 Album of Visiting to UK Siu Lum Hak Fu Mun 2013 |
Visit to the UK Siu Lum Hak Fu Mun 2013Committee member Alan Low took the opportunity during a business trip to the UK to visit our Hak Fu Mun friends in Bedworth near Coventry. Alan stayed for 4 days and was warmly welcomed. Most of his time with the UK association was spent practicing routines including Single Elbow, Hak Fu Mun Dummy (first part), Iron Wire, Short Staff, Lion Dance etc. and sharing experiences.The UK Hak Fu Mun Association’s premise is a two storey building of over 1000 square feet per floor. There is also a large backyard. The venue is well equipped and the environment is very suitable for martial arts training. In the middle of the venue, a big photo of Grandmaster Wong Cheung and photos of our annual dinner in March as well as the penmanship souvenir are displayed in prominent locations. During his stay, he saw the training process of students in different age groups. The coaches used different teaching methods according to different ages. The discipline is strict and students in many interactive practices. Every student can happily participate in each training sections in hot atmosphere. At that time, his fellow students from the UK were preparing to participate in the British Wushu Routine Competition. Low gave them suggestions and demonstrations on areas for improvement. Alan’s visit further enhanced the friendship between HK and the UK Hak Fu Mun. Although there are differences in training processes, we share the same passion and goal to promote for Hak Fu Mun martial arts. UK Hak Fu Mun proposed to enhance the connection such as visiting Hong Kong twice a year to continue sharing experiences to increase their standard. |

After some email exchanges, we found out that his master, Bob Johnson had followed, Grandmaster Wong Cheung for several years in the 50’s. After then, Bob returned UK and taught Kung Fu. In the correspondences, Paul Burkinshaw was informed the date of our annual dinner and was interested to join in. As it was good to connect with other fellow brothers overseas, we then invited them to join in. Then, Paul Burkinshaw and his student Robert Buckler, visited Hong Kong for five days. In the first 4 days, Tiger Lok and Alan Low entertained them in their visit. Besides of sharing some our routines including Single Elbow and Iron Wire Fist, they visited some places where Grandmaster Wong Cheung lived and/or work, such as Bowen Road, Wellington Street, the former Dragon Ball Chinese restaurant, the roofs of Butt Street and Shanghai Street and the Sham Shui Po Shun Hing Chinese restaurant. Finally, Paul and Robert joined our annual dinner on Saturday. Paul performed Iron Wire Fist and exchanged souvenirs. We all had a happy evening. They also joined our routine training on the following Sunday. After the visit, both HK and UK deepened mutual understanding and trust.
