I have no idea who he is but he teaches shuai jiao and chin'na and i'd just like to get some more info on him. the interweb fails me right now.

you sure you got that name right?

Looks like Sifu Chu from International chinese Canadian kungfu federation.
Maybe zhao is one of Chu's students? I'm pretty sure the guy with the beard is Chu though. Anyway, he goes to most ICCKFF meets. You can probably run into him at one of those events in and around the toronto area.

I think he runs his club out of a place in scarborough. Last I remember that's where he was and there was a lion dance teacher there named Lat Yip as well.

as an aside, does zhao sound liek chu phonetically?

that's definitely Chu. I've been to that club and met him both there and at a tournament. My traiing partner knows these guys and is a member of that federation. He does sport Shuai Chiao but also teaches traditional methods beyond taht. He is one of the few SC teachers that are available in T.O though.

Oh, if his name is Chu then whoever recorded that is totally off. I'm not too sure and I was just curious. There are actually two schools in that area that teach Shuaijiao, the other is Master Sunny Cao, it looks more Shuaijiao oriented http://youtube.com/watch?v=xfR4R1qHuCo.

Sifu Chu's school is 2115 Midland Ave,Unit 5, Toronto,ON M1P 3E4
and Sifu Sunny Cao's schools is 63 Silver Star Blvd Unit C6 Toronto Scarborough, Ontario Canada

If someone can actually go there and get me some more info, I'd really appreciate it. I'm actually creating a comprehensive North American Shuaijiao directory right now ( http://shuaijiaonation.com/site/?page_id=4 ) so I can use all the help i could get.

Well, my friend gets back from hk around mid june. I'll ask him about contact info for the federation and post it here then.

[sjnation]

sounds good, if anyone else is in that area too, be sure to check those schools out for yourselves and report it to me! haha thanks!

[sjnation]

Any word on this school?

Hello Sjnation,

Did you receive any info about Zhao laoshi ? I'm verry curious myself.
I couldn't find any other info on the web also.

Cheers,
Ace

sorry, i haven't checked this forum in a while and completely forgot about it.

He was a member of the Canadian Chinese Kungfu Federation and had a school on midland or silverstar boulevard in Scarborough not far from centennial college here in Toronto.
I will ask my friend again next Wednesday now that I remember this thread is here.

Thx D-R&R,

Some info about trainingtimes, styles, fees, etc... or direct contact info would be great.
I'm flying in from europe at the end of the year for a bout a month, it would make things a lot easier for me.

Cheers,
Ace

Ok. I just finished training and asked about sifu chu.

it is the same guy. zhao and chu are interchangeable phonetic ways of saying his name.
anyway...

best i can do is:
International Chinese Kung-Fu Association
2115 Midland ave, unit 5
Toronto , Ontario

on the corner of sheppard and midland.

the rest you'll have to google.
