Today I was talking to someone who saw Chiu Wai performing as tournament competitor at a tournament in Tianjin in 1986. The guy who told me, a former teammember of the Japanese Wushu Team, was very impressed by Chiu Wai performing Ng Ying Kuen. With this performance in the southern traditional division he took second place.
I can imagine how Chiu Wai performed because I am in the possession of a videotape that has been made around this same year in Hong Kong (Colisseum?), also performing Ng Ying Kuen.
I must admit that the performance of Chiu Wai and a performance I saw by Chiu Chi Ling of Ng Ying Kuen had the same intensity, strength and flavour.
(I already posted this last remark which got me a nice reply from Paul S., but I forgive him).
Interesting when you know that:
a. At that time Chiu Wai was about 55 years of age.
b. His father Chiu Kau also went to China as competitor in the late fifties (being 60+ of age) and won prizes.
Question:
Is there some verification about Chiu Wai entering this tournament in Tianjin in 1986?
