My video was not a slight on Cheung’s relationship with Yip Man or Bruce Lee as some attempted to strawman it into.   The KFG  - LINKS/SOCIAL Come with me to Hong Kong in 2024: https://www.citywingtsun.com/ultimate-hong-kong-kung-fu-tour Get my latest book The Wooden Dummy (or any of my previous books): https://www.citywingtsun.com/shop  KFG Swag Shop (T-Shirts, Hoodies, Mugs, etc.): https://my-store-f24e4e.creator-spring.com/  DISCOUNTED- KFG T-Shirt - Limited Run - $29.95 (reg $34.95) City Wing Tsun Athletic Association: https://www.citywingtsun.com   To Train Wing Tsun in New York City: https://www.citywt.com   Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekungfugenius    Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thekungfugenius    Follow City Wing Tsun on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/citywt  The Kung Fu Genius Podcast: https://wtbuster.podbean.com/   - CONTACT Business email: [email protected] Or write/send something to the Kung Fu Genius: Alex Richter 1024 Sixth Ave 5fl New York, NY 10018 U.S.A.
