Sum Nung (YKS) Video footage?

[planetwc]

Is there any footage of Sum Nung performing the YKS sets and weapons?

Is it available for purchase? If so, where?

If not, are there any senior instructors within the lineage who do demo this system?

I know I'd be interested in seeing what this looks like.

Me too!

Back in the late 70s or early 80s my sisuk, Tom Wong (Wong Wah) had a tape for sale in Inside Kung-Fu called "Secret Kung Fu Video" that had a short segment on Sum Nung and then some San Shou. The Sum Nung segment had some history, a short piece of Sum Nung doing the Hong Jong, then a short piece on him teaching Fook Sao application to a small group of students. I don't believe its been available for a long time, though. But it's the only thing I know of ever made public. In general, Sum Nung isn't interested in spreading his system in any way other than through one on one personal contact (he wants to sweat with you and make sure you're learning his system, not just something like it). He's turned down offers, both from the PRC and from wealthy WCK people in the West many times, so its probably unlikely he'll change his mind.
