The Peter Kwok System
Grand Master Peter Kwok (Kwok Wo ngai) studied from many, many Masters
one of which was his father. His father sent him to the best teachers
and practitioners of his generation throughout all of China. While in
his late teen years Grand Master Kwok went to Taiwan to study with the
famous Guang Ping Yang Tai Ji Master Guo Lien Ying.
Grand Master Kwok knew many more forms than what he taught. He only
taught what he considered the best of all his experiences. The seventy
two individual forms comprising one external and three internal styles
are his presentation of the best that he was exposed to and have hence
forth been termed the "Kwok System."
After learning all the forms, routines and drills, including the two
man sparring and fighting drills, I asked Grand Master Kwok to show me
some more forms that I might expand my repertoire. He agreed and showed
me some forms that he didn’t teach. I immediately knew why. My
disappointment was expressed when I asked, "is that it?" "Why bother
to do that when we have these other forms that require much greater
skill level?" To which he replied, "that's why I don’t teach them. I have
spoiled you with what I have taught you. Go out into the world and find
better, go to China, you’ll be back." So I did. I went to China and
Europe and Canada, and I came back.
Here presented is the "Kwok System" in completion, a compellation of
many Masters' teachings in four systems of Chinese Kung fu. No other
"Kwok student" can make this presentation.
