Here are some pictures of Grandmaster Wong Cheung performing the Black Tiger Chopsticks and Bowl form as well as him on the famous Black Tiger 9 Armed Grinder Dummy. Also a close up pic of a sisuk of mine in Hong Kong on the Grinder Dummy. It's made of Concrete, and Metal. Enjoy!!

Excellent pictures! Thanks.
Not being critical, I really appreciate that people are posting pictures. However, pictures are missing the dynamical nature of the art. Although a video clip still can't justify the art thorougly, it provides a cleared depiction. I wish ....

Thanks Eric , was it an old Real Kung Fu Magazine article? jeff:) Hi Jeff, No not from “Real Kung Fu”. Got it out of “New Martial Hero”. In the 70s/80s, there were many Kung fu mag published in Taiwan/Hong Kong and even Singapore. Collecting these magazines became an fixation with me back then. Actually I got to blame my dad. My dad is a MingHe boxer from the old-line. He was a big-time collector of kung fu manuals/books in his time and it was from him that I picked up the habit. Some of my most treasured materials are really old kung fu manuals from him. The other priced collection is my kung fu schools anniversary magazine. Here is SE Asia; it is customary to host a once-a-year dinner. Kung Fu friends/associates and other sector of the community are invited and you issue a magazine to commemorate this. In this, you would talk about your style, lineage and even techniques/forms etc – in short everything about your kung fu style. I have a very big collection of these magazine from different schools spread all over Singapore and Malaysia. Some are from Taiwan/Hong Kong given to me by friends and associates. That is why when I come across suspicious claims on the internet, I would just refer to some of these magazines – the history and lineage section. My digital camera is not with me now but when I get it back, I will shoot more pictures for you. Including covers of some of these magazines. Thank you.

I got some that are ads free - just info about the style and school. But you are right - most schools need to cover cost of printing and distribution. Back during my time, a lot of businesses like to associate themselves with certain Kung Fu clubs. They are the financial backers behind Kung Fu clubs. The dinner is usually subsidized and guests come with Ang Poas. Some are very big. ;D ;D ;D

Yes, most mags are like that.
But I do have some that are simply:-
Messages from noted folks. Historical info. Lineage Chart.
followed by forms display etc etc....
These are rare though.
Some clubs also produce their own training manuals and I have quite a collection of those too.
Not easy to obtain them. Need much convincing. Back about 6 years ago, I started a internet project called KungFuGalaxy.
I went round to the various remaining schools in Singapore and got a bunch of these manuals.
I am now planning to put these on-line as a way of storing and sharing.
Top on my list is the form "Babulien" - many Karate folks are doing various versions of this form and I thought it would make interesting read to see the old Chinese version.
