CROSS-ROADS AT FOUR GATES SET
Sifu Wong Chun Nga performing the "Four Gates" Set
The “Cross-Roads at Four Gates” was the fundamental kungfu set at the southern Shaolin Monastery before it was burnt down by the Qing Army. The Venerable Jiang Nan brought it out of the monastery and transmitted it through Grandmaster Yang Fatt Khuen and Grandmaster Ho Fatt Nam to Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit. The video series here shows the performance by Joroen, Nick and Sifu Wong Chun Nga.
