詠春善戰者–葉問的私徒
伍志堅
武術 / 自傳
梁紹鴻,Duncan
Leung,詠春善戰者。由兒時好友、已故電影巨星李小龍介紹去學詠春功夫。1955年,年僅十三歲的他以「三跪九叩」之禮,拜詠春第六代葉問為師,成為葉問的「第一私家門徒」。
1955至59這四年間,葉問親自上門,悉心教導梁紹鴻,傾囊相授,跟他練習,還傳授「實踐」詠春的秘訣。梁紹鴻天天練武、練功六小時;要學以致用,他就上街打架、上武館「講手」,實踐所學。他對中國武術各門各派的打鬥經驗可謂獨一無二。
1964年,一次行俠仗義令梁紹鴻有緣遇上一位老人。那老人教他「空手入白刃」、「貼身搏擊」、「無聲殺敵」等技巧。
1974至76年,梁紹鴻在美國紐約設館授徒。中、外習武者上館挑戰可謂無日無之,他未嘗敗北,因此應付外國武藝的經驗也相當豐富,可謂世上絕無僅有。
1976至2002年間,梁紹鴻在美國弗吉利亞灘 (Virginia
Beach)定居,受聘於美國海軍海豹隊(U.S. Navy Seals)、美國聯邦調查局( FBI )及美國特警部隊 (SWAT)。
2002年8月,梁紹鴻接受可能是他有生以來最大的挑戰:要在兩年內,培養六名中國少年成為世界級職業「散打」拳手。於是,他到了中國去完成這能人所不能的使命。

"The
story of Duncan Leung — childhood friend
of Bruce Lee and disciple of Wing Chun master Yip Man —
is valuable not only for the insights it offers into Chinese martial arts
but also for its portrayal of the lost Hong Kong of the 1950s and 1960s.
Reading Ken Ing's Wing Chun Warrior, which chronicles Leung's Kung
Fu escapades, will be a jarring revelation to anyone familiar with the
manic but orderly and largely peaceful city of seven million people that
is Hong Kong today. The city described by Ing is a place where Kung Fu
practitioners wielded eight-chop knives in the streets and literally
battled their way from one martial arts studio to another to prove their
fighting prowess.
... As Ing tells the story, [Bruce] Lee may have been Yip Man's most
famous pupil, but Leung underwent more intensive training with the great
man — four years of daily private
lessons that started in 1955, when Leung was 13. During this time, Leung
virtually forgot about regular schooling and devoted himself to learning
Wing Chun from the master, training six hours a day, seven days a week.
How did a mere boy command the daily individual attention of the world's
greatest Wing Chun sifu? It was all thanks to his gullible mother, who
agreed to give her son HK$300 (US$39) a month for "private tuition" with
no questions asked. That was a lot of money in the 1950s, but Leung came
from a well-to-do family that tended to indulge him. So while regular
students paid Yip Man HK$8 a month, Leung gave his teacher nearly twice
the salary of high school graduates employed by the Hong Kong government
at the time. According to Leung, Yip was keen to take the money to support
his opium addiction.
... Soon the eager student began applying his lessons on the streets and
in the Kung Fu studios of Hong Kong, and this is where Ing's book is hard
to put down. At one point, a young Leung comes across two triads
(underworld figures) raining blows on a defenseless old man outside the
long-defunct London Theater in Kowloon. His Wing Chun principles and
reflexes immediately kick in, and the two toughs are quickly dispatched." —

Asia Times Online
Author
Ken Ing talked to RTHK Radio 3's Sarah Passmore about the stories
contained in Wing Chun Warrior and the state of Wing Chun kung
fu today. Listen in at the online
programme archive, date: 2009-03-02, from 19 minutes in.
"The
book is geared to those with prior knowledge of Wing Chun kung fu
and the style of the book is an acquired taste. But there are some gems in
the text that have the feeling of a 1950s Hong Kong film. For example,
when Leung is queueing up for an evening function and two triads jump the
queue, he decks them, much to the admiration of the crowd. But he has only
a moment to enjoy their adulation before he spots 20 men with broken
bottles heading for him. He then runs 2km, loses his entourage and comes
to rest at the Queen Victoria statue in Victoria Park, where he promptly
vomits.
There are also his references to his friend Bruce Lee, who to a certain
extent has become more legend than man —
that as well as fighting, they were Elvis Presley fans and enjoyed
dancing, at which they were apparently skilled. The book describes the two
teenagers going to weekly dance classes so they could swivel their hips
like the King." —
Annemarie Evans,
Sunday Morning Post
"Wonderfully informal and
instructive. There are many stories and personal revelations that should
be fascinating, intriguing and occasionally infuriating to students of
this style and those interested in the clouds surrounding the Hong Kong
days of Bruce Lee and others." — Ted Mancuso
"A great addition to your collection."
