Great-Grandmaster Wong Gong
Wong Gong aka Wong Ming Sang, was born in 1928 in the city of Kong Moon (Jian
Men), Guangdong province of China. He began his study of Choy Li Fut Kung Fu
when he was 10 years old from the famous Choy Li Fut Great-Grandmaster Chan
Cheong Mo. Besides his great Kung Fu skill, he is also an expert in
traditional Southern Chinese Lion Dancing . Each year when the city had its
annual city parade and on all the other celebrations for different
occasions, he was the lead lion head performer. He was also one of the
senior instructors of Chan Cheong Mo's Hung Sing Studios in Kong Moon city.
When he was 17 years old, he met Great-Grandmaster Chan Yen, the chief
instructor of the King Mui Village's Hung Sing studio. Wong Gong and Chan
Yen got along quite well and Chan Yen invited Wong Gong to visit the King
Mui Village. After Wong Gong paid respect to the original Hung Sing Studio
founded by Chan Heung in 1836, he saw and admired Great-Grandmaster Chan
Yen's fighting ability and his Choy Li Fut skills. He decided to ask Chan
Yen to take him as a closed-door student. Chan Yen believed he was a good
martial artist and a good student and accepted Wong Gong's request. When
Wong Gong was 19 and 20 years old, he taught two branches of Hung Sing
Studios for Chan Yen in the neighboring villages of King Mui as the head
instructor.
In 1949, when China turned Communist, he went to Hong Kong to work as a
traditional Chinese herbalist and acupuncturist. Although there were too
many traditional Chinese medicine physicians in Hong Kong at that time, he
was very talented and made his living as a marine seaman and worked on the
ships as a carpenter and maintenance engineer for many years. Since Hong
Kong was handed back over to China in1997, he has practiced Chinese medicine
as a full time profession until today.
Wong Gong learned all of Choy Li Fut's unusual animal forms and the
founder's special weapon, the Nine Dragon trident and other advanced weapon
sets from Great-Grandmaster Chan Yen. Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong is his senior
student and the primary representative of his teaching outside of China.
