Hi Eric, Does your Siaolim inlcude the tonfa? We do the tonfa. Here's my friend Tan Hoo Gwan with tonfa: Hi Simon, No did not do the "Tonfa" in SiaoLim. In Nanyang, I only studied the sticks. Later on with Ah Joo, I did the 2 handed sword - kinda like Japanese/Thai sword. Most of my weapon skills come from Tai Chor and Fuzhou Crane. In recent years, I picked up more from Chou Jia's Sifu Fong Fook Wai. The one that I particularly like from Chou Jia is the "Tiger Fork". Personally, I love all the heavy "horseback" weapons and carry-along short sticks. Thanks.

When I went to Sibu to talk to some of GM Huang's descendants, I was having a difficult time understanding them. And this is normal everyday's conversation. When it came down to discussing White Crane, we might as well have a translater around...hahahahaha So your linguistic range is impressive - trust me on this one.

I consider the weapon "Kwan Dao" the weapon of virtue becuase of how it was represented and made famouse by Gen. Kwan Yu. Gen. Kwan Yu was known for his martial virture, he was a very righteous person, loyal and would not hesitate to take up the cuase of the oppressed. Aside from his strong moral character he was also a very skilled martial fighter and a good general. He showed unmeasurable bravery, courage, virtue and loyalty to his emperor and the people that he defended and served. He was well respected by his enemies that when he was captured they try to convinve him to switch side but Gen. Kwan Yu refuses to betray his emperor, his people and his country he was executed with honor, given a heroes death he died as a true respected warrior. Gen. Kwan Yu exploites soon become legendary, after his death people started venerating him and soon he became a WARRIOR SAINT OF MARTIAL VIRTUE.
