The day passes so quickly after an early morning moment sat out in the Gwoon, remembering my late Sifu.
Today he would have been 73 years old.
My memories of him are when he was in his forties, still very active and powerful, and in his experimental teaching phase. Then as he aged he continued to find unique ways to teach his art of Wing Chun to new generations, and I’m blessed to have been his student.
Even after he stopped teaching me, he continued to guide me, and always had time for a coffee and a catch up! I also had many opportunities to visit his Gwoon and see each successive group of students and observe his new methods of teaching.
I understand him so much more now that I’m teaching too. I know he was always developing and I still hear his voice and feel his spirit sometimes, especially when I’m in the Gwoon trying something new!
I can only hope he’s able to see how well his family and students are doing, and that he is remembered always by all who knew him.
Happy heavenly Birthday Sifu! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
