Many of the talks had gone not unnoticed. Mostly based on the bad
jungle book stories that came directly from Steve Gartin or students and
of the family of Bill Chang that his kun tao was before my kun tao
system ever was being established. These stories only good for our
Western Hemisphere may be taken for their acceptance in true value, and
never for me to agree upon.
It was I who had introduced kun tao silat to our American frontier
was never Steve Gartin, Chas Clements, Bill Chang or others. Some of
those ex students who left me, and wend over to Bill Chang -- a man I
once had sponsored and who egotistically made many of his false claims
that I had to take him with a grant of salt --until others had taken
over the most on thankful job there is for being a sponsor. I was the
first sponsor for the man from Bandung, who later on in time met his
unfortunate passing through his own fate he had created and in Bandung.
That was most unfortunate, and had nothing to do with me. For years I
kept in silence and thought was not worth to find a base for my
disagreement, and the stories after wards by Steve Gartin an unfinished
student under me that I could mostly rank him a low brown belt, and
other of the Bill Cahng students made the bigger claim that my kun tao
was of the later source came also through the b******* stories the man
from Bandung always was claiming and telling. Consider those stories
being told as the ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHT STORIES OF THE THIEF OF THE
THIEF OF BAGDAD. The stories to claim fell like butter in a frying pan
by those suckered in and believing.
Bill chang was trying to fight me, and had challenged me his
sponsor on many occasions, I declined and refuse to be an ordinary man
for a man who I was sponsoring that the idiot from Bandung and all his
claims kept forgetting my task to fulfill my duty as his sponsor. He
sure was an idiot, and very ungrateful always acting like a spoiled
breath and kept forgetting that this is America. Some of my cowboy
friends came close of beating the crab out of Bill Chang without any
martial skills. I had a friend and well known a t'ai chi and pakua
expert also knowledgeable in the Japanese and Chinese language was
pushing Chang around like a rack dog unable to defend himself not
knowing how to handle a real expert. I prevented my friends to beat the
crab out of Chang. His son hitting the balls from one of Russel's black
belt was a shame, a teenager with sneaky tricks and a far above
experienced martial fighter for allowing this to happen. In reality any
of Perron's fighters could make mins meat out of Chang and his students.
Steve Gartin had Randell Goodwin sparring one of Russle's black belt
for not able to counter the ferocity of tae kwon do kicks, and in front of me and Victor. I knew it then the personality of Gartin, and for me to watch out for him.
Bill Chang got finally had his wish to have really gotten me pissed
off and I also did a little of my own provoking, I provoked his
arrogance and accepted his challenge. We fought in my farm house, and in
the basement and was hardly a fight. Bill Chang with is attacking me
was rushing in to quickly, and I knew to toy with him like finding my
play ground species. He was fast but had no reasonable defense when
gotten immediately countered. His punches but mostly open palm blows on
me had no effect or even side effect. He told me through his big bad
jungle book stories that he once had slapped a student on his chest to
make him threw out blood. I was not hurt at all was just like getting
an body iron skin treatment from a karate orientated master neither in
old hand kun tao or old school karate but highly Shotokan orientated.
Bill Chang ended up with with uncured headaches trying to fight me.
Now to impact my objective for writing my this morning's editorial
that my lineage in kun tao, the Makao - Palembang kun tao had a far
greater and deeper background as the kuntao - karate that was introduced
by Bill Chang on our American frontier. My Tibetan origin of old hand
kung fu was a resource that came though the Shan Dong reservoir valley
while Chang's was Hokien - karate orientated from after the Second WW.
During the Japanese occupation 1942 -1945 that much of the changes came
to occur in the old hand kun tao structure of Southern, Central and
Northern kun tao in the East Indian archipelago. My three teachers were
for certain far above the teachers of Chang in his lineage structure.
And later on my teachers here in America, and also my Palembang kun tao
and old style Ci Mande teachers here in America had a far greater
history. Chang may had known the history but was not an old traditional
kun tao teacher only thought he was. He does mostly the iron skin
training of Japanese karate do would otherwise had known the old basic
kun tao structure, and also in the formatted kun tao basics. He does non
of that only could explain his kun tao - karate do through bull s***
stories and with technique after technique in being slap happy a spoiled
breath with no understanding of others. He wants to dictate most of the
time and is very closed minded an individual.
To me was always an arrogance on display for the true kun tao
practice. His iron skin came mostly from the practice of Ci Mande silat.
I never feared anyone and also can show with eased the difference in
kun tao. In finalizing I don't practice Japanese basic structure systems
but kept to the originality of the old school tradition in old hand kun
tao. The Japanese Bushido
in practice by the old masters in Japan were the real deal and hard for
outsiders to really learn their structure. Most did by imitation only
and some became great examples in the West and in South East Asia.
I am glad always to teach my true followers the old kun tao arts I
knew it then and know it now even better. While Steve Gartin is still
trying to make money of me, and never try to promote Bill Chang for his
lack in lesser training. He is another version of a Walter van der Broeke.
