Mr. Ip  Chee Keung, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2009

Today was Monday. Adrian went to work for the future of China, Daniel finally managed his tickets to New Zealand and left us.

I took a ferry to Kowloon, opposite side of the Hong Kong Island. This is the district where Bruce Lee was grown up more or less, funny thing that I could not find any Bruce Lee movies in the DVD stores of Tsim Sha Tsui. This part of Kowloon is a big shopping center with big brands, small shops and dizzy streets where everything is for sale. I really mean everything! Hi-tech, cloth, girls, hotels and striptease bars, massage parlors and money change.

But my aim was different. I crossed Kowloon till the suburb to visit Grandmaster Mr. Ip Chee Keung, the old master of Chow Gar Praying Mantis Kung Fu. I was witness of a small traditional training exercise with the old master and one of his 'costumers' as he expressed. According to his age Mr. Keung is really in a good shape and I was greatly honored to meet him.

olyan nem volt. egy rohadt nehéz botott kellett tartanom és alkarból fel-le emelgetnem amíg ők ketten egymás kezét próbálták meg elmozdítani. jól kiröhögtek mert nem a bot végét fogtam, mert úgy könnyebb volt. de a csóka aki középen van a képen begcsinálta simán. viszont az öreg kezét ő sem tudta lenyomni. meg kaptam gyömbért.
