FYI for those who are familiar with the Lam family lineage, Grandmaster Tang Kwok Wah is seriously ill. The prognosis is very bleak. This is very sad as he is one of the very best of Lam Jo's students.

I am very sorry to say that on Tuesday Nov 22nd just before 7:30 pm, Grandmaster Tang Kwok Wah has passed away in Boston. When I had visited him on Monday, his breathing was labored and he was very weak. Doctors had said he did not have long to live. He will be missed.

His skills are the things you hear about as stories from legendary masters... he was one of them, although he was very quiet about his skill and never liked to talk about it in public. He never had the publicity of other more famous martial artists nor did he seek it, but he definitely had all the skills that were inherited from Great Grandmaster Lam Jo.

Pls pass on this sad news to those who knew him and cared about him.

Very sorry to hear that.
Our thoughts go out to his family and his students.

My heart is filled with deep sadness as I have come to learn of my Sigung, Tang Kwak Wah's passing. He was the last student to carry on Lam Sai Wing's legacy. A most respected family head, teacher, protector and leader all around the world.
My most sincere condolences go out to Sifu (Sik Y. Hum), to Sigung's family and to my Sibaaks. Tang Kwak Wah's qi is more powerful than ever and continues to illuminate us, as we are dedicated to show him our worthiness of his guidance and protection with every move, every stance, every breath, every punch and every strike we engage every single day, continuously working hard.
I bow to Sifu (Sik Y. Hum) for having given me the opportunity to have become part of this loyal and trusting family with bonds that extend beyond the physical scope of the terrestial.
Long live Tang Kwak Wah and his legacy of Hung Ga Kung Fu.
