​My Masters

I am privileged to have learnt under two grand masters right here in New Zealand, who themselves were 'brothers' in martial arts. The late Wing Koi (Peter) Young from China taught me Shaolin Fut Gar Kune (Buddhist Fist) Kung-Fu, while the late Phillip Kwong from Hong Kong taught me Traditional Yang Style Tai Chi. The pic below was taken on 26 August 1995 by Evening Post staff photographer Phil Reid at Crawford Green Park, Miramar, Wellington NZ. Left is Phillip Kwong (Taichi) and right is Wing Koi Young (Kungfu). We did Taichi 7.00am weekday mornings throughout the year at the park. It was amazing to feel the energy of them both in the same space. ​
