BIOGRAPHY OF GREAT GRANDMASTER BAC PHONG TU VO HANH
 
 
 
 

THE BLINDFOLDED GRANDMASTER.  "HEARING SOUND TO MEASURE THE OPPONENT'S DISTANCE, I AM LISTENING TO MASTER PHAM KIM TUAN
MAKING SOUND OUT OF TWO METAL PIECES AND PREPARED TO DROP KICK THE FRUIT ON THE SHARP KNIFE." --BAC PHONG TU VO HANH
 
 
 
 

THE FRUIT IS KNOCKED OFF.  IF THE GRANDMASTER'S FOOT
IS TWO INCHES ABOVE THE FRUIT, HE WOULD MISS THE TARGET; TWO INCHES LOWER, THE FOOT WOULD BE INJURED.
 
 
 
 
 

TO PRACTICE THIS DIAMOND KUNGFU, ONE MUST KNOW
               HOW TO COMBINE HARD AND SOFT POWER.  IT IS NOT A FAKE
               DEMONSTRATION SINCE WE VIDEOTAPED IT MANY TIMES AND
            SHOWED BACK IN SLOW MOTION.  MASTER PHAM KIM TUAN USED
                 A STEEL SWORD TO CHOP STRAIGHT DEEP DOWN TO THE
                     STOMACH OF GRANDMASTER TU VO HANH.
                    THE PHONY COULD HAPPEN ONLY IF THE SWORDMAN DID
                 NOT PUT THE SWORD ALL THE WAY DOWN TOUCHING THE
                  STOMACH AND THEN QUICKLY PUULING THE SWORD UP.
 
 
 
 
 

THE GRANDMASTER IS CONCENTRATING - USING HARD AND
SOFT POWER
