Yeah choy lee fut looks pretty good. Youve done a lot in your time, great stuff.Do you still retain any of the kung fu knowledge and would you say youd use any of it still in self defense?

Later i needed a new challenge so went to the Thai Boxing gym(which i had to travel 2 hours to get to) and tried to do the same,this time i was getting neck kicked and kneed quite a bit! any way i fell in love with Muay Thai,the smell of the oil,the colours in the gym,the music and the technique,that was it!.

Kept up my Wng Chun training but gradually did more and more Muay Thai.

I also did a couple of years Choy Lee Fut,now there is a style with lots of potential to have great fighters.

Sorry this sounds like my life story! just wanted you to know i did pressure test myself and skills in those days,now? oh man im toooo old! it hurts!.
