MARK GIN FOON SIFU TURNS A HAPPY 84!

Health, Wealth and Longevity

Master Gin Foon Mark's 84th Birthday

Oct / Nov, 2011 News Column --

Mark Gin Foon Sifu (center with hat and shades) is still going strong this year at 84.   I called him again on his birthday (September) and like last year he asked me to write a book for him.  I'm considered doing so, but, what can you say that hasn't already been said about a Sifu as accomplished and well publicized as Mark Sifu!

Although, I have not returned from China to the USA in the last 10 or 11 years, I speak with Mark Sifu by phone.   I call him on occasions such as the Chinese New Year and his birthday.  Just a few weeks ago he asked me to write something on the internet for him.  Mark Sifu's contribution to Kwongsai Mantis is indisputable and his teaching is genius.  What more can or needs to be said?   Read the article I published for him in 1986 here.

Over the years his Ancestral Shrine has transformed into a real work of Art (Martial Art)!  Take a look.

Buffalo Strength

Crossing hands one attempts to diffuse incoming forces by feeling and redirecting them. One should use refined force and technique and not rely on buffalo strength or brute force.

Trapping Hands

In crossing hands, use the mantis traps to control the other's arms so you may land clean strikes of your own at will.

Whole Body Power

For the feet, legs, and waist to act together as an integrated whole, to develop whole body power as one hand, one must keep heel to toe and shoulder width apart so that while advancing or withdrawing one can grasp the opportunity of favorable timing and advantageous position.
