It is great to see Sifu Anthony Lau...I studied kung fu with Sifu at the Ying Yee Kwoon Academy in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC for some time with my cousin....the lessons learned and great times spent with Sifu will always be with us....
This was the best video documentary of NYC Chinatown ever. I wish I can purchase this in its entirety. Master Wai Hong is the most respected of all the present teachers....Simply, NONE better
Wow! I was there with Sifu Lau's karate contingent. Although, Sifu Anthony Lau is mostly known for Hung Gar, he also was a student of Peter Urban. Thus, we performed a karate demostration. I was one of the uke's for that demonstration with then 1st dan black belt John Benedict.
Thank you Martial Archive TV. I love seeing these old videos from the time I started training. It's nice to see what was going on then. Do you have a current show? If so, where can I see it? I think traditionsl martial arts is being overshadowed by MMA. It would be truely great to know that neo-traditionalists, like myself, are stil going strong.
Sorry, the show has been off the air since 2003. There wasn't any advertiser support for it by then. We would be very happy to start up again if somebody could find a sponsor. Martial Arts seems to scare off people with money unless it's MMA matches. We are not interested in MMA except as a training style on an equal level with all other martial arts. Perhaps one day but we're not sure.
I am an avid fan of Martial Arts history, and it pains me to see that traditional martial arts is being put to the side for MMA. I love traditioal martial now and forever.
Its okay, Cung Le is one person that came into MMA and showed people that traditional martial art is extremely powerful. Most traditional martial artists who are really dedicated won't go into MMA because it is mostly about the fame and martial arts is supposed to be about making yourself better. Look Cung Le up, he is undefeated.
Does anyone know where I can find the full video of this 1988 NY demonstration? Is it available for sale or for download?

Wow, I can't believe this is on you tube. I was there when this was filmed and was a student of Sifu Lau. He had a school in Glen Cove.
