Great, I found a thread already about KunTao.

The more I read about Sikes, the more excited I am to begin.

Great Grand Master Willem Reeders as Liu Seong (at his Transition in 1990) was once said to have been "the deadliest man in the world". He held a 10th Degree in Kodakan Judo, only two other people in the world ever equaled this rank (during his lifetime). He also had mastered the deadly art of Kun Tao, the particular form of combat which is reserved for royalty, and only revealed within the family from Father to Eldest son or next immediate male descendant. Great Grand Master Reeders has descendant sons studying the arts in America and Asia, and a nephew (Master Teacher) teaching an Indonesian style of the arts in California, where his sons were studying the arts.

Great Grand Master Reeders was also the subject of study for the television series "Kung Fu," the program which originally aired during the 1970's and continues to be broadcast in syndication. The Reeders family, to this day, remains a very well known family throughout all China and especially in the martial art world.

Great Grand Master Reeders, awarded only one person, Grand Master Art Sikes, the rank of MASTER 4TH DEGREE in Chinese Kung Fu through the Liu Seong Kung Fu Federation.
Anyone here ever train with him?
