Good information and links - thanks to all.

While we're on the subject, I thought I would ask something that I've been wondering about for a long time. Maybe Blacktiger or Citong Shifu will be able to find out... or perhaps someone else knows?.

It concerns Wan Lai Sheng's teacher, Du Xinwu (Tu Hsin-wu). In Smith & Draeger's Asian Fighting Arts, Smith writes:

'When over sixty years old Tu defeated his senior student three times, the last time sending him to hospital. This student entered the 1928 national tournament and badly hurt several opponents by using illegal methods. The other boxers threatened to kill him unless he withdrew. He retreated, but in the Shanghai tournament a few years later he was again in the thick of things, using an illegal eye-spear, until he was forced out.' p.27

Who was this student, and does anyone know anything about him?
