The Man Who Changed the World: Ark Y. Wong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2021
- It's impossible to say the word "kung fu" without mentioning Ark Yuey Wong. In 1959, before anyone, it was Wong who became the first kung fu teacher to publicly open the door to non-Chinese. It was Wong, through this action, that kung fu began its spread across the globe. Called the "Father of Kung Fu in America," Wong changed history. I was told he was the first kung fu artist to grace the cover of Black Belt magazine, which had been primarily for Japanese and Korean artforms at the time. Ark Y. Wong was the guy in the king fu series who actually throw the stars at the target and it was Wong who trained some of the biggest people in the arts including Dan Inosanto, Doug Wong and many more. This is just a short snippet of his life.

This is Michael Matsuda from the Museum. I was glad to have met Ark Y. Wong while he was still among us. When I used to visit Doug Wong's school, sometimes Ark Wong was there sitting in front. Even though I saw him several times, I only said hello once or twice because I was very intimated by this great leader. I was just a teenager but at least I had the honor of meeting him several times. Before Bruce Lee, before anyone else, it was Ark Wong that began to openly teach non-Chinese in 1959.
Do you by chance know any history behind what Haumea Lefiti(spelling?) taught after he left Ralph Shun?
Not true he taught non Chinese but still only Asians he never opened up until Bruce Lee opened next to him by hop sing tong then he opened his doors to non Chinese but he taught nothing his students show form only make up applications he occasionally showed a move he was arrogant and never answered questions I used to get dit fat from him my teacher had to go translate and he said he wasn't teaching real Kung Fu called it tiger without teeth said most Americans would leave if it was realistic and rigourous extra money only taught Asian's family members only
I studied privately under Grandmaster Wong Ark Yuey from about 1965 to 1970 or until he moved the school from 302 Ord St., Old Chinatown, to a venue on Daly St. The core lessons remain with me.
Thank you for making this clip as the correct information great Phylanthoprhyst of the precious Arts must be preserved and shared!
I belive it's due to GM. Ark. Wongs contribution to the TV series Kung Fu that the esoteric values of the real expression of Chinese kung-fu was shown!
Yes, GM Wong made a huge impact on the tv series. It was an honor to have met him. Thank you for commenting.
To Grandmaster Ark Y. Wong, his family, students, and lineage,
MUCH RESPECT!!!
Much respect...
Appreciated Michael.
With the exception of Dan Inosanto. I wonder if Bruce ever met Ark or his opinion of the Sifu.
Great historic clip👏👏👏
Thank you Arthur.
@@martialartshistorymuseum you’re welcome. Can you also feature Professor T Y Wong and K H Lee.. also very old masters from Master Ark Y Wong’s era
1930’s?
I studied under Ark Yuey Wong’s student, Beto Briseno in El Paso Texas. Beto taught the Five Families, Hung Gar, Tai Chi, Broadsword, and Bagua. He was a very adept teacher. Sadly, I don’t remember much anymore.
Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you as well Blade
I attended a Kung Fu school in the 70s in West Los Angeles. The teachers name was Gary Seuer (not sure of the spelling). Do you have knowledge of that person? thanks. He was a student of Master Wong and I remember going to Master Wong's place where he sold herbs.
I'm a student of Gary Steer since 1979. He lives in Thailand now and we still communicate. I am certified by him and teaching in LA. GM Wong did acupuncture on me twice in 1980. I bought both the yellow and blue books. He signed the yellow one for me.
Gary was a fake. He only taught form and some judo moves he is fat you can see his RUclips video he let him self go supposed injury at work hard to respect that but he was not a good teacher no morals like all of master Wongs people lots of drugs that's why he sold certificate after his death hundreds of blanks found. Who knows what he knew mostly myth. I studied in Chinatown he was not that well known except tong herbs Kung Fu was movie choreography et
Thanks for sharing, kind regards from Mexico City.
Luis, thank you so much for your comments. From Mexico City, nice!
Master wong had been in us years b4 Kung Fu was discovered he taught in San Francisco he taught non Chinese but still asian it was his students who open doors to all he was a doctor never refused anyone treatment his Kung Fu was a hobby. His love was herbs and acupuncture one of the first to be licensed
He was also a baqua teacher n had businesses travel taught at chin woo and studied. He went back to teach when he could. Actually there are photos of him teaching in San Francisco in the 40s lot we don't know . One thing I know is he was very funny and honest I asked him to learn he said I was learning from the best already he was very respectful I learned tai chi while he hung out with all older masters. My teacher was chi yun gee
Thanks for uploading this to RUclips. I knew that Grandmaster Wong demonstrated dragon style in the Kung Fu TV pilot, but always wondered who the other performers were that demonstrated the other animal styles (e.g., mantis, crane). I am pleased the video mentions that these were Grandmaster Wong's students. It is a shame their names were not mentioned in the show or even any of the materials from the show. I have a book that details each show, but the performers names are not mentioned. Thanks again!
Mantis was Kam Yuen.
@@deejin25 I knew that he was a consultant for the show but didn’t know that was him performing. Thanks for the info.
The Master that performed the Dragon was my teacher GM Ark Yuey Wong. His other student and my classmate were Master John Leong performing the Snake and Master Ralph Shun performing the Crane. We were members of the Wah Que Kung Fu Studio under GM Ark Wong. Master Ron Quan perform the Tiger movements and my old friend GM Kam Yuen did the Praying Mantis movements.
Buck Sam Kong taught non Chinese, such as Jose Ramos, Kurtis Fujita, and many others that I can't name, in Honolulu, before moving to LA. Bruce Lee, also taught non Chinese, such as Linda Lee, Dan Inosanto, Taky Kimura, Jessie Glover, and others. But he was discriminated against in Hong Kong, because he was 1/4 Caucasian. After becoming a movie star, he was considered Chinese.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Uussshhh
Professor Lau Bun of the Hung Sing Kwoon was the first to teach KUNG FU, especially the Hung Sing Fut Gar system, in America "before" Wong Ark Yuey started teaching here. He may be one of the first to teach non chinese, but that doesn't change the fact that Professor Lau Bun is the true Father of Gung Fu in America.
They were friends from China, if I'm correct. Possibly from the same village.
@@jaygoodman9577 very true. good friends
There is footage of them performing together in New York at a celebration on RUclips some where. Master lau bun considered master wong his senior they were aquatinted same style family etc - in reality there has been a chinwoo in Hawaii since 1920s and Chinese built railroads taught some friends and others so this argument is dumb - without first episode of Kung Fu not even Bruce lee would have set off such a trend alone .
@@mushinwarrior my sigung mentioned to me that lay bun was first then came Wong ark yuey next.
I am sure there is proof of earlier teachers such as master lee in new York so I seriously doubt master bun was first and with all due respect just watch any of master Wongs students especially jay Goodman you can see how weak and fragmented and hollow it is - and I don't mean disrespectful but I ask you judge for yourself and be honest he is on you tube and any students from any part
Sir I spent a lifetime pursuit of real Kung Fu
My current teacher is considered top 10 in China and perhaps #1,under the Chinese and American organization yet he only calls himself shrfu after my experience at Kung Fu schools I studied combat system s I have lot of experience and feel I'm still mediocre
But I'm tired of perpetual myth of this style and people can't you just do it because you like it?
