    My spelling or pronunciation is probably wrong but these are phonetically taken as Master Wong spoke them in cantonese.
    Thanks for reading , Sifu Jim.
    Btw, I found some old pictures of the early days, one picture is with Jimmy Woo,San Soo fame standing in front of Sifu's store & another of my wife & Sifu Wong in San Francisco.
    That's a very strange romanization.

    Although it seemed like the majority in NYC Chinatown were Toysanese during the 60s and 70s....

    Cantonese

    Hi, Steve , I was told by GM Wong that he was from Canton and that he spoke Cantonese. he probably spoke in a couple of dialects. He used to talk to me in chinese all the time, not just a few words but complete statements. It was hard but but I picked up on some words.

    Regards Sifu Jim.

    Smile Massage

    Hello, Steeve, I'm not sure which method he taught me, I remember learning nerve and muscle massage.I used to practice on my wife,She enjoyed it.
    GM Wong made several trips to the orient to brush up on his acupressure & acupuncture Technology. He added those to his herb business, he did a lot of treatment on me for varies problems.
    Did you learn any of these??.

    Regards Sifu Jim.
