Syn7,
I said this in this thread earlier but noone replied but,
Isn't Doo-- Wilkie Wu anyways? Wasn't that the story here about 8 years back or so? That his real name was Wilkie Wu, and that after some triad nastyness, his wife and child got killed, and he fled to America??? This was the story spouted about 8 years back. Good story until everyone realizes, or had realized, that Wilkie Wu was and is a real person living in Canada, who never fled Canada...
A simple question I have about Doo Wai...Where is he from in China?
Just a question for fun...Why would Doo Wai leave China, and Macau, and Hong Kong, and Taiwan, just to go to Canada to learn Bak Mei?
Curiosity questions...Why would masters on the West Coast respect him? Share K. Lew??? Why would he respect Doo Wai if he had nothing?
How did all of this "stay quiet" until the mid 90s, when the dude was known in the Mo Lum since the seventies? Did it take 20 years for people to figure all this out or something?
Noone knows it seems. All the stories that bash this guy, are just as ridiculous as his family inherited stories if you really look at it. Look, I am all for finding out exact truths. I am not talking about respectful truths just because so and so said. There is better ways of finding things out.
I have seen vids of the guy performing forms that are basically identical to most all of the known BM forms. Why?
No man, Wilkie Woo (Woo Wai Quan) is currently a sifu for pakmei.net. He's listed there on several pages:

I was on the metro earlier, deep in meditation, when a ruffian came over and started causing trouble. He started pushing me with his bag, steadily increasing the force until it became very annoying. When I turned to him, before I could ask him to stop, he immediately started hurling abuse like a scoundrel. I performed a basic chin na - carotid artery strike combination and sent him to sleep. The rest of my journey was very peaceful, and passersby hailed me as a hero - Warrior Man
Faruq,
I know. What I wrote is a rumour that was floating around like 10 years ago.
You are Doo Wai's student. Where is he from in China?
no he isnt... pakmei.net is ontario... wu wai-kwan is in vancouver http://www.bakmei.ca/main.html
if you read doucets articles and all that you will see that wilkie wu donated one form i think... thats the extent of their affiliation... doucets site isnt even linked in wilkies link page...
FARUQ
where in the articles you referenced does it say that wilkie is a sifu for the school in ontario???
wilkie is legit and can document his lineage and history, not only with documentation but also with pictures... alone either of these could be suspect but together they paint a pretty iron clad picture... not to mention that he is recognized by the clc fam... he trained not only under yip chi sum but also under the famous late chow fuk and the late kwok chi cheung...

I've never been a Doo Wai student. I did buy a couple of videos from his whitetigerkungfu.com website with Dan LaRochelle several years back, but I was never an actual "student". I don't think Doo Wai has told anyone the truth about where he's from in China. I once saw him post here that he had been friends with Ark Yuey Wong if I'm not mistaken, but I don't think Ark Wong even knew the truth. It would be great if someone could find out, and see what people in his village would say about his family and Bak Fu Pai. That'd clear up a lot of conjecture....or maybe it wouldn't, lol....

Fascinating topic and replies. Thanks for the great thread on this wonderful style.
anyone else know the titles of some good bak mei books... any lineage... titles? authors? links?
Depends what you would like to know about Pak Mei.
Personally I favor: Pak Mei Kungfu - The Myth & the Martial arts by S.L. Fung and in Chinese the book of Pak Mei Boxing by ZhiZui Wong (内家勁功白眉拳 - 黃志軍).
A must have is most possible Pak Mei Kungfu of H.B. Un.
Links? Of course ours ...(www.pakmeipai.nl)
