Our kung fu school held a barbecue party on Christmas Eve in the Mirador Mansion, Tsim Sha Tsui. There were more than a hundred disciples to participate in this party. Not only the general BBQ food, but also roasted suckling pig on-site! Everyone was satisfied and ate as many as he like. The guests all said that roasted pig has an extremely high standard, even much more delicious than the New Keung Kee Restaurant and Wing Hap Lung Restaurant.
Besides the barbecue, we also arrange many activities such like mahjong games and karaoke. Some disciples also took the opportunity to exchange the kungfu techniques with senior or junior fellow apprentices.
Everyone responds warmly to the event. They all enjoyed themselves that night. Therefore, we would like to hold another barbecue party from 7:00 p.m. on Dec. 31st, 2009 to 2:00 a.m. on Jan. 1st, 2010. Students who are interested in this barbecue party on New Year's Eve, please sign up to us as soon as possible.

using chopsticks and a bun
"Enter the Dragon Gate(Lung Moon)and be someone special. Enjoy the tasty dishes served with heart and soul." The Lung Moon Restaurant, located in the busy Wanchai district, had been open for 60 years. As the couplet suggests, besides delicious food, the most admirable element of the restaurant was its strong sense of neighborliness. Alas, as the Chinese saying goes, no banquet lasts forever. The restaurant opened for the last time on 30 November 2009 before its closure. That night, the restaurant hosted a banquet to say goodbye to old and new friends. Buoyed up by all the singing and dancing, guests drank toast after toast to each other. Though still with laughs and smiles on their faces, the guests were unwilling to bid farewell to the restaurant. Regular patrons took pictures to remember the place. The four senior disciples of Wing Chun master Ip Man (Chan Luen Lam, Yeung Wing, Lee Wai Chi, Sam Lau) also came to memorize the moments when their late master joked about fighting back enemies with lotus seed paste buns.
Ip Man, a kung fu master of the Wing Chun, was also a regular diner in Lung Moon. On the last night of the restaurant, his first generation disciples had a gathering in the restaurant to memorize traces of life with the master. One of the disciples, Sam Lau, recalled joyfully the times when the master would order lotus seed paste buns once he got there. He remembered the kung fu master's saying that as the dim sums served by Lung Moon were fresh from the kitchen; people could defend themselves by not just using chopsticks, but also by throwing the hot and freshlotus seed paste bunsto pull away enemies.
Lung Moon Restaurant opened in 1949, formerly known as "Dragon and Phoenix Restaurants". It operated 60 years.Today, it formally finished its business and exited from Wan Chai Johnston Road. In appreciation for the supports of regular customers these years, a two-day feast was held bythe restaurant.Last night was the final banquet, 40 banquets were full with guests.Some other fans even crowded outside the gate. There were also special arrangements for regular customers last night.Wan Kong, Lui Shan and other old singers performed for entertainments. Several famous actors from Chinese Artist Association of Hong Kong also had an impromptu. Lung Moon Restaurantwas bustling with noise, excitement and sentiment.

Invited by the Shandong Provincial Wushu Institute, master Sam Lau will go to the Tai An city with 8 coaches, to teach Wing Chun to the wushu instructors in Shandong. We will move on at 10th July, hope that we can make Yip Man Wing Chun to be more famous.
On April 24, 2009, master Sam Lau, chairman of Yip Man Martial Arts Athletic Association, held a solemn ceremony formally acknowledging two Italians Furio and Silvio as well as two Chinese Wong Man Hong and Eugene Cheung as his disciples with over 10 first-generation disciples of Yip Man as witnesses. There were eight tables of guests and reporters from various TV stations and media that evening, making the ceremony an unprecedented one in the Wing Chun history.
Furio and Silvio have studied Wing Chun Kung Fu from several instructors for about 20 years in Italy and taught Wing Chun for 18 years, instructing people publicly in the 14 Wing Chun schools set up by them. They paid three special trips to HongKong and visited many Wing Chun masters in seek of authentic Wing Chun. By a lucky coincidence, they met master Sam Lau and had their deep-rooted mistaken forms and movements in the past years corrected under the instruction of Sam Lau, understanding authentic Wing Chun of Yipman accordingly.
