Mid 1950s
Note the cat on his lap.
From the submitter: “I hooked a coat hanger over his collar to form shoulders, and newspaper stuffed into his trousers.”
Sifu Alex launches Joseph off during the Animal Day ground fighting bout.
poor Joseph had to do ground fighting with Sifu cuz I had to bow out with my rib injury. I’d laugh but it hurts to do so.
Bonus GPOYW - Action shot of what that long pole transporting got me: A STRIKE TO THE FACE
no Wing Tsun students were actually harmed in the creation of this photo. ACTING.
Sifu Alex demonstrating long pole.
Action shot from City Wing Tsun’s demo practice! That’s our Sifu Alex and Sihing Craig demonstrating Wing Tsun Long Pole against other weapons.
Love this shot not just for the image of Sifu taking out my legs with the long pole so I have to eat it, but also for the Ellis Island exhibit in the background, as if they’re looking on.
This place is very special to me. The fèllensee is placed at the bottom of the hundstei (dog stone). I know this might sound silly, but since my dog and I grew up just around the corner and the naming of the mountain, I chose this very calm lake as a final resting place for Spock (my dog) so he would have the biggest gravestone of all dogs out there. That morning we had a farewell ceremony for Spock. I took this picture and we summited the hundstei to his honor (which was a very emotional challenge). This picture of his resting place is now hanging in our kitchen to remember him.
