Influence Decisions . . with Chinese Martial Arts & Pugilists
My initial introduction to these pioneers of Chinese Martial Arts was an opportunity of a life time. I did not realized
the impact this would create or that it would be such a significant part of my childhood. Growing up in a diverse
community was a self-learning experience. We did not have too many friends or neighbors that was easy to identified with our Chinese cultures. Like many Chinese families since 1945 (post World War II), our father & mother were limited in the English language and also too busy working to establish a home for us to grow and to associate with in the community.
We developed a unique family structure to keep our spirits positive & at the same time respect-the-hands-that-feeds-you.
The greatest support to the ' beginning of my martial art's training and experiences ' came from my Father. He had
a natural 'gift-of-story-telling' that left such an impact that I always wanted more. "Mr. Louie" had the keen insight to hang-out with much-traveled men that had experiences beyond their years. The other siblings at this particular time was not as enthusiastic in my strong interest in outdoor sports. My early discovery during the 1960's was the introduction to the art form, "T'ai Chi Ch'uan" (Yang Style). My father mentioned an Uncle practiced these great techniques daily to achieve better health.
From his observation, "Mr. Louie" knew that I was the one with the ambitious attraction to physical sports. During this time, I had enrolled in a local community center in our neighborhood to participate in out-door sports. (baseball, soccer, & running) However, I noticed that this center had a "Boxing" program for boys & girls. I immediately took interests & drew the attention of my new friends. One of my favorite techniques was to hang upside down onto the chin-up bar and perform consecutive sets of 50 sit-ups. Because I was
much smaller than most of the boys, the larger & heavier student 'Boxers' had befriended me. They took me under-their-wings and guidance and encouraged me to push beyond my skill level for better results. ie. Never be afraid or hesitant
to ask for help or support. One must be able to share ideas by extending courtesy and honesty for improvement.
The friendship & respect extended would last a lifetime with my new friends. Brotherhood, Family, & Tradition.

Meeting early Pioneers of Chinese Martial Arts
I acknowledged that the early days of martial arts was limited to the diverse community of our neighborhood. But
that did not sway my adventurous mind to meet some of the heroes-of-Chinese-Martial-Arts. Our father after a long
day at work, would always have a story to tell after dinner. As a charter member of the Soo Yuen Benevolent Association (遡源堂) the Louie/Lui/Lei (雷), Fong/Fang (方), and Fung/Kwong/Kuang (鄺) surnames, he had many contacts which included educational & social activities for the family. One of our family favorites was watching invited guests from Hong Kong (British colony until 1997) performing Chinese Martial Arts and the traditional art form of Chinese Lion Dancing. The 1960s brought skillful artists of Chinese Gung fu to our annual events from the "Far East" into California. The opportunities for these pioneers exist in cities such as Oakland, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Stockton through functions in these Soo Yuen Benevolent Associations. Other cities included are Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. My exposure to these skills include Sil Lum Kung Fu, Hung Gar, White Crane, Praying Mantis, & Wing Chun.
As a young boy, I was very eager to attend these annual banquets during the Chinese New Years' events. My father
(Mr. Louie) expressed to these "Masters" that he had 2 boys that wanted to learn martial arts. In order to be accepted as potential students, it requires strict discipline and approval from the teacher (Sifu) and the parent's acknowledgement. After meeting the Sifu, the opportunity to acquire these special skills had begun with once a week training. The Master started my lessons with very basic exercises to show my commitment, endurance, loyalty, patience, and sincerity. Since loyalty is also part of the initial training, we began with building a trust between teacher and student by repetitive stances known as mǎbù (馬步) "jop ma bo". Stances are important, especially in the Northern and Southern Gung Fu styles.
The "northern stance" can be perform by lowing both legs and tightening the lower abdomen with the eyes focusing straight ahead.The "southern stance" is much lower as it imitates riding a "horse" sitting in a horse saddle. These
technique of exercises may last and continued to be applied from 3 months to 2 years. Stances are the most basic
as it involves both legs to perform multiple types of low bending strenuous exercises. Traditionally these exercises provides the foundation as it requires great effort, energy, and exertion. Total focus and concentration necessary

During the 1950's, finding a kung fu teacher was not readily available. A secret-code-of-ethics was strictly enforced by the martial arts' community. It was not to be shared unless you were part of their immediate family, and/or approved by the Chinese Association of Family Elders. It was a time when the student "Does Not" ask or question the kung fu teacher on types of techniques that is to be practiced. It was fortunate also for a practitioner to immigrate to a country where the language of origin was not their own. A student showing discipline, loyalty and respect was most important to gain trust.
It was equally important that a good teacher is willing to share their ability and talent with a worthy student. I learned
from the time I was a child, that the abilities to learn comes " from the heart ", as my physical progress continues to improve. My father remembers my first few words I uttered was basically out of curiosity. This early habit carried over
my abilities to see, to speak and to touch towards the object(s) I envisioned. As a child, I was always looking for ways
to explore and try out abilities that I was not able to explain. It was easier to just watch and mentally envisioned the repetitive techniques shown to us as beginning students. The ability to learn and earn this skill requires more than just being there. It is done with participation by physically taking part experimenting techniques by 'qualified teachers'.
Most martial arts' teachers did not have the abilities to explain them in the English languages. However, there were students educated in the English grammar and assisted the Sifu's (teacher) in the lesson plan. The 1950's brought forth businesses that interact with immigrants, locals and travelers from the East coast that had connections with European
and Far Eastern countries. Americans were always fascinated with the Chinese culture, especially the fighting abilities
of Chinese martial arts. The early teachers and instructors kept a low profile to blend in with the community. Some would accept jobs in loading docks, maintenance, and trade to establish a foundation for their own families. Typically, the men that migrated into America would travel alone initially, then after establishing employment, would send for their wives and family members. The travel to America from the Far-East was by ship, which took three months into the San Francisco bay harbor. Our father would tell us stories meeting kung fu masters performing martial arts' skills in the streets from his childhood in Taishan, a county-level city in southwestern Guangdong China. I listened attentively with each breath taking story as Mr. Louie shared his experiences from his adventures. My father was very detail in describing the movements of these master's kung fu skills. He would show and mimic their techniques as I fantasize and imagine what it would be like
to live during this era. Kung Fu in early America was full of mysteries and had an impact with these "God-like abilities".
龍虎風雲會, The dragon and tiger met as the wind and the cloud.
徒兒好自爲, My disciple, you must take good care of your future.
重光少林術, To revive the arts of Shaolin.
世代毋相遺. Don't let the future generations forget about this teaching.

During my youth from 1960-1970, I had the opportunity to meet some of the early practitioners in
Chinese martial arts. I was in awe of their movements and wanted to learn every technique(s) that I could
be exposed to. The First Lesson I was given, was to never comment or ask question to why I had to imitate their techniques. Second, I had to not share any of the techniques I was taught or to exhibit these movements out of spite, Or to show off any abilities of superiority. And Third, I had to treat the instructor as my second father figure. The title of Sifu 師傅 or 師父 (teacher) was an oath I was obligated to show loyalty and respect. This meaning was a title and role of a skillful person, teacher, tutor, master and "Father".
The advantage I had as a martial art's student during these early years, was my ability to understand the basic techniques in Chinese with my Sifu 師傅 or 師父 (teacher). This prove to be a positive in my training because I also had to communicate, understand and speak Chinese at home with both my father and mother. There would be several occasions we would just follow our Sifu by imitating him. As a young student, we were in awe of his ability and talent as he move effortlessly from one technique to another with ease. I remember many times, Sifu would catch me going through the motions without any regard to the immediate techniques that we were expected to learn. He knew that I was also learning the American Art of Boxing (pugilism). Not showing his reaction or any interests in my other activities, Sifu kept to a strict lesson plan for me. Discipline, Focus, Integrity, and Loyalty was part of my Maturity as I advance with my athletic skills.
Attendance and punctuality was to develop character, discipline, and respect to the Sifu 師傅 or 師父 (teacher). This is also one-of-the-most important aspect to build confidence in maturity for a young student.
As a sibling in a traditional Chinese culture, the important concept is not-to-be-late-for-dinner. Being a student or a child, we bear the same responsibility on how the parent (elders) and Sifu are to be respected. To develop and understand these simple rules would show my discipline and mental focus to advance and move forward to the next level. Maturity can only be exhibited by the reaction of personal gain and progress.
As a young student I had many questions that needed answers from the very first day of my lessons. But
I had to show respect and resilience to the Sifu 師傅 or 師父 I remembered the advice my father (Mr. Louie) said to me during our initial introductions to the Sifu. Experience through Practice for Quantity equals Quality.
Respect and Acknowledgement with the traditional front "Salute and Bow" of the head (Ditou 低头).
ie. (close left hand to form a fist, and open right hand to cover the left fist)(next lower the head, bending the neck downward) (depending on the style, extend left leg forward, slight bend at the Knee and perform " Ditou ")
This gesture is the proper greeting each student must display before and after each lesson(s). The important aspects is to show commitment, focus, honor, integrity, loyalty, and to fulfill behavior development for quality benefits of life. The Sifu 師傅 or 師父 (teacher) is consider a "father figure" regardless of the age(s) of the student. The student in return display personal behavior patterns as they progress individually. Humility is a term place on practitioners throughout their training. It also is often misinterpret or misunderstood as cowardly or being too boastful. But Humility is the Ultimate act of courage.
* * * * a wise tale "to be respected" one must have the ability "to be received" * * * *

In my decades of searching and learning about my ancestry, it has cross paths into my interests in
the Chinese martial arts. My father (Mr. Louie) had contributed to fantasies about individuals with super strengths and magic powers in the Chinese culture. In the early days in America during the 1950's, there
was Not an over abundance of martial arts' teachers available. Their abilities to open up these skills were prohibited from the elders of communities that had a strong Chinese population present. They had a strong voice to what can or could be shared or distributed to the general public.
The elders of each "family structure" has always been the strong voice for decision making. This bond
has been in existence since the early arrival of settlers during the 1850's California Gold Rush and the
building of the Transcontinental Railroad. The leaders endured early struggles and produced hard-working attitudes, willing to accept low-wage jobs. Because migrants were mostly men, they accepted the role of family with the promise of a better life. Unfortunately this attitude also created jealousy and resentment amongst their counterpart non-Chinese workers. Emotions Expectations and Feelings are Not Facts.
My adjustments during the early 1960's proved to be a learning scale as the neighborhood was mixed
in different cultures that were not Chinese and not diverse for our immediate family. Sure there was limited classes for small gatherings which taught English as a Second Language "ESL classes". We were brought up in situations that only our father had the ability to answer and respond to. Unfortunately, he was limited in
his ability to be fluid in the English language. Mr. Louie's story telling had a huge impact communicating
in my quest of the Chinese culture, especially "Chinese Martial Arts".
A 'great favorite fable' I enjoyed as a child was during a Chinese New year Festival that brought three famous martial artists from mainland China. One Master's technique was to shatter multiple boulder rocks with his fists. The second Master's technique was to toss bricks into the air and break them by flicking them with his fingers. Not to be outperformed, the Third Master's technique was peeling raw olives with his fingers and simply pinching the "seed" until they Exploded! My father had many of these stories to entertain us at the end of the day during our family dinner meal.
Wong Fei Hung, Ip Man, Chan Heung, Hung Hei-gun, Huo Yuanjia were iconic practitioners from the city
of FoShan, Guangzhou province and Shanghai, China respectively. Their popularity gain many admirers and enthusiasts as they became folk heroes and also influential in the Southern Shaolin school of Chinese martial arts. As a young boy in 1959, my father Mr Louie related his own admissions and stories to entertain us during our family meals. But there was always a message that he would leave for us to find. The effort to listen has given my brothers and sisters excellent opportunities to think and then ...

This 2019-20 Coronavirus Pandemic disease (COVID-19) has affected a 'worldwide population. The cause is by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
