Fung Sifu, your Master was said to have only taught 8 disciples during his boxing career. You were the smallest and last of the third generation from Leung Jan?
SECRET #14

I once heard a story about a famous fight between Master Leung Jan and Wong Fei Hong of Hung Gar fame. Can you tell me anything about this?

SECRET #20
Can you tell me about the origins of Wing Chun?
SECRET #21    
Fung Sifu, Wing Chun is often considered to be a fusion of Snake and Crane boxing. What do you feel Wing Chun is derived from?
SECRET #22   
Have you heard of another woman's sect Red Boat actor lineage that stems from Yik Kam? This lineage preserves just one long Siu Lin Tau set and not the modern three sets of orthodox Futshan boxing?
SECRET #23    
Fung Sifu, many people feel Red Boat Sifu Wong Wah Boh was responsible for the split of one long set into three sections. Who do you think broke the one long Siu Lin Tau set into the three that most people practice today?

I am told the famed soft boxing of Master Leung Jan that he passed to your Sifu, Wong Wah Sam, cultivates Chuk Geng. Can you tell me about the foundation of your soft "Noi Gong" internal art?

Fung Sifu, in the early 1960's you left Kulo and went to Guangzhou (Canton) for a short time before ending up in Hong Kong. Your nephew and pupil, Fung Chiu (Fung Gen Ju), was said to also leave the village with you. Fung Chiu was said to have fought many "gong sao" challenge matches in Guangzhou and defeated his opponents with ease. Can you tell me some stories about Fung Chiu Sifu? I was told his grandstudent that it was Fung Chiu's hand outside Kulo and Fung Daat's inside Kulo from the 4th generation Sifus.

SECRET #27
Fung Sifu, your nephew, the late Fung Sang, was one of the few to openly teach Pin Sun Wing Chun in Hong Kong in the early years. Fung Sang was said to have done extensive research of your family's history and the practitioners of Kulo Pai Wing Chun. Fung Sang once said he had written a book that he one day wanted to sell but never did. I am told he had 2 large books kept in his Hong Kong Clinic containing much about your family history and Leung Jan's Pin Sun Wing Chun Art. Will these ever be released to the public?
SECRET #28
Fung Sifu, in recent years there have been many variations of Wing Chun coming out from Kulo. Can you tell me about the different systems and how they relate to what Master Leung Jan taught your Sifu?

I have seen the wooden dummy set very low or short to the ground in your Pin Sun Wing Chun teaching. Can you tell me about your "jong" training?
SECRET #30
Fung Sifu, the "Som Dim Bun" pole is a famous set of your village and Leung Jan. The Futshan systems use more Shaolin horse stance where your pole uses the Wing Chun horse. Can you tell about the 3.5 pole? I am told most Pin Sun Wing Chun Sifu's specialize in fist and pole techniques.
SECRET #31
It is said that the "Yee Ji Dit Ming Dao" are the bladed weapons of Pin Sun Wing Chun. Some Wing Chun systems do linked sets and some do "loose" methods with the knives. Can you tell me about the knives as taught by Leung Jan?
