Master Sheung Wong

Acrylic painting of Sheung Wong, founder of the Kung-Fu club, at the altar table in the club. The Sheung Wong Kung Fu Club was established in 1974 by Sheung Wong. The Hung Fut club is non ranking or grading. “Hung fut” = left handed, so training involves learning martial arts moves that begin with the left hand. This is thought to give an advantage against more common right handed moves. Date unknown.
