In keeping the Shaolin tradition alive he conducted a Shaolin Temple Disciple Ceremony on Saturday, May 9, making Anta a disciple of Shaolin and giving his school direct linage to the temple. Grand Master Chung talked about his experience in the martial arts and training at Anta Fitness and Self Defense, 10721 NW 58 St. Doral. This event was free and opened to the general public.
Chinese Community also honored Shaolin Master on Saturday, May 9, Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu Grand Master and direct disciple of the Southern Shaolin Temple in China William J. Chung (Zhong Chao Ding) of New York’s Chinatown was honored by the South Florida Chinese Community with a welcome party at the Canton Chinese Restaurant of Coral Gables, 2614, Ponce De Leon Blvd at 7 PM. Numerous dignitaries from the Chinese Community were present. A traditional Chinese Lion Dance was performed to begin the celebration.
Grand Master Chung is a pioneer in the martial arts. In the early 60’s he was teaching non Chinese the ancient Chinese treasure of Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu. This was way before it was accepted in the Chinese Community. Chung started Kung Fu at the tender age of 7 in 1943. Today at 75 he has 68 years of kung fu knowledge under his belt. He is also one of the few men that possess a true iron palm. He has been inducted into numerous Martial Arts Hall of Fame’s. He knew Bruce Lee well and was the head judge when Chuck Norris won the World Karate Championship in Madison Square Gardens in New York. He was also a guest of Johnny Carson in the Tonight Show in 1967 and was featured in numerous magazines in the seventies. Today Chung keeps a low profile and is a well respected community leader in New York’s Chinatown.
Julio Anta introduced me to his Grand Master and I have the opportunity to give him a Stretch Loop.
Anta says “It is truly an honor to be under Grand Master Chung’s tutelage. We might be the only kung fu school in South Florida with direct linage to the Southern Shaolin Temple.” Hung Gar stands for Hung family. The Anta family is truly a Hung family. Anta’s two sons are currently Black Belts in their system.
I thank Julio Anta again for the invitation and the opportunity to meet his Grand Master.
