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. |
