Sorry for the late entry.
His correct name is Tham Kuan Seng not Tan GuanCheng. He is my kungfu brother. He practised 7-star Praying Mantis.
He won his 1st championship in 1972 at age 17 during the Malaysian Championship organised by the Choy Li Fatt school. In this championship, we won 2 1st place and 1 3rd place out of 9 catergories.
In the 1974 match, it was an invitational matches where 6 kungfu men vs 6 thai boxers. 2 won and the other 4 lose.
