I’ve met many wonderful people who were/are associated with the martial arts. In 1983, Wenji (Johnny/Bryan) Liu became a valuable liasan between the China martial art community (in New York and Fuzhou China) and my efforts to locate links between Uechi-ryu and Chinese fighting systems.
Because of Wenji’s efforts, my early SummerFests were able to host many visitors from China, including a number of very famous Gungfu celebrities who helped make those early camps so successful.
