Hi,

I am collecting info on Fu style internal arts for the group:

http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/fu_style/

I am looking for other schools in Australia. David Shepard teaches there in

Melbourne:

http://www.fusionwebsite.com/wst_page9.html

But I have heard there are one or two other Fu style teachers down there.

Anyone know of their names or contact details?

Thanks, Brett.

PS Join my group if you like!

Hi Brett,



1)  Wong Li's chief student is Fred Li who used to live in Doncaster

     East.

     I think he still does.  But I lost touch with him.

     Fred Li is the most able student of Wong Li and should be able to

     represent Wong Li.

     I do not know where Wong Li has moved to  -  he seems to have

     disappeared totally from Melb!



2)  Thanks for the invitation.  I have just joined your group.



3)  Please extend invitation to any Melbourne Tai Chi practitioners to

     join this group when you meet up ith them.  This group is for

     them!  It is not for me.  It is also not a 'one issue'  or  'one

     event' pusher.



4)  Wong Li was a student of Fu Wing Fai.  For how long,  I can not

     confirm - there are conflicting accounts.  But he certainly can be

     confirmed to be a student of Fu Wing Fai. He is quite fluid in his

     Ba Gua and Xing Yi and Leung Yee Quan movements, as well as other

     Shaolin-like stuff such as Tiger Boxing, staff, WuShu sword and

     spear etc.  I agree with Erle Montaigue in his article in the old

     AFA magazine that (at that time) Wong Li would probably be one of

     the top WuShu masters in Melbourne. I have a copy of that article

     somwhere in my junk of archives. :):):)



5)  Only very remotely related to your project:-  the lady Master Bow

     Sim Mak of USA was also a student of Fu Wing Fai, I assume.  Have

     not heard about her for more than 10 years.



Warmest regards,

John Chow

Hi John,

Thanks for the info and for joining my group! My old Fu style sifu also has

vanished, William Yeung, who was no longer here when I moved back to Sydney.

Anyway he may also be in Melbourne, he was working in his regular job during

the week down there at one stage...

I have heard of Bow Sim Mark, she is still teaching in Boston, though I think

her students do most of the teaching there these days. I am visiting family

down there in Melb this weekend so anyone there who is interested, I'll let

them know about your group.

Brett.

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
