But nor do I care so much that I feel the need to debate minor issues of origin or method with regard to my kungfu family as he is mostly correct. Beyond that, watch the vids he posted and hear it directly from my grand teacher's mouth (albeit through a translator unless you speak Mandarin).

Good day to you.
@David
Thanks for posting these. I once had a copy of that BBC broadcast of the late GrandMaster Hung, but my vid went bad years ago. It was nice to watch it again. :)
You know, it's tragic... the BBC shot something like 18 hours of film on Hung, but they have never consented to turn loose of the rest of it to the family even though we have tried numerous times to get the footage.
The country of Taiwan had considered Hung a "national treasure" while he was alive and he used to be featured in the "About Taiwan" magazine handed out to all visitors as they came through customs at the airport. We all miss him. He was a true treasure trove.
