Sorry to hear that. He has lived a long health life. I was hoping he would live over 100.

I still remember the 1st day I joined in his class. I asked him, "What will you do if I punch at your face?" He said, "Come and punch me". I like his attitude. He did more than he talked.

Picture was taken in 1961.

What system did he teach? That sword form is the same one my Tibetan Crane Sifu taught me.
