FLIGHT BACK TO SCHOOL

When Wong Tao was fifteen year's old he went with his father to Italy. It was here that Tao's martial art journey began with training in tae kwon do. Achieving dan grading and successfully taking part in tournament's. It wasn't long before Tao was given a choice of either going to Germany or America for further education. Much preferring the idea of life in the states this flight back to school led to a placement at Texas A & M university, 1970. He stayed there for 3 years before gambling on a career in the movies.
