Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted September 14, 2014 Administrator Share Posted September 14, 2014 Didn't see this about the compo otherwise I would have done a few shapes and shown the tee off to the camera. It still counts! Awesome photo. Please send it into the contest brother. Here's something really cool... After my friend Butcher B gifted Hwang Jang-Lee three of the 36 STYLES shirts, Hwang Sifu wore one of them the next day for the kicking seminar he taught at the event! Can't believe he moves like that at 70.

I hope more of them share their photos here. I imagine a lot of people will crash when they get home, and post tomorrow or Tuesday. So happy for everyone that got to attend this.

Member Secret Executioner Posted September 15, 2014 Member Share Posted September 15, 2014 Looked like some great event. Amazing to see so many people like HJL. I thought only a little community (essentially a bunch of Asian/MA cinema fans) would know about the guy, but there seems to have been an impressive turn-out. Didn't see this about the compo otherwise I would have done a few shapes and shown the tee off to the camera. That pic is really awesome man.

Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted September 15, 2014 Member Share Posted September 15, 2014 Another great group shot posted on FB. Simply awesome guys.... Wow that's what I call AWESOME. You ALL were very fortunate to meet Master Hwang. BTW he looks really great. . Lets see how old he is. Hwang Jang Lee, (born December 21, 1944) I am 67 he is 70. I don't die my hair but still the man looks wonderful for his age. Also this photo gave me a youthful chuckle seeing you ALL having so much fun. Wow Baby! Were there any women there? As I see only men in the photo. There is a video feed on the Facebook's KUNG FU MOVIE FANDOM PAGE showing Master Hwang singing pics.

It appears to have been around 95% guys in attendance. I'm assuming Hwang Sifu dyes his hair- many stars (Asian and otherwise) do. I think if he did let it go natural- white or silver- he would look even cooler. Very much like The Silver Fox, but with a more modern haircut.

Member MLee Posted September 15, 2014 Member Share Posted September 15, 2014 Had a great time meeting Hwang Jung Lee. He was very down to earth and friendly. They played a short but cool musical montage of HJL clips and the Q&A was fun and interesting. I'm the guy in J Saul Kane's pic on the left in the dark SF4 t-shirt next to Rick!

Member peringaten Posted September 15, 2014 Member Share Posted September 15, 2014 Was a great opportunity to attend the seminar with HJL; I'm extremely appreciative of the guys who put this together setting that up... realised I'm not much of a kicker at all to say the least; us Southern kung guys don't tend to get our legs that high! Won't find a roundhouse in hung kuen, so don't ever train that stuff, & pretty useless with it - but with those few tips from HJL think I will now... Saw Hwang using relaxed circular & subtle figure 8 hip motion to power the legs, same way we do the upper half; movement's all holistic - got me inspired to try getting my legs up more! His technique is beautifully honed. Anyway, after the seminar everyone posed for a group photo; load of people snapping that one - really want to see any copies of those shots... anyone got one??

Cool that you were moved (literally) to get into some legwork. Adding these skills to your training will only help to make you a more well-rounded martial artist. We don't hear from you much here anymore, so I was happy to at least see you in photos of the seminar yesterday. Unfortunately, I saw so many photos and have no idea who took the one I saw where you were seen so clearly. But it was taken while Hwang Sifu was demonstrating a kick, and you were sitting on the floor watching, front and center of the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member dannyv21 Posted September 15, 2014 Member Share Posted September 15, 2014 I read on Instagram that Hwang Jang Lee said that he has never seen the movie Invincible Armour! Not sure how true this is or not (can anyone confirm?) but just thought this was interesting, this is definitely my joint fave Kung Fu movie (along with Prodigal Son). I just think everything about it (dubbed English version) is perfect - I have the Mandarin version there but never got around to watching it (one day!) Think I'm going to have to put it on now... love this custom cover from over at shaolinchamber36.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how true this is or not (can anyone confirm?) Rick Baker: Whilst Hwang was waiting for his car to the airport i decided to put on 'Invincible Armour' told the crowd they where experiencing a unique moment as they where watching this in the presence of Hwang himself. When I spoke to Hwang and asked him when was the last time he saw this film ....he told me this was the first time he had EVER SEEN IT! strange but true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member MLee Posted September 16, 2014 Member Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was very lucky to get my artwork signed by HJL! It's a mix of stuff I've done over the years going back to 2003/2004. The pic with myself and hwang was a new A3 drawing I done especially for this meeting with HJL! So glad he got to see it. Took over a month to complete!!! I greet HJL and give him my drawings to sign. Toby explains to him that these are drawings I done of him. I remember the brief conversation we had! Hwang: You draw? Me: Yes! Hwang: Very good! Me: Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
