Kung-Fu Theater Demo (January 9, 1993) by Kelly Magovern

Back in 1993, our demo team was invited to perform on Kung-Fu Theater, which was a TV show that aired in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was just a TV show that would show old kung-fu movies, and they would always have an intermission during which some local karate school would showcase their talent. So, we were invited on this particular day.

If you can't tell, I'm the kid in the red wushu outfit. Some of the other performers were John Ozuna, Jim Kirby, Jim Vincent, and my instructor, David Thomas. The host of Kung-Fu Theater at the time was Sifu Tat Mau Wong, who ran a Choy Lay Fut school somewhere in the Bay Area, too. Tat Mau Wong and my instructor were good friends, so that's how we got on the show I think.

@Cubehead666: LOLZ! We were a loud bunch back then. And it was just a loud style. My instructor always encouraged me to be "like an animal." Primal, baby! HAHA!
