The Martial Arts Exhibition
2008 in Houston brought a wide variety of martial artists
together from April 4th through 6th. Among them, students
of Grandmaster Wei who had not seen each other for decades
came from all over the U.S. and Taiwan to pay their respects
to Grandmaster Wei, tell stories about the old days, and
share their kung fu with each other. On the first day of
the event, the internationally acclaimed Dr.
Su Yu-Chang gave an interesting and entertaining speech,
followed by various people in Grandmaster Wei's lineage
performing a variety of 8-Step forms for the public. The
following morning, Dr. Su Yu-Chang led a workshop on Bagua's
8 Character Palm. Here are some photos from the event.
