Welcome to Tom Wong's kung fu site.
To our members, we are presenting many ancient Chinese secrets such as, kung fu (Tai Chi, Wing Chun, and Shaolin/Aumei DeSui), medicine, meditation techniques (Chi Gung), and legendary masters (Yuen Kay San, Sum Neng, and Chen Ko, which are all documented by Chinese government and presented on Chinese national TV during the 1980's), which will enrich our reader's view on Chinese culture and philosophy. Our goal is to ultimately achieve harmony with nature, personal achievement and better health through self-discipline, and to build a peaceful community.

and agility that when Wong demonstrates it even now is awfully
impressive . . ." (Front page article dated September 17,
1999, by Dan Frosch, reporter for the LA Times).
- "My experience with Sifu Wong was
very enlightening, his impressive side kick bruised my shoulder
through a 5 inch pad, from just an arm's reach! And sent me
flying back! He was able to lock on me with a side mount that
rendered me helpless, I was not able to do anything and at 6'4",
240 lbs, this was something that I couldn't imagine happening . .
." (Chris Hahn, third degree black-belt in Tae Kwon Do).
- "Sifu Wong . . . very fast and
powerful . . ." (James Demile, Bruce Lee's first student in the
United States, author of Wing Chun Do, and a Grandmaster of JKD/Wing
Chun).

sensitivity since Bruce Lee . . . the best Wing Chun expert in America
that I know of . . ." (Jerry Poteet, Bruce Lee's student, a
Grandmaster of JKD, an author, and movie producer).

applications and techniques that are at a different level; the level
of sophistication in Desui enables one to accomplish more breaks,
controls, and holds quicker than other arts." (Justin Bronk,
black belt in Jujitsu, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, and has 20 years of martial
arts experience).
- "Tom Wong's Yuen Kay San Wing Chun

principles and applications in Sifu Wong's teaching in two months than
I have ever learned in years with other schools." (Barry
Setzer).
- "Sifu Wong demonstrates speed and
power that is very impressive. The techniques in ground
fighting, such as arm locks and leg locks and getting out of
submission holds, is also very impressive . . . I am a black belt in
Karate Korja Kempo system (Okinawa hard and soft style). I
learned from my father, the great Tigi Mataalii, nicknamed
"Iceman", who holds the world record for breaking 9,000
pounds of ice blocks, and a 7-time International Karate
Champion." (Harris Mataalii).
- "Sifu Wong is an awesome trainer,

Hernandez, Zach Padilla, . . .).
