Just sitting here marinating on my kung fu learning from times past to the present. In all honesty it seems that everything I've ever desired to learn has been given to me. I have accumulated much over the years and am very humbled and thankful to those who have instructed me in the proper way. Fighting now is an obstacle that I have overcome, by that I mean Kung Fu with me is not about fighting anymore, I experienced that stage long ago.
From a young boy until now, Chinese martial arts and the science of it, I mean going beyond the style and technique has been my unyielding passion, this is what i'm supposed to be doing. If I have reached any success in Chinese martial arts it is due to the quality instructions from those I consider my teachers, without them, I would not have been able to endure.
What I would like to do now with concentrated efforts, is pass this great martial science onto the younger generation and perhaps they will be empowered with self-confidence, self-discipline, self-control while becoming their own HERO, ultimately becoming a productive member of society. When I was at the height of my kung fu learning, I frequently went to the Great Star Theater and watched classic Shaw Bros. Movies; if I went early I could watch Kwan Tak Hing play Wong Fei Hong.
Most of all I remember being introduced to Lau Gar Leung on the big screen and thought his skills were fantastic. I soon came across a article in the then, "Real Kung Fu" magazine that had a feature on Lau Sifu and the different styles he experienced, I, thought if I could just learn what he knew in my ignorance somehow my skills would elevate, I, came to learn this was not the case, what I did come to find out is success in kung fu is not by emulating, rather hard and deliberate work. When folks ask me about Tung Mo Wun Hop Kuen, I would like to state that Tung Mo Wun Hop Kuen is an inclusive system of martial application. In TMWHK, one may witness skills and concepts from different systems, the only difference now is its interwoven nature of skills providing more options of applying which gives it a unique character and flavor. Tung Mo Wun Hop is neither this nor that style, rather it is a omni thinking discipline that places emphasis more so on the individual than any of the given styles that are a part of its makeup.
This system of work is all encompassing, simply meaning my learning since the age of six, beginning at the local boys club until now has set the stage for myself to learn, absorb and now renew. This now is natural and alive for me.
The true essence of Tung Mo Wun Hop Kuen is freedom. You are free when you can exercise your skills and forget about them, all the while confident in your knowledge and abilities.
