To Students of Wong Jack Man Sifu

[mickey]

Greetings,

While I do believe that a Master lives through his students, I humbly ask the following:

1- An article interviewing your Sifu before he leaves this world: an article that does not have ANYTHING to do with Bruce Lee. I would like to read about his training and his martial journey. Something that could evolve into........

2- A book by your Sifu, with contributions from his top students, on Shaolin perspectives and insights.

I'd buy that book !

I'd also be interested in buying such a book. Peter Ralston has mentioned that Wong Jack Man was one of his top teachers, but I don't think he went into much if any detail.

This is the closest thing you're gonna get right now (Sifu Wong is a very private man):

I did not know that book was out, Siu Lum Fighter. Thank you for sharing that info with us.

I would definitely buy a book like that.

I've got all the books in that series and they are a great read, perfect reference material for any BSL players or anyone interested in BSL.

Thanks. That looks like a good book all-around, so I ordered a copy. I might get the rest of the series, eventually. Even though I'm not a Bak Siu Lum practitioner. I rarely read, much less buy, many MA-related books anymore, but this one looks to be worth it.

Gene,

What is there to dredge up. You write as if you have no control but to "go there" if given the chance to interview him. So, when opportunism meets respect, opportunism wins for you? I and many others have had enough talk/trash talk yada, yada about Bruce Lee. Why can't it simply be about WJM and his journey? Of course some will argue that BL was a part of that journey. Then what proof do y'all have to justify that?

In response to the aforementioned, I simply ask that the students of WJM simply take the time to document his life journey and his viewpoints on Shaolin (Lohan and Bak Sil Lum) and archive it for his descendants. The push for the sake of public interest is no longer a big deal.

I now understand why WJM is a very private man. Contrary to what others may believe, he is not languishing under the dark cloud of BL; but, rather, he is so wonderfully free of it.
