More on KUNG FU...

 

You may not be aware that Master Chow Keung is actually the “Si Dai” (i.e. the younger learner brother) of another classic kungfu movie icon  CHEN KUAN TAI !  Tai Shing Pek Kwar- aka Monkey Kung-fu , is a mystical martial art originated in prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /China around1850's.  Both Chen and Chow are students of this style of kung fu. 

 

In 1977, Chen Kuan Tai had written, directed and starred in a movie calledTHE IRON MONKEY even against the strong objection of the Shaw Brothers Studio.  According to him, it was because of h is strong personal feelings for the founder and the origin of this specific style of kung fu.  However, this movie had gotten him into a long legal battle with Shaw Brothers later on...  Following are a couple of short clips of Chen in THE IRON MONKEY (1977):
