Training With The Grandmaster - The Most Valuable Teaching

15 December 2023

During my trip to Hong Kong I trained every day with Grandmaster Ip Chee Keung. How it is to train with him? I show it in this video.

Unlock the Secrets of Ancient Martial Arts: My Intense Training with The Grandmaster, Sifu Ip Chee Keung

Have you ever wondered what it's like to train with a living legend? Imagine stepping into the shoes of a kung fu student and experiencing the raw intensity, discipline, and wisdom passed down through generations.

In my latest video, Training with the Grandmaster, I take you on a journey to Hong Kong, where I had the honor of training under the gatekeeper grandmaster of Chow Gar Tong Long kung fu, Sifu Ip Chee Keung. This experience was unlike anything I've ever encountered, and now, I'm sharing it with you.

What It’s Really Like to Train with a Grandmaster

At 74 years old and weighing just 56 kg, Sifu Ip Chee Keung might seem like an unlikely powerhouse. Yet, this small, elderly man holds an immense force and stamina that defies his size and age. As a 51-year-old practitioner weighing 72 kg, I was astounded by the sheer strength and endurance he demonstrated during our training sessions—twice a day, every day.

If you’ve ever trained with someone significantly younger or larger than yourself, you might have an idea of the challenge. But this was different. The wisdom and energy Sifu Ip possesses are truly extraordinary. It’s not just about physical power; it’s the mental fortitude and mastery over every move that left me in awe.

Why This Training Stood Out

Chow Gar Tong Long kung fu is a style that emphasizes short power—delivering maximum force with minimal movement. Training with Sifu Ip was a deep dive into the intricacies of this ancient martial art. The precision, the focus, and the sheer intensity of every session were both humbling and inspiring.

In the video, you'll see firsthand the rigorous routines and drills that pushed me to my limits. But more than that, you’ll catch a glimpse of the profound respect and camaraderie that develops when training under a true master.
