Gray interview from Sifu Sergio P. Iadarola

While in Toronto, Canada, I had the opportunity to sit down and interview several Sifu from the Yuen Kay San / Sum Nung lineage 👉🏼https://youtu.be/aslOk1EmQBM?is=2rs3mxNtSacvShlm

Toronto has such a large and vibrant Chinese community that, in many ways, it reminds me of Hong Kong. One of the great things about this is the number of Kung Fu Sifu from Hong Kong and Guangdong who have made Toronto their home, bringing with them their knowledge, traditions, and personal experiences.

It was a real honour to meet and learn from these Sifu and to hear their stories about the lineage, their training, and their journey in Kung Fu.

Today, I’m pleased to share my interview with Sifu Kenny Lee.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. 🙏

From Sifu Sergio P. Iadarola

Sometimes, things simply need time before they are fully understood and accepted by the majority.

The realisation that the Secret Note, recorded by Law Tai Wan in 1890, is genuine and authentic was not only a shock for me personally, but also something that naturally faced resistance from parts of the Wing Chun community.

But the tides are turning.

I want to sincerely thank everyone in the Wing Chun community for the incredible support surrounding my last two videos, in which I interviewed Sifu Wong Kwong Lun. These are, without doubt, two of the most important videos I have ever published on my channel. I believe that, in the years to come, people will understand even more clearly just how significant those interviews were.

Today, I present another bombshell interview, this time with a Sifu from another lineage, connected to both Sum Nung Wing Chun and Mai Gei Wong Wing Chun.

Sifu Wong holds important positions within the Guangzhou Wing Chun community. He is the Sihing of Wong Nim Yi, the son of Mai Gei Wong, and a direct student of the late Grandmaster Sum Nung, successor to Yuen Kay San.

Please listen carefully to what he has to say.

At this point, I will simply rest my case.

More and more people are beginning to realise that what I have been saying all along deserves serious consideration. For that, I am genuinely grateful.

I have always believed that, in the end, the truth will always find its way to the surface.

THE PART MOST PEOPLE WILL MISS

Part 1 introduced the story.

Part 2 goes deeper.

This is the more important part of the interview and it contains material you simply cannot get from a short introduction.

In Part 2, Sifu Wong Kwong Lun shares more unique footage of the art, deeper information about the transmission, and details that bring the history and practice of Snake Crane Wing Chun into much greater focus.

Some of what is shown and discussed here may challenge what you already believe about Wing Chun.

That is exactly why I ask you to watch it carefully.

And then watch it again.

There are details, movements and pieces of information that are easy to miss the first time.

This is not a video to watch once and scroll past.

It is documentation.

It is testimony.

And for anyone genuinely interested in the history and preservation of Wing Chun, Part 2 may be the most important record in this series.

Don’t watch it looking for something that confirms what you already know.

Watch it with an open mind.

Listen.

Look closely.

And come back to it a second time.

Because years from now, we may understand the significance of this footage very differently.

Grading week 🥋🔥
Another grading week in the books, and a great reminder of what Kung Fu is really about. It’s not just about learning techniques, forms or earning the next belt — it’s about discipline, patience, respect and constantly challenging yourself to become better.

Grading gives you the chance to put your training to the test, but the real achievement is everything that happens before you step onto the floor: the hours of practice, repeating movements until they become natural, pushing through when things get difficult, and having the discipline to keep turning up.

One of the things I love about Kung Fu is that everyone is on their own journey. We all have different strengths, different challenges and different goals, but we train together, learn from each other and help each other progress. 🥋

A massive well done to everyone who graded and to everyone who supported throughout the week. Seeing the effort, determination and energy from the whole team made it a special one.

Proud of the progress, proud of the team, and grateful to be part of the journey. ❤️🖤

The belt is just a symbol — the real reward is the person you become along the way.

Keep training. Keep learning. Keep growing. 👊🏽🔥

❗️ Bio of Sifu Wong Kwong Lun

I was born in Hong Kong in the early 1950s, a time when China was gripped by political turmoil and uncertainty cast a long shadow over the region. As events unfolded across the border, many of China’s most renowned Kung Fu masters sought refuge in Hong Kong. Bringing with them generations of martial knowledge, they established schools throughout the city to preserve their arts and traditions. Almost overnight, Hong Kong became a living museum of Chinese martial arts, and I was fortunate to grow up during this extraordinary golden age.

For young boys of my generation, Kung Fu was far more than a hobby, it was a way of life. It seemed that every other schoolboy was training in one style or another. At the age of twelve, my father introduced me to Hung Kuen under the legendary Sifu Chan Hon Chung. What began as a childhood activity soon became a lifelong passion. Over the years, I immersed myself in a wide range of martial arts, including Karate, Muay Thai, and Liu He Ba Fa, always searching for deeper understanding and greater skill.

Then, one cold night during the Chinese New Year celebrations, fate intervened.

Hong Kong in the late 1960s could be a dangerous place after dark. After spending the evening at my girlfriend’s family gathering, I left the celebration at around two o’clock in the morning with one of her younger brother’s friends. The streets were almost deserted, so we decided it would be wiser to take a taxi home.

As the taxi made its way through the sleeping city, I found myself giving an impromptu lecture on the importance of learning Kung Fu for self-defence. The driver listened quietly at first, then began asking thoughtful questions, questions that revealed a depth of knowledge far beyond that of an ordinary taxi driver.

The conversation continued for several minutes before he finally revealed his identity.

To my astonishment, the man behind the wheel was none other than Grand Master 羅昭榮 -Law Chiu Wing the renowned master of Snake Crane Wing Chun.

The odds were almost unimaginable. Among thousands of taxis travelling through Hong Kong that night, I had stepped into the one driven by a legendary martial artist. What seemed like a simple taxi ride became the turning point that changed the course of my martial arts journey forever.

Not long afterward, I formally bai si (拜師) and became Sifu Law’s disciple.

Because of his many commitments, Sifu Law entrusted my early training to his senior student, 李遠 – Lee Yuen, Sifu Lee. During my first year, Sifu Lee patiently guided me through the fundamentals while Sifu Law visited whenever his schedule allowed. He would carefully observe every movement, correct even the smallest mistakes, and ensure that the art was being transmitted with precision and integrity.

During that time, I introduced three close friends to the school. They also became Sifu Lee’s students, and because he trained us day after day, I naturally came to regard him as one of my own Sifus as well.

About a year later, Sifu Law resumed teaching more regularly, and my training entered a new phase. Over the next two years, I learned Cham Kiu, Biu Jee, the Wooden Dummy form, and the sophisticated techniques that made Snake Crane Wing Chun such a unique and complete system. Under the combined guidance of Sifu Law and Sifu Lee, my understanding of martial arts deepened beyond anything I had previously experienced.

Eventually, another chapter of my life began.

I travelled to Canada to pursue my education, spending three years overseas before returning to Hong Kong after graduation.

Before I left Hong Kong for the second and final time, Sifu Law completed an important stage of my training by teaching me the Six-and-a-Half Point Pole and the Double Swords, advanced weapons that represent some of the highest levels of the Snake Crane Wing Chun system.

More than fifty years have passed since those days, yet the lessons I received from Sifu Law and Sifu Lee remain as vivid as ever. Their teachings shaped not only my understanding of martial arts but also my character, discipline, and outlook on life. Looking back, it is remarkable that one chance encounter with a taxi driver became the doorway to one of the most important relationships of my martial arts journey.

Even today, I often think about that cold Chinese New Year night and wonder whether it was simply coincidence, or destiny, that placed me in the back seat of Grand Master Law Chiu Wing’s taxi.

黃廣麟 – Wong Kwong Lun

Everyone worked hard, pushed themselves, and supported one another throughout the class. It's great to see the dedication, effort, and positive attitude that everyone brings to training each week.

A special welcome to the couple of new students who have just started their journey with Schools of Kung Fu. We look forward to seeing your skills, confidence, and knowledge grow with every session.

Keep up the great work, everyone—we'll see you at the next class!

Change is where growth begins.

In Kung Fu, progress doesn't happen overnight. Every class, every repetition, and every challenge helps us become stronger, more skilled, and more confident than we were yesterday.

Change isn't always easy, but it's through consistent effort and an open mind that we improve—both in martial arts and in everyday life.

This week, challenge yourself to embrace change. Step outside your comfort zone, learn something new, and remember: small changes made consistently lead to big results.

Train. Grow. Change.
