I just came across this on the internet and it brought back some great memories. Grand Master Alan Lee introduced Kung Fu Wu Su to the US in 1968. I was a sixteen year old kid living in the South Bronx at the time and some how I discovered his school on 28th St in Manhattan and started studying there under the Master Alan Lee and instructor George Hudson.
Every Saturday together with my best friend at the school we would head to Chinatown after class to watch Chinese martial arts films in Chinese. This was a couple of decades before Crouching Tiger.
I spent two 1/2 years (1968-1970) studying martial arts until I was injured sparring with two instructors. The school is still in the same building on 28th Street in Manhattan.
I've carried the lessons I learned there with me for a lifetime. It was one of the defining experiences in my life.
