To
Whom It May Concern:
I, William R. Lee, the son of the late Sifu Lee Wah Yook, am acknowledging
that Mark Joseph Bram was chosen by my father to be his first
and only student to carry on his unique style.
Mark diligently
studied under my father for eleven years. He also taught Mark
a certain secret technique, that was only to be taught to his
son or the few chosen to carry on his art. These techniques were
instructed not to be shown to the general public.
When Mark
was first being considered as a student, his tenacity was tested
by exercises thought too difficult to stand. But to my father's
surprise, he passed the tests. My father was pleased at how fast
Mark learned and how hard he tried. My father was also concerned
about the safety of Mark and anyone who he would train with. He
was not aware of how much power he possessed or how to use it.
After many years of training, Mark has learned how to use and
control the power properly; not only for self defense, but the
power to heal as well, which he is still continuously studying.
The core of
the system is based on Yeung (Yang) Style Tai Chi Chaun. My father
started teaching Mark Sil Lum (Shaolin) and Fu Hok Tai Hei Morn
until Mark developed Hypoglycemia, at that point my father then
turned his attention to teaching him Tai Chi. As Mark became proficient,
my father started adding various techniques and training exercises
from the various styles that my father had learned, to form a
cohesive fighting style based on Mark's strengths.
Lee Wah Yook
was president of the Eastern United States Kung Fu Federation,
the New England Branch. The various styles that he was proficient
in were:
· Sil Lum
which he learned in China; teacher unknown.
· Yang Style
Tai Chi; learned from Sifu Chu Gin Soon [disciple of Grandmaster
Yeung (Yang) Sau Chung who was the eldest son of Yeung Ching
Po (Yang Cheng Fu)] and Yeung Sau Chung.
· Fu Hok
Tai Hei Morn, taught to him by Grandmaster Kwong Tit Fu, which
is a system whose roots are derived from Hung Gar Tiger Crane,
Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Kung and Mo Dong Yat He Morn. Kwong Tit Fu's
teachers included:
- Master
Kwong Chong-Sau / Hung Gar Kumg Kong He Gung
- Master Lum Cho / Hung Gare Tiger Crane
- Master Lum Kum-Tong / the Seven Circulatory Chi Gung
- Master Ng Kum-Lau / Mo Dong Yat He Morn
- Master Ng Wai Nung / Eagle claws / Tai Chi Chuan
My father
traveled back to Hong Kong with Master Kwong to study with one
of his teachers. I seem to remember that it was Master Ng Kum
Lau, but I can't be quite sure. What I do remember are photographs
from the trips of the Master and mentioning the style Mo Dong.
Sincerely
yours,
WILLIAM
R. LEE
