I'll be there.
From what I know, SYJ was teaching at the Jing Mo Association in Shanghai in 1923. He was with a group (called First Level Instructors) of other young masters as the next generation of instructors...
Later than never,
Sorry but you are mistaken. You might have mis-heard Jesse Glover as he was not at BL/WJM event.
Fong was not at the fight. He just finding reasons to mouth off about Wong Sifu in the magazine article because he does not like Wong Sifu for personal reasons.
Mickey,
According to my notes, the Ching Wu weapons taught were common weapon sets that were already in many different Northern styles curriculum already. In 1915, the Chief Instructor, Chao...
Yes, of course, I'll be there under the Tiger Claw Banner.
YMC,
I have a similar saber but blade only and the motif may not be a flower but a dragon. Look more carefully as it appears to be a dragon's head on the left. I do not know if my eyes are...

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...
CLF Nole,

Sorry but I do not have the characters handy.
I do not recognize the form that the two young girls are performing. It is not any of the Ch'a sets.
These are rough translation
Cha # 1 is referred to Mother Seed
Cha# 2 is called Hand Motion
Cha #3 is in two parts (Upper/Lower) and is called Flying Foot
Cha #4 is called Slippery Fork
Cha #5...
