End of an era

As a way to reach out to students internationally for over 30 years, Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong wrote a bimonthly column in Inside Kung Fu Magazine and articles as well. Much knowledge and wisdom was passed along in the columns and articles were educational and informative, but those days are soon to be over.

As of April 2011 Inside Kung Fu Magazine will discontinue publishing it's magazine for all things Kung Fu. Many masters will no longer have the chance to speakout and promote their styles, concepts, and wisdom. It is a sad day in the world of traditional Chinese martial arts, but at least we can look at past issues and articles. Thanks to the efforts of Ms. Edwards of San Diego's White Dragon School Clairemont, Grandmaster's past wisdom has been compiled into 3 volumes titled "Training for Life" and can be purchased on the Plum Blossom International Federation's Website www.plumblossom.net

Though we will no longer be able to look to IKF for Grandmaster's wisdom, he will find a way to reach out to us, in one way or another. We will miss you Inside Kung Fu, and all the work you have done, promoting masters and styles to the world will not go waste. Thank you for your many years of support and inspiration, and we can only hope that this will be temporary and one day we will see you on the magazine rack yet again.
