Michael studies Kung Fu over 30 years. We have known each other only five years, in these days, I follow him to travel around to visit the kung fu masters. I think deeply that Michael is a very lucky fellow.
If I say so, is somewhat unfair to Him. Michael spends every day over 4 hours to research and practice kung fu. There are 24 hours a day, deducts eight hours for working, in addition eating, sleeping and other things to do. Spending four hours a day on Kung Fu; he is worth admiring.
But I refer to the fortunate is, Michael may follow and learn from those masters who are worth respecting and bowing.
Michael visited completely these masters for several times to show his determination to practice and learn kung fu, and finally the masters took Michael as a pupil. It is not only about the tuition fee. It is also an affirmation to Michael that he pays the painstaking to Chinese martial arts and traditional kung fu. The masters know that this long nose, German fellow, who promotes positively Kung Fu in the overseas, all give the greatest support to encourage Michael, and teaching is also more detailed. The Chinese cultural, oneself Chinese people are not interesting to cherish and study, therefore the masters give all the techniques and knowledge to Michael.
Michael’s teachers are all very famous and great. Michael’s passion to Kong Fu earns himself the respect from these masters. He shines out with great brilliancy, which flashes back from these masters. Even a person standing aside feels so proud of him just like me. It reflexes on me also.
Sometimes
it is better to be modest. But I should not be. To Michael’s attitude and zeal
for kung fu, I am so resolute to proud of him.
The theme of today is master Lau Kar-Yung（劉家勇 師父）. He comes from the famous Lau Family（劉家班）in Hong Kong.
Lau Family（劉家班） is the most respected kung fu family in Hong Kong who is second to none. Lau Family has tough training of kung fu and the real skills. Even the famous Jacky Chan Stunt Team（成家班）emphasizes on movie stunts, can’t compare with the Lau Family. The conductor of Lau Family, master Lau Kar-Leung（劉家良 先生）has high prestige and command universal respect.
Master Lau Kar-Yung（劉家勇 師父） obtains the true, original, tradition kung fu skills from master Lau Kar-Leung（劉家良 先生）。There are Hong Quen, Monkey Style Boxing and Lion Dance。Especially the Monkey Style Boxing and the Lion Dance indeed widen my horizon.
Master Lau Kar-Yung’s stature is small. Because of this superiority, when he annotates the Monkey Style Boxing, is especially lifelike, nimble as a real ape. A single movement, a slight expression, looks like easy and simple; actually is very difficult to imitate the mold.
The Lion Dance divides into drum and lion head two main parts. Master Lau Kar-Yung is influenced by what he sees and hears since childhood. When he plays the drum, nobody can reach the level of his rhythm. He holds the drum sticks, both hands up and prepares the movement. The next second, the fast movements of hitting the drum show the touchable rhythm nearby our ears. The clear and melodious notes are not only beautiful as the pearls fall to the jade plate. We can hear the mood of the rhythm sometimes sounds like mighty, sometimes sounds like mischievous. The rhythm coordinates flawlessly with the lion head.
Master Lau Kar-Yung’s lion head playing also presents lifelike. Blink the eyes, open and close the mouth, it seems like a little mischievous lion playing around. Suddenly, the rhythm changes, from the low point to the culmination. The little mischievous lion turns to a brave and skillful fighting lion. When the lion head is on master’s hands, not only a colorful lion mask. It is a vivid, substantial, touchable, preternatural happy beast.
In the end of 2006, Master Lau Kar-Yung was invited to come to Munich for a seminar, respectively Monkey Style Boxing and the Lion Dance. There were numerous people, and obtained the general high praises. In the end of this year 2008, we invite the master Lau Kar-Yung to come again to Munich. On 27th of November, Master Lau Kar-Yung will arrive in Munich, launches seven days teaching and sightseeing.
Coming more detailed here, and do not miss it.
