Sad to report a Death

[hunt1]

I am sad to report the death of my friend, Sihing and Sifu, Chao De or as known to some of you Danny Chao. He posted on the forum as Horserider.

He fought cancer for some time but it finally got the better of him. He was a great friend and martial artist and was most concerned with the martial aspect of the art. He learned and fought as a professional Thai boxer and was a very good free style and greco roman wrestler.

It had been his desire to bring his families Wing Chun to the public. To this end he had been conversing with some of you here. I will try to continue to answer the questions that people had been asking him. Although I am limited due to my lack of understanding of the various dialects his family speaks. At his request I am going to put together a few basic videos and make them available to those that request them.

The Wing Chun comes from Leung Jan through his student Lo Kwai also known as Chu Yuk kwai or Butcher Kwai. While not well known in the west many in China know of him as Leung Jan's second at challenge matches and as the person that arranged the first meeting between Leung Jan and Fung Sui Ching. He also mediated the dispute between Fung Sui Ching and Chan Wah Shun.

The family has kept a written record of their art that was started by Lo Kwai and has been passed down and added to till this time.
