Review of Wong Ku Fat's Hakka Unicorn System

Описание: Wong Ku Fat was a legendary "street fighter" and kung fu instructor of the early 20th century. His system consisted of a "handful" of methods. These "few" methods were combined into various combinations designed for practical street usage. Wong, being a merchant marine by trade, traveled the world and tested his skill in the various bars and back alleys of Europe and Asia.

According to one of his first-generation students (from the 1950s), Wong Ku Fat kept a notebook recording his 500+ street fights. He kept notes of each encounter throughout his years of fighting. Apparently, after each fight, he distilled his method until he reached a point of having at his arsenal about a handful of combinations.

Gary Gee studied Wong Ku Fat's Unicorn method from Grandmaster Ralph Shun. Shun was a first-generation student of Wong Ku Fat in the 1950s. At that time, Chinese Kung Fu masters in Honolulu's Chinatown ran "private clubs". Non-Chinese were barred admission. The vetting process included bringing your family tree and confirming the “pure” Chinese line.

Gee studied with Grandmaster Wong Ark Yuey (Ng Ga Kuen) from 1968 to 1973.

From 1975 to 2002, Gary Gee studied with Grandmaster Ralph Shun. From GM Shun, Sifu Gee learned: Wong Ku Fat's Hakka Unicorn System; Lum Dai Yong lineage Sil Lum Fut Ga; Ng Ga Kuen Applications and Yang Tai Chi Chuan.

Sifu Gary Gee teaches in Southern California.
