this father, Buck Sam Kong. Buck was inducted in the Black Belt Hall of
Fame in 1974, and is the founder of the Siu Lum Pai Kung Fu Association.
Andrew started
training with father at the age of 5. By the age of 14, Andrew
started teaching classes for his father, and by age 18 he was running
his own school in Orange County, California. Andrew trained many of the United States
Marines from the nearby El Torro base.
Between the ages
of 19 and 23, Andrew Competed in many tournaments throughout the
nation. "Kung Fu has taught me patience. Through my
fathers instruction and guidance, I have learned the importance of
pride, honor and respect." "The art of Kong Fu has taught me ways of
creating focus in my life." Andrew's goal is to continue his father's
legacy and bring the culture and traditional ways of Kung Fu to
Rockford, Illinois.
