Thanks for posting those

Really inspiring documentary, really respect Lam Chun-fai's approach to teaching his family's art, wish more kungfu teachers shared his attitude!

Isn't the visiting guy one of the two guys visiting Shanxi in the xingyiquan Kung Fu Quest episode?

Anyway, it does seem that Hong Kong guys are among the most open in teaching traditional martial arts - probably resulting from more influence from the West (including English language fluency), and perhaps modernization and the resulting lack of interest to martial arts for most Chinese now... Lam Sai-wing's publishing books on the Hung style's main three sets was also of course a very big step back then (plus, the drawings are pretty awesome).

Good that Lam Chun-fai's son got interested in the family art! The "spark" that gets one interested could be almost anything, but it is hard to know what that will be beforehand.

in the first vid:
"its very different in foreign countries,
the foreigners treat you like a VIP,
their thinking is that, they not only just learnt kung fu from you,
but thousands of years of chinese culture."

i think this is very important.

thanks for posting, love hong quan movements.
