By any chance any one out there know what happened to the GM Chan Sau Chung's school in Vancouver (Richmond), Canada? It appears that they have shut down their school, perhaps moved? Anyone have any info?

I had a little too much fun and they decided they didn't want me there anymore. I finished up at the UW.

That dorm food sure was good though....apparently the girls really liked it....they all put on about 30 lbs in there first year.

Awwww....memories. :D ;) :cool:

Any response yet on if the school is closed? Or if they GM Chan moved back to HK. Inquiring minds want to know?

Master Chan Sau Chung's brother has just passed a few weeks back. So he is there to take care the white order business.

Master Chan is renovating his school in Vancouver. He has over a hundred students. It will be hard to believe he would pack up and move back to Hong Kong. he will be back in Vancouver in September.

From all reports he's eased up over the last few years, but it's still no picnic. I enjoy it immensely, but the concrete floor kills my feet. I have flat feet, and training on that floor has a tendency to inflame my plantar fasciatis. :(
