Ok. But that does not explain why they are displayed so prominently in his training hall … not that he is required to ‘explain’ anything to me mind you…
A friend once gave me a “Ninja Boomerang” that he bought in Italy, as a gift… If I ever have my own school, I will still probably not display that priceless heirloom on the wall… That’s just me I guess… stickler for tradition and all that…

No he doesnt have to explain to anyone, who cares what he has on his walls!

More than anything, I'd like to meet some of his old high school buddies and interview them. You know, see his yearbooks and just ask what he was like. I can imagine one of his buddies saying something like "Doo Wai? Oh, he was a great guy. He was a stone cold killer, tough as nails, but really a nice guy once you got to know him. He also won our high school's sophmore talent show in 1923 with a 5 minute comedy routine. He was one heck of a guy, and funny as all heck!"

Let's give him a break on the breathing. Maybe he's a three pack a day man with asthma.

He is getting old and his health may not be that good you consider that, at least he is up showing something. Maybe you guys will never live to that age at all or even have that skill maybe you dont have that skill now?
Put up clips of yourselves doing fast forms?

Geez, he's not that fast... And now days I do come across more and more 60 year olds who are in decent shape and can get around pretty well. Especially those in martial arts

Same here brad, but that goes for alot of young people that cant move that well either!
He might not be that healthy now, but i do have young footage of him and he is extremely fast and powerful. I think the demos do not show him justice to be honest!
prime rib rocks hard!
im a nobody in kung fu. but im watching this "grandmaster guy perform" on some of the videos on his site, and he isnt even looking where hes punching or anyhting hes like looking to where he is retreating and jsut throwing his hands out.not very good imo.
I am my teachers student
Put your hands up in the air and wave your hand like you don't care hey hoo oops sorry, I say when looking at stuff like this always trust your gut instinct.im a nobody in kung fu. but im watching this "grandmaster guy perform" on some of the videos on his site, and he isnt even looking where hes punching or anyhting hes like looking to where he is retreating and jsut throwing his hands out.

When my sifu was is his sixties he certainly moved a lot better than that. As far as his health is concerned he had diabeates and smoked closed to a carton a day.He is getting old and his health may not be that good you consider that, at least he is up showing something. Maybe you guys will never live to that age at all or even have that skill maybe you dont have that skill now?

Even after suffering a stroke he performed at Tat ma wongs Tiger Balm Internationals in San Fran Sisco two weeks later.

LOL,
When will people stop talking crap on the ****ing internet?
Now, if your own teacher moved that much better...well CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!
Now, have those of you who talk down GM Doo Wai met him in person? Have you spoken to him even?
Are you planning on doing so to get real life verification of you opinions?
If not, then guess how much your statements are really worth???
You don't like what you see, then don't look. Simple.
Anyhow, I definately agree with fiercest tiger, the public demos don't do his real skill justice.

Yeah, the myster surrounding Doo Wai has always pretty much made him an intriguing figure for me. I'd give my left nut to see him doing some Bak Mei or Bak Fu Pai forms when he was young. And again, if you never went up against him when he was young, I don't think you could really know how effective he was or wasn't.

If the demos aren't that great, then don't talk like they are! Certain people act like he's the g** d*** flash from those videos, lol.Now, have those of you who talk down GM Doo Wai met him in person? Have you spoken to him even?
Anyway, a lot has to do with how much you believe in those magic tricks... if you're into that kind of hocus pocus, he's probably great. If not, well, he would obviously be a person worth avoiding
About White Tiger kungfu, are there any other branches of this style outside of his direct line, or does it all go back to Doo Wai? All I know of is Doo Wai, the ex-con con man (I can't believe I've forgoten his name, lol), and some Kenpo schools... and a fake teacher I used to study under when I was a young teen (not sure if he's still claiming to teach this style though
