Welcome to the forum. Could you give us some background into your experiences?Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum but not to martial arts - indeed I was training as a youngling many years ago. I'd be fascinated to discuss the martial arts and talk about my own experiences as a student, teacher, warrior and monk.
Best wishes,
Monk Wong
Would love to see some video of your personal training.Very happy to share! I was born to the son of a local fisherman - a humble beginning - but through my training in the northern Shaolin initially, and then training under Master Li (family style) I managed to get ahead in life. Happy to answer all questions![]()

I did indeed learn from Master Li - they say even demons feared him for his fighting prowess what that of a tiger. Indeed Master Li learned from Grandmaster Yang. For clarity, Master Li had only two students. Any other questions?
I'm not referring to Yang Chengfu - 'Yang' is a common name in Chinese, it is a terrible shame you are not aware of this. Grandmaster Yang was a different man, greatly admired in martial arts circles for his crushing fist. Most of my training occurred in Henan province; considered by some to be the homeland of martial arts and one of the wisest provinces.
I will share a story from my training as a youngling - perhaps that will be a sight for sore eyes?
It appeared to be Yang Chengfu did it? Was this in a vision you had? Anything else appear to you? How about we stop with your imaginary fairly tales and face the truth.
Yes, some think Shandong is the martial arts province, others think Henan - hence "considered by some" etc.
If you are referring to my homepage: The Temple of Monk Wong - it is alive and well thank you. However, I am not an armchair warrior and spend most of my time training in real life.
Yes, happy to talk about my childhood as son of a local fisherman. I grew up cleaning the fishing rods, dealing with the fish etc. It served as decent Li Gong training, toughening my muscles and mind. Indeed I was thought of by some as quite an upstart at times, dealing with local hoodlums and the like. One day however I saw a martial arts demonstration (Long Fist). I stepped into the fighting arena, considering myself a strong'n, and was soundly beaten by my opponent. It was after that I embarked on my journey into the martial arts.
Any other questions?
It didn't appear to be Yang Chengfu to anyone but you.
Yes, I was born in Henan and speak the dialect fluently, but as this forum is for English speakers I think it's best we communicate in that language. As for the pinyin of Master Li - sure, it is "Lí".
As I keep on typing I speak the Henan province dialect but I insist we type in English here as that is the format of this forum - I don't think this is hard to understand.
I am no longer in the Himalayas, though my training there proved fruitful. I had a particularly interesting encounter with some bandits a few months ago, but perhaps it is a story for another time.
As for Grandmaster Yang - I am not certain he would want his true identity revealed. However, I can tell you that the pinyin is "Yáng".
