Hello,
I recently have read that the late Wong Shueng Leung had a televised match in where he squared off with a fencer using the baat cham do. I've been unable to find this clip on the internet, does anyone have a copy of it?
Thanks,

Been looking man. It was on live and had to be stopped as WSL cut him to pieces. Funny thing was the swords were blunt but the dude hacked at them with his sabre and turned them serated. They had to stop as he was bleeding everywhere
Benny,
Did you watch the footage?
B
No, way too young. Asked a few of his students about it.
I heard the same.
Dang, that's something that I'd love to see
I think I read it was on the HKTV programme "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" (歡樂今宵).
Sounds incredible, I don't think people in WCK would fare well against a fencer or escrimador.
Anyone know the name of the fencer?
I mean, if some recall so vividly the result then the name should be remembered also.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !

Well, its easy...any of WSL descendants think they could do the same thing against a decent fencer or escrimador?
The technique/method has some weight, but that's not the end to all means. The individual matters, as well as the time & quality put into practical training. Doing BCD form is just the baby step.
I know first hand a Wong Shun Leung student who has sparred with a regional fencing champion - successfully. It's not a mystery - swift footwork and both blades working in unison. But of what use is knowing this to us? If this is something that is important for you to pursue, do it yourself. Living of hearsay and skills of others is not the thing of doers.
