Hi Brett,

I have not had the pleasure of knowing William Yeung, but I knew Wong
Li in 1984. He taught quite an amazing array of forsm - Fu Tai Chi,
Leung Yee Tai Chi, Sun Tai Chi, Yin Ba Gua (circular), Yang Ba Gua
(linear), Xing Yi Quan, Tiger Boxing, various staff, spear, sword and
sabre forms, various boxing forms ........ It was almost like a
contemporary (modern) WuShu school, but I suspect that although he
may have been trained in those physical culture institutes in China of
the 1960s and 1970s, he did train in traditional WuShu under Fu Wing
Fai as his master also. Hence, he is not the usual contemporary WuShu
teacher.

Wong Li says he trained under Fu Wing Fai since he was about the
tender age of 5 years old, thus making him perhaps the most senior
disciple of Fu Wing Fai. Actually, if I remember correctly he implied
so. His form work is very good.

Regards,
John Chow
