“The great hung gar master chiu kau“
Chung ying daily news Sunday Oct. 7, 1956
Translated by: Grandmaster Chiu chi ling
With: Robert Lopez III
The Reporter has interviewed and is reporting on the student of Lam sai wing , The great Hung gar master Chiu kau and the “Chiu kau father and son dit da bone-setting clinic”. Chiu Kau has inherited the authentic shaolin bone-setting and this has distinct advantages such as the magic hand treatment and has been very successful, healing many patients.
In China, the gung fu or “gok sut” is very ancient, dating back over a few thousand years. Throughout the ages many, many hero warriors have descended from the different styles such as Sil lum, Wutang, Ermei, etc. These are just a few examples of the multitude of styles that have come from the original.
In Canton, the kung fu we recognize first is from the sil lum temple in Fukien. During the time of the Ching dynasty, the sil lum boxing from Canton is very skillful and popular, being very bright. Also shining very brightly is “Chiu Kau and sons dit da bone-setting clinic” located at 919 Canton Rd. Kowloon, Hong Kong, Where he practices the original technique passed down from the Sil lum temple.
The reporter describes Chiu kau as being very polite, having good manners and excellent character. His words are from the heart, always speaking the truth.
In the present day martial arts circle, Chiu kau is among the very best martial artists.
Chiu kau sifu was born and raised in “sun wui” Canton. He is not from a wealthy family, Quite the contrary, actually coming from a humble family that was very poor.
When Chiu kau was 12 years old he left his village throughout singapore, malaysia and indonesia. It was there that he worked very hard for some time.
But, being so young he felt he was too weak for such hard labor and decided he must find another better job.
It was at this time that he met a famous gung fu boxer named Ling jai yuk, which means beautiful or handsome faced. His real name was Wong yuk.
The uncle of Wong yuk was an accomplished martial arts master named Wong sai wing, who had learned his skills from Wong fei hung. Chiu kau traveled with Wong sai wing selling chinese medicine. During this time period was when Chiu kau began learning the art of Dit da and bone-setting as well as being introduced to Hung gar gung fu training..
He faithfully followed his teacher for many years developing a solid foundation in Hung Gar gung fu.
Eventually Chiu kau left Singapore to go back home to China to be wed to his future wife Siu ying. It was at this time that realized he was in a lucky position and decided to take the opportunity to seek out and learn from the renowned Master Lam sai wing, who was a top disciple of Wong fei hung. Chiu kau received instruction in the original Sil lum Hung gar boxing and the famous “Iron wire fist”. Chiu kau became one of Lam sai wings top disciples. Lam sai wing noticed that Chiu kaus prior training had given him the talent and foundation to learn and master the Tiger and crane and Iron wire forms properly.
Chiu Kau Learned very much and trained very hard under lam sai wing surpassing even the previous generation.
Lam sai wing told Chiu kau he should now pass on the tradition and preserve the chinese art and rules of conduct by opening his own dit da and bone-setting clinic. Chiu kau did so and established his own school for teaching Hung gar and helping and treating the poor, as was his duty, spreading his knowledge of Sil lum Hung gar far and wide.
From that time until now, Chiu kau has done many great things, earning a good name in the martial arts society and within the medicinal community. He is very well known and respected by the public, rich and poor alike. He has taught many students and also many of his students in turn taught many people that have opened schools of their own.
“Before learning Kung fu, you must learn dit da”
The reporters observation is that in Hong Kong the bone-setters heritage includes somewhere between four and five hundred. Chiu kau specializes in Hung gar kung fu but his Dit da and bone-setting knowledge is very deep and experienced. In this field perhaps only three out of ten are as skilled as Chiu kau.
The reporter feels he must say that Chiu kau is a kindhearted, helpful and charitable man, being very well mannered and also being a good example of a “Yiu ga” gentleman, being straight forward and honest. He has told his entire life story from the beginning, as a young boy, until now, holding nothing back. Chiu kau has a very open personality and his talents are much appreciated, helping as an employed volunteer doctor healing the community football teams, government workers, public bus company, construction workers etc. and has received very good feedback from the society.
Chiu kau is now sixty- two years old, waking up at five o’clock a.m. exercising his skillful knowledge of “dit sin kuen” iron wire training. He himself feels that he will never give up his training and continues to practice and learn, exercising daily with bodybuilding at the school and healing the poor people for free. It should also be noted that the society and community respect Chiu kau very much.
(It should be noted that in editing this material that I have paraphrased the english slightly while holding to the original translation by Grandmaster chiu chi ling. It should also be mentioned the material is copyright to Chiu chi ling.)
