Tall Man Three Tests Woo Ching

Tall Man Three, as they called him, was a commander during the Communict revolution in China. He was famous for being a fearless leader, successfully the troops into Guangdong. This gained him respect among the soldiers following him. He was also famous for having an uncontrollable temper and not caring much for rank, manners, or rules, which meant that after the Communist Party took over, he was never promoted further and many of the soldiers once under him eventually held influential posts, while he simply grew old and lived in the village. He would get into fights and arguments often and was brought before the authorities oftenn screaming at them and refusing to listen.
Luckily those promoted soldiers, now in influential positions, still respected him and he got away with warnings most of the time.


He studied some Kung Fu as well, for fighting only, and knew something of the White cRane system as it was taught in Mee Nam Village. Their white crane is different than ours, in that it is harder, and when they throw a stamping punch they only thinking of knocking the person out or breaking their head, If they are unable to break that person's head or knock them out then they will break their own hand trying. This is how they practice and this is how they fight.

Our Sifu grew in fame and became respected as one of the best around, if not in fact the best. But Tall Man Three wanted to know just how good this Master was, as a lot of people who were master's were just okay and not even as good a fighter as himself.

He had the oppurtunity to meet Our Sifu, Woo Ching, and spoke to him continuing to ask him questions about Kung Fu finally saying, "When I throw Chuen pow cup, I throw so fast and hard that nobody can get near me."

Woo Sifu, hearing this, calmly responded, "You can throw cup punches all you want. I will push them aside with touching hands and then hit your solar plexus with the golden bright finger." (a fist with the middle finger bent and protruding out as is done with a noogie on the playground. Sometimes referred to as a Phoenix Eye's fist.)
"If you don't believe me," said our Sifu," Then Come and try it."

Tall Man Three said "Ready!" and then started with a meteor shower of downward striking punches aimed to bust open Woo Ching's face. These continuous punches like a windmill of Gorilla arms Swining down are what we call cups.
Just as he said he would, our Sifu brushed them all aside timing Tall Man Three, then changing that brushing hand into a powerful pulling force suddenly pulling the Taller Tall Man three off balance and at the same time striking out with the Golden Finger hitting him, though holding back, in the ribs.

Tall Man Three was forced back by the hit. Touching his rib he said, "You hit me in the rib, not the solar plexus."

Woo Ching smiled. This was indeed true as he had pulled too hard with the initial brushing hand that pulled the targets chest around causing Our Sifu to hit him in the ribs instead.
"Okay." said Woo Ching, try it again.
Tall Man Three paused for a second watching carefully more determined to land a blow on this man and knock him out with his cups. How did he manage to brush them aside as if they were nothing was his inner thought.
He screamed out and charged at Woo Ching stronger than before. Woo Ching again stepping back deflecting the attacks by seemingly brushing the might blows aside.
This time he pulled with the brushing hand more slightly so as not to move the target but let some of the power in the golden finger strike go right into Tall Man Three's Solar plexus, not holding it all back like the first time.

"Ughhhnnghh got it! you got it! right There!" Groaned Tall Man Three in satisfactionas he collapsed to the ground. The man was indeed fearless.
He later gave Woo Ching the thunmbs up saying he was indeed a real Master and that he deserved the reputation he had.
