Masterkiller,
with all due respect - do not change the subject it was running good.
Once again - the best teacher you had/have and what impressed you in him the most .
My current Sifu.. Master Chow Chi Fung aka Philipman Chow… 70+ and still strong.
I’ve never met a teacher with so much knowlege, I’m blessed.
Post# 500 !!! (I dont know if that is good or bad)
I am not meaning this in any way to indicate that I feel as a student that I am great. That is not what I intended to state. However, the saying that I’ve heard my Sifu say is that it is hard to find a good teacher but even harder to find a good student. Since I’ve found a great teacher, I find that the statement could be altered to add that it is hard to find a good teacher, and even harder to be a good student. That is my take on it from where I stand.
This talk of being a good student is very relevant. Every single class I have with my Sifu his ability and knowledge make me feel like a beginner, time and time again. Every class I strive to take in 10% of what’s he trying to teach us. I do my best every single time, but I’m a still not a great student. I’d love to be a better student.
However, I think it’s pretty universal that any great teacher will recognise a student that is trying as hard as they can to learn, and training and practicing outside of class too. Then they will try to give all their greatness over time.
I sure hope this is so anyway! ![]()
Master Bob Green.
I would like to name 3
Wang Li Sheng (Dai Shi Xin Yi Quan, student of the late Wang Ying Hai): Ability to express energic concepts and control power at will and with simplicity remains forever.
Zhou Yu Yang (From Hebei, master of Chuojiao, Tongbei, Bajiquan and Bapanzhang): until he was 80 he moved like the wind and imparted so much knowledge that I would spend a lifetime continuing to digest and provide the inspiration to appreciate the efficient martial arts of Hebei.
Mao Yi Min (From Nanchang, master of Yingmenquan (Yuejia Quan) and Zimenquan) : the greatest skills in neautralising ever felt and thank for Wubaiqian.
Regards
Wuchanlong.
Shifu Milczarek
The best teacher I have ever encountered is Shifu Slawomir Milczarek. Hands down he is the best I have trained under. Not only that, he has produced more proficient fighters than any other teacher I know. That is a true measure of one’s teaching skills. Those Polish Tang Lang fighters mean business, let me tell ya… ![]()
Now that isn’t all. Shifu Milczarek is also a very, very humble man. He has a great sense of humor, is very patient and understanding. All qualities of a great teacher.
Last but not least, from Shifu and the Polish brothers and sisters I have learned about Wu De through actions, not just words. I feel very lucky to be affiliated with these men and women.
Cheers ![]()

I am equally impressed with all the teachers I have had. Including a few of the guys I train with now who have hella skeelz.
Each person who has taken the time to teach me something has done a better than good job at teaching.
Having said that I’ve studied with a have respect for the skills of:
Chris Au - Yang Tai Chi
Jean Paul St.Pierre - Okinawan Isshinryu Karate Do
Am Lee - Tae Kwon Do
Wes Cameron - Sil Lum Black Tiger
Chris Hanson - MMA and Shorin ryu
Wai Yee Ho - Sil Lum Black Tiger
Others who I have had the pleasure of TRaining with although less extensively.
Steve Pascoe - Northern Mantis
The progressive martial arts group in Montreal as run by Mauricio Machuca and his top student Teo Dutchevici (real good WC and FMA pracs)
Sifu Jose Grados
The best, most powerful martial artist I’ve ever studied under was Luo De Xiu here in Taipei. He has amazing abilities at so many levels that it’s not even funny.
The best instructor (as far as teaching goes) that I’ve ever studied under was either Sifu Desmond Jackson, who teaches choy lay fut in Gainesville, Fla., or James Yeh, my current hongquan (Taiwanese hung gar) teacher.
Sifu Jackson has the fastest moves and most supple body skills I have ever seen. He also made me spar with him for an hour a day for most of the three years I was with him. Talk about foundation training! His website is here http://www.gainesvilledojo.net/kungfu.html and if you’re in the area you should check him out.
James Yeh teaches Taiwanese hong quan, a little known system outside of Taiwan that combines southern material with northern body mechanics. He has a MS in exercise science so his ability to explain and teach from different angles is amazing.
Having studied from these great teachers I would advise others to study with the best teachers available, regardless of what style they do. You won’t be sorry!
Dave C.
My first teacher Master Kong. He taught TKD but how he taught has stayed with my for 30 years.
Sifu Jimmy Tarpley is now who I am training under. Skilled and scary on the sparring floor but a more humble man would be hard to find.
My Sifu Paul Chau.
He’s around 150 lbs, I am 250 lbs. One time during a jiu jitsu class (he teaches this too) we were doing drills to escape from cross body (and to maintain cross body) now the last time I had done a drill like this with that much of a weight differential I just lifted the person off of me and rolled out from underneath. Not so with my sifu, despite the fact that he IS light he managed to make himself just kind of stuck in place and no matter how much I manouevered he always just remained right in a perfect cross body position.
He’s also briliantly fast, hits like a truck and has an almost encyclopedic knowlege of martial arts.
Actually the most impressive Iron Body technique I have seen in person wasn’t performed by an instructor at all but by my younger brother. I broke a cedar tree across his ribs (yes a cedar tree - it wasn’t a huge cedar tree, the trunk had about a 2-2.5 inch diameter, but it still was a cedar tree - not a branch or something) and he didn’t even get a bruise, he didn’t even flinch.
Everyone was (and is) going to say their own teacher is the best. What does the best mean? It means nothing.
Randy Li- Ving Tsun, Yang Taiji
Taika Oyata - ryukyu kempo
Augustine Fong - Ving Tsun
Greg Linguist - Ryukyu Kempo
Mikey and ben (two guys I just started training with, they are awesome but I won’t post their lasts names since I don’t have their permission) - 6 elbows/tai hui
And others that are probably less known.
