Of course, as we all know kungfu and martial arts would not be the same without the Shaw brothers studio!
Interestingly, Sir Shaw took up qigong in his 60s and was a keen promoter of the Art;
"He has years of experience in qigong, and he also tells his workers to exercise more frequently and to strengthen themselves," said TVB executive Virginia Lok Yi-ling.
"Mona Fong has even hired a qigong master to teach us. In recent years, when I travel with Sir Run Run, he would teach me ways to relax my legs and relax the muscle."
"Sir Run Run Shaw was very kind and very fond of me. He once taught me qigong to stay healthy. He was very keen on charity."
