Jim Uglow...kung fu tourist...not!!
I read in a recently closed thread, a user trying to claim my teacher, Jim Uglow, was a kung fu tourist. A term our kwoon coined to describe people who go to HK for a holiday..and return calling themselves si-fu...a worryingly growing trend.
I thought I would join to set the record straight.
My teacher, long before he went to HK to learn from Chan Hon Chung in1985, began Hung Gar in the mid-70's with a private Chinese si-fu, learning one to one 5 days a week-4 hours EVERY morning plus a public class in the evening...
It was his original si-fu who told Jim to go to Chan si-gung in the first place, if Jim wanted the full system...how different from all the si-fus nowadays that cant admit to not knowing everything eh??
Respect to Spencer who stepped into the other "debate, your welcome to our kwoon, coz you are a proper kung fu man...and you're right questioning that guy's maturity....
