Hope you all have seen the thread that Phrost made in the forums on great maists of all time. For the CMAs, I got G.M. Tung Sheng Ch’ang. I have plenty of info on him to do a little write up, and I can post it here for additional input from the folks here if we want.
Who else would fit? It has to be people who we know did xyz. The problem with CMA is that there is so much legend out there, it’s hard to tell fact from fiction. So we’ll probably be limited to 20th century dudes, like Ch’ang. Wong Fei Hung comes to mind as well, but I don’t know a lot of details, maybe Ming knows?
So, do we have any others, who fit the profile, who’s credentials can be verified.
Wouldnt mind seeing his 13th son and disciple get mentioned as he is worth mentioning.
Master Gene L. Chicoine
He certainly is. I can plug him in after the sentance about the ISCA.
Wong Fei Hung is hard but he needs to be added.
Just for the simple fact he inadvertently created one of the greatest Shaw Brothers directors.
Wong Fei Hung created Chang Cheh?
What about Hung Hsi Kwan? I thought he was one of the 8 drunken immortal gods.
Nope:
That is why I said one of the Greatest Chang Cheh is one of if not the greatest.
This guy doesn’t get the credit because he is titled as an action director.
Yet, who gave us: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, 8 Diagram Pole Fighter, Mad Monkey Kung Fu, Martial Club, Legendary Weapons of China, Spiritual Boxer 1 & 2, Clan(Fist) of the White lotus, and many others.
He was also the action director for what I would argue opened the door for Bruce Lee: 5 Fingers of Death.
Wong Fei Hung
Lam Sai Wing (Butcher Wing)
Liu Charn
Lau Kar-leung(Liu Chia Liang)
I talk with a guy that still trains with him and he is 74 if I recall correctly. He had some pics up and I hope I can move as well when I reach his age.
How’s that look?
It is Fake??? Do you want to do one on Hung Hsi Kwan?
I was thinking of doing one on Huo Yuanjia founder of Chin woo(?)
He activley had other teachers instruct from his school. Something people try to claim was non-existent in the past of the Chinese MA world.
If I can find some legit sources that don’t have overly hyped stories.
