1993 New York City - Sibok Jesse Eng Harry Sibok introduced me to his fellow Lam Sang Disciple and Brother, Jesse. Eng Sibok was one of the seven people who lived in one apartment with Lam Sang in the 1950's.
|
Today, I keep
regular contact with Eng Sibok. He sometimes comes to
Hong Kong and we went to the Tsuen Wan Jook Lum Temple
together several years back. |
Eng Sibok (and Harry) also trained in
Chow Gar (Yip Sui Gar). Eng Bok is a veteran of the
Vietnam War. |
Over the
years, there has been a semblance of Lam Sang's brotherhood
continued. Louie Sifu, Eng Bok and I enjoyed company
over a meal in Philadelphia.
|
Streets of Philadelphia - Louie Sifu, Eng Bok and RDH I forget which year this was.
|
Jesse
Sibok with his family also visited my school. It was a
memorable visit that my students didn't soon forget. Eng
Sibok is a true gentleman and family man. |
1993 New York City Harry and Jesse Siboks
introduced me to Wong Bak Lim. Wong Bok is the "dai si
hing" first disciple of the first generation of Lam Sang's
teaching. (RDH and Jesse Eng Sibok rear) |

|
RDH and Bak Lim Sibok Bak Lim and the 1st Generation of Lam Sifu's disciples were instrumental in the second generation learning at the Chinese Freemason Club.
|
Although, I have not returned to the USA
in 10 years, I call Bak Lim Sibok and on occasion I have
called him so that our China Kwongsai Mantis Brothers can chat
with him. |
circa 1995, after some 50 years Lam Sang's disciples still kept brother-friendship.
|
NYC - Bak Lim, Jesse, Harry and RDH. I
think this was the last time we four got together circa
1995. Unfortunately, now Harry has passed. But,
Jesse is coming back in 2011 and we will meet up in Hong
Kong. I hope that Bak Lim will come along with
him!
|
When I closed my San Fran school and moved east in 1993, I opened a new branch in AL and Jesse and Harry Siboks both visited this
school!
|
On Average
this shool had about 30-40 who showed up. Many learned
mantis well and related stories of how the teaching had
benefitted them and even some related self-defense situations
they survived because of their training.
|
Some received the transmission. Some have
given it back!
|
