Myself, Wing Wong, Al Leong
The 70's
Training in the Arts and Disciplines of Asia started in Los Angeles in 1970, first with Judo, Aikido, Sil Lum (Shaolin) Kung-fu and Tao-ga (Taoist Arts).
Later, I attended the martial arts tournaments and participated in many public exhibitions. My first visit to Mexico was a martial tournament in the city of Ensenada, Baja California presented by Sensei Ayala in 1973.
Had a chance to make $ 7000 usd, appearing as an extra in the 'Kung Fu' TV Series...but declined since I needed to be totally bald for 7 weeks...was too proud...not humble enough. My classmates furthered their careers in appearing in many movies calling for Asian actors.
