pender directly across from the Chinese Cultural Center is the place to go. GM Tony Jay teaches there. He also has two students (brothers) Tony & Henry Kam that teach (but where I’m afraid I don’t know). Iron Silk I no longer study and have done a little of this & that, just have lots of friends in the community & stay informed… ---

my interest thanks for the tournament info! As for my interest I am an indoor student of a Bak Hsing master in Western Canada. My Sifu and SiGung taught in the Vancouver area for many years and were actually the first school to teach non chinese in the early 1970’s. My Sifu was unaware that anyone was still teaching in the area until I met a Hung Sing student at Tiger Balm 05 that said he knew of a Bak Hsing Kwoon in Richmond. Just trying to track down any distant relatives out there. cheers.. [Next page](https://forum.kungfumagazine.com/t/southern-in-vancouver/1664.md?page=2)
