From his origins in Hong Kong as a disciple of the late Grandmaster Moy Yat to his emigration to England en route to Canada where he eventually settled in 1973, subsequently establishing his first Sunny Tang Martial Arts Centre growing into a successful chain of schools across the North American continent.

Review – Sunny Tang – Gong Sau (From VTM’s IWS Vol 11)

It is clear from the outset of this “download only” video that it is another sub-standard, seminar footage offering. The video and sound are very poor and this is stated on the website before you purchase, which is a good thing otherwise you could be very disappointed.

So, what about the content itself? To start things off, Sunny Tang gives a quick introduction to his student Jeffrey Chan who in turn goes on to give a description of what Gong Sau actually is. Gong Sau, according to Mr. Chan is physical combat with no protection that usually takes place between practitioners of different styles, mainly to find out whose Gung Fu is the best. It has also been used in the past to settle arguments. Sunny then explains that Gong Sau is not sparring, and is completely unlike training with a compliant friend as your “friend” is unlikely to hit you back. This gets a huge round of applause!
