Grand Master Chan Hon Chung (1909-91)
For more information about, Chan Hon Chung: http://www.hungkuen.net/masters-chanhonchung.htm

These recordings are from the, BBC Documentary series (1983): The Way Of The Warrior!

BBC docu "Way of the Warrior"
The series was originally broadcast by the BBC in the early 1980's and was comprised of 8 episodes which featured top Masters of each system. Each part lasts approx 35-40 minutes so the total content is approx 5½ hours long. It is not intended as a training tutorial. It is a documentary going into the rich historical background, philosophy, methods and practices of each system. Each part has numerous footage of demonstrations, explanations and practical applications. Whichever martial art system you may be studying this is a very absorbing and inspiring series.

The series is comprised of:

1 Shorinji Kempo 'The New Way'

2 Kalari 'The Indian Way'

3 Aikido and Kendo 'The Sporting Way'

4 T'ai Chi 'The Soft Way' - also included Hsing Yi and Ba Gua

5 Eskrima 'The Philippino Way'

6 Karate 'The Way of the Empty Hand'

7 Kung Fu 'The Hard Way'

8 The Samurai Way (more)

5:07 so true, now in days no one trains hard any more. most martial artists I've seen only train one or twice a week. lazy bastards.

Too @ Namriu94.

The amount of effort you put into something. Depends on what you want from it!

If you just want an alternative kind of exercise to get in shape, and for your health benefits.

Then twice a week is sufficient enough, for some.

Actually many martial artists does train hard, and many trains almost every day!

(And although the relation between Master and pupil, has changed over the years.

There are still some who uphold the old Master and pupil relations-ship.)

[skytte71]

Too @ Namriu94.

I almost removed your comment, due to rude language.

Please keep those rude parts of your comments, to yourself. (they don't serve you any good) ;-)

[Namriu94]

wait! what was my comment?

[skytte71]

Hi again, its about calling people: Bastards.

(Don't worry, i'm not gonna remove, your comment, from this video.)

In the video after this one (3 out of 3).

your only comment was: "You bastard". It was directed at: "Vojak3" or "maceioninjutsu", probably because you disagreed with "him".

Peace :-)

I have heard that BBC (supposedly) don't, have any recordings left from this particulary documentary..

So if, the original broadcasters of this doc.(BBC). even isn't in the possession of these footage's themselves...?

One could suspect, that they (BBC), would be grate full to see, that their recordings/footage's hasn't been completely lost.. (Unless of course, people where making bundles of money from it)

@popsjnr

i heard about Jim Uglow

I was there 2 times in 3 years...my master 15th times..

the ambulatory is held by cheon. and all the patients come to him for his wong's formulas.

He has the Wong fei hung book of the formulas. I saw it

Kong was his practice brother...they were the best of chang's school.

[maxis4real87]

@popsjnr i've seen Kong pui wai when i was there. He came in Si fu ambulatory and he gave to Kong his medicine or something...

in chang Hon chung lineage of Hung Kuen..the successor is the one who holds the medical part of Hung Kuen and Wong fei Hung medical formulas, not the one who holds the HKCMAA.

they were his 2 pupils, but cheung (even if he's less famous) is the successor.

PS look at the videos...who performs the forms and tecqniques?

[maxis4real87]

@MrNath5150

now his succesor is Cheon yee keung, the then youg guy with white shirt and red belt who performs kwan dao, part of fu hok and sup yin.

i've been in hk by him 2 times

[MrNath5150]

Correct me if i am wrong but i think that the traditonal way of medicines is better evan though healing is probaly slower. do you know if the school and sergery are still going? do they have one teacher for medicines and one for kung fu or do they still have one teacher that teaches both the traditonal ways?

[MrNath5150]

do you know who the master of this school and surgery is now? i would be a shame if the school only has 1 teacher for kung fu and 1 for the medicines and i guess now-a-days people teach the modern way and the traditonal way witch i think is better evan though it is slower way of healing.this is my opion.please don't be offended.
