Yesterday, the opening ceremony of a new Traditional Chinese Kung Fu Associations. It was founded by the legendary actor Chen Kuan-tai together with the equally famous Anthony Wong. Among the guests were Pierre Ngo, Teddy Robin Kwan, Jason Pye, Leung Xiu Long и Susan Shaw. Chairman of the Association Chen Kuan-tai hopes to bring about improving reform in martial arts without any differentiation between schools. Martial arts have always united people, and he is eager to tell about “the essence of martial arts through both the art itself and virtue.”
Anthony Wong joked that the position of president of the association is only to allocate funds for the development of martial arts, but did not admit how much money he spent. Wong said that he liked martial arts since childhood, and he dreamed of opening his own school.
Teacher Chen Kuan-tai and I rented a room in advance. I constantly watched how trainees copied the movements of monkeys, and I myself wanted to become a student.
Can he fight? Wong answered: “At my age, I can’t do it anymore.” He also explained that the association received such a name not only because it is not about any one school or style, but also about the hope of popularizing the spirit of the nation.
Popularization is good! I would do something similar myself if I had the money. :)
