whether the title door-man, disciple, student is apt is one thing. Master Chen Tin Hung [CTH] did learn for significant time from wu dai kwai [wdk]
CTH is great fighter and made most important contribution to HK Taiji world, esp. Wu style. Many have this view.
However, when he fought and injured people back in his home village, he did come to HK to his uncle Cheng Wing Kwong , who recommended him to learn from wdk.
I still have with me, old folk K that practice with him in wdk's place at that moment. And when CTH was ambushed in Wanchai, Gooseneck Bridge, by sword painted black, this old folk visited in hospital. He is still alive and around.
also, when cth first started up, he had a difficult period, I have one other old folk L,who learn from him, in the afternoon in Argyle Street, and they went out to drink coffee as a custom ,only two of them, when they chatted ernestly. Those years, he got marriage problem and little students. he frankly told this old folk why he refused to accept he learned from the kam chuen Association openly...one simple word... it is market strategy.
And later, CTH made good achievement, one friend of mine, Y, was his team captain for fighting in Wanchai QE Stadium, that was time of Tong Chikin. CTH also told Y frankly about that he learned from WDK.
There are others who were with CTH in South China sports Assn, under WDK those years, they are in their 80-90s, and they are still active and healthy and available for yumcha with me now.
I know about this early since the 1950s, when CTH started up, got famous, teach the USD people, and then got the control of the HK USD parks. Not just hearsay.
Of all books of HKWu style, other than the gold book [ you can say better than the gold book] the best photo record of the wu form is CTH's yellow book. Any one who learns from WDK would know he was always saying 'SAAT YUNG' Practical. And this is the slogan of CTH at start up. CTH, WDK do look similar in approach and emphasis on short time training, simple approach, and throw/takedown skills.
There are few others with this , probably in Wu style all over the world,.....even
Shanghai Kamchuen, Beijing Wu style, and even the KamChuen under Wu kungyee.
over the world we now have those lineage like LeeShuk[ LeeJeungShut]-MokChi-YiHoo-LeeManCharn[mai sung Lee] , good in throw.....from WDK.
we also got DanDancherty in UK from CTH
their similarity? throw.
DOOR MAN, seems a downgrade word but actually learning from someone else and getting as good as the teacher or even better always happens. |
蒙塵答道:
鄭天熊在九歲時,隨叔父鄭榮光到香港生活並學太極拳。上世紀四十年代中幫助
叔父在南華體育會教拳。1949年(19歲)自立門戶,在灣仔的一處天台作拳館。
他注重實戰訓練與及願教太極功。因此,一些久練拳架而不懂內功的,與及跟隨
其叔父的學生也轉投他的門下。在灣仔教拳十年,訓練出幾名打爛仔交的打仔,
也積蓄了一點小財富。
到60年代初,在九龍旺角亞皆老街買下一頂樓作住所暨拳館(現今的香港太極總
會)。在婚姻出現問題時,他休息了一小段時間。那時,學生都走到公園自練,
而不是少學生。他的善戰的學生,常為他招徠更多的學生。
看看吳家所教的散手,再看看鄭天熊所教的,當知其中有別。
