Yes i am a Pak Hok Pai student and will be probably forever, but i hope it doesn't mean i can't be interested in other MA?

while i was studying pak hok pai
i went to kickboxing lesson, shaolin etc to take a look.
who knows what might happen with taoist arts. i was interested in taoist ma before but never looked into it further that is all.

cheers,

If you're in Australia there's always a chance of finding one of Erle Montaigue's instructors. If you want fighting it would be worth checking out, if you want philosophy or "reputability", you should probably go elsewhere.

take care

Isn't there some guy named Chen Xiao Wang in Australia?

[dedalus]

Yes! The same thing occurred to me overnight. Chen Xiaowang is the current (is it 19th generation?) head of Chen faimily taijiquan. It would be hard to do better for authenticity, and he does indeed live in Sydney.

I've also heard of a chap named Rob Whitewood who teaches Xing-I there.

Hi Fiercest Tiger,

The grandmaster's name is Chan Hak Fu right?

I think the school is located in Chinatown on Liverpool street on the corner where the chinese restaurant is. The sifu there is Peter Kuo.

Isn't Joce the student of Ma Sifu?
There Mo guan is located in Campbelltown

Me? I started Pak Hok about 6 years ago.

Has anyone heard of or studied with Dr. John Fung, a student of Wei Shuren who teaches "Imperial Yang Family Taijiquan"? His website is http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/TaiChi/

[fiercest tiger]

ive met dr john, and seen his students get bounced from him. never tried it on me, so i cannot say anything about him although it looked more like leverage than jing explosion.

my 2 cents worth! :rolleyes:
