Chu Kwong Hua - Successor to Lao Sui - Chu Gar Mantis
In 2002, I returned
to China.
|
I sought out Cheng Wan Sifu again. Cheng Sifu was
successor to Chu Kwong Hua and head of Chu Gar
in Hong
Kong. |
Cheng Sifu held annual Chu Gar Celebrations
once a year for some 35 years. Above,
RDH plays mantis at the 2002
Celebration.

Cheng Sifu
and RDH at one of the annual celebrations. Although, hundreds
of people attended, Cheng Sifu always made me a guest of
honor!
|
Refer to Volume 5 of the
China Mantis Survey eBook
for an indepth look at
Hakka Chu Gar Mantis.
Cheng Sifu was always last to
play!
|
In 2002, Cheng Sifu appointed me 108th Chairman of the
Chu Gar Mantis
Association. A few years back, at his request I made
disciple (tea) ceremony to him. I introduced
European, Australian and Amercians who became his
student. When he passed this year, he not only left me
with Chu Gar mantis charged with the Shrine, he left me
some 200 hours of video going back to 1950!
RIP.
