Good to watch this seemingly historical shoots. Is Mr Lau around and would he demonstrate this again in modern footage? I learnt my sabre moves from a Mr Yip Wei Kay in HK back in 1973, Sifu Yip was one of Mr Cheng's follower and seeing the sabre move here just brings memories!

Thank God, I'm still here.

I knew Mr Yip but not very well. I'd heard that My Yip passed away some years ago.

Good to know you are well. I spent a couple of weeks with Sifu Yip in '73 and '76. Then I lost touch as I only travelled back home in the 80s. He taught me some gigong stuff as well. It was more like yoga, I just learnt the 1st 12 moves and gave that up. Sifu Yip was a good man, we played mahjong once or twice as well.

If ever you'll update your sabre routine on YouTube, please play it slower, I shall definitely pick up from you what I have left and start doing it regularly.

My present schedule is rather tight. I won't be able to re-make the video.I'd suggest that you download the video to you PC & burn it onto a VCD. Play it slow on the DVD player.

The "qigong" you learnt is actually neigong or internal strenght exercise. It'd been a secret teaching of the tai chi school. Please don't stop practicing this valuable exercise.

Thanks for posting this George, I am learning sword and finding it pretty useful, not an easy form to learn but real good for footwork...
