Dear Shaolin Wahnam Family and visitors,
Sigung has kindly shared us many of his personal experiences with Sitaigung Ho and Sitaigung Lai, and then some with Sitaigung Choe. In contrast to them, Sigung has told us that his second Sifu, Sitaigung Chee, was not teaching him in person, so regrettably there simply wasn't comparable interaction.
I had thought that there was more to Sitaigung Chee's biography and Kungfu that has been previously disclosed in any Kwoon discussion (see: An article on Sitaigung GM Chee Kim Tong) or Sigung's articles, so I finally tasked myself with seeking out what his close students (and their respective students) are sharing about their late Sifu and and his legacy.
Some of the information here might be very interesting and surprising to even tenured Kungfu experts, so please carry on reading!
I also heartily recommend reading Sifu Alan M Tinnion's martial arts biography, as he details what is was like to become an Inner Chamber Disciple to Sitaigung. I found his account to be very moving and fascinating.
With sincere respect,
Olli
