Sifu Fong

I first met Sifu Francis Fong not long after I started training Wing Chun under Sifu Dan. Sifu Dan said that there was to be a seminar in the park in New Iberia coming up with Sifu Francis Fong. At the time, I did not know who Francis Fong was but I soon found out. We all met in a concrete block building in the park and there were probably about 30 or so participant "students" in attendance. I think Sifu Fong concentrated mostly on SLT that day which was great because it was what I was trying to learn at the time. We all did the form by following another of Sifu Dan's students. I thought that was great because it was difficult to see when a single person was making a mistake and I'm sure I made plenty of them. Sifu Fong took over and really made the seminar interesting. He told many stories of his past and present and made everyone happy to be there. He demonstrated a few things that seemed to everyone to be basically impossible. I won't go into that here because I don't have permission, but suffice it to say that it was terrific! Over the years, I went to many of Sifu Fong's seminars, many in different places and I thouroughly enjoyed every one of them. I'm just sorry to say that I never made the trip to the Atlanta, Georgia area to go to a seminar at his school. Maybe one day!?
