Leung Ting
Birth : 1947-02-28,
History
Leung Ting is a WingTsun (style of kung fu) enthusiast who started learning the style at the young age of 13. By the age of 20, he was accepted by Great Grandmaster Yip Man (who was also the teacher of Bruce Lee) and became Yip's "Closed-door Student" (the chosen student after Yip's retirement). Leung Ting devoted his lifetime energy in promoting and teaching WingTsun kung fu.
His success in his coaching career as a WingTsun instructor has earned him unprecedented fame in the martial arts circles. As early as in the seventies, he was commonly known as the "Kungfu Instructor of Millions of Students", a title granted to him by the press in Hong Kong for having the largest number of followers. In the west, he was entitled by a number of media as the "WingTsun King" and "Genghis Khan of the Chinese Martial Arts Community".
Self
Filmmaker Ian Taylor examines the impressive legacy of Hong Kong cinema -- specifically, how martial arts crossed borders and become an international phenomenon -- with the help of footage and interviews with the stars who made the genre what it is today. Director Lau Ka Leung (who helmed The 36th Chamber of Shaolin) joins in, sharing his thoughts on how certain cinematic technologies have improved martial arts films and expanded their appeal.
A modern day story of an innocent boy (Ravi) of Royal lineage who is sent to Hong Kong by his Father's conniving manager, Kailash Choudhary (K.C.) to train in the Martial Arts--the boy's passion. K.C. eliminates the boy's father and usurps his properties. Ravi is set up by K.C. who plants drugs in his baggage. As a result, Ravi is arrested and spends the next 12 years of his life in a Hong Kong prison where he is thrown into a cell with a Wing Tsun Kung Fu Grandmaster (Sifu).
Himself
A spoof of the "investigative journalism" format of the HK TV show, "The Great Disclosure" (a program similar to "Hard Copy" and "Entertainment Weekly"). The program interweaves silly shenanigans with equally silly segments debunking common legends about Shaolin Temple, Hopping Corpses, the origins of Wing Chun, and the origins of Kung Fu in general. The film also hits on popular Qigong feats such as walking on fire, rolling in glass, breaking a spear with one's throat, and breaking bricks over one's head with a sledge hammer.
