It was at this school that Gordon Liu learnt the famous ‘Hung Fist', which had been taught by Wong Kei Ying to his son, the legendary Wong Fei Hung. It was then passed onto Lam Sai Wing (portrayed by Sammo in Magnificent Butcher and Kent Cheng in Once Upon a Time in China ) and Lau Charn was one of Wing's disciples.

But if you could and you did, then you would know Gordon Liu as the star of The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and the rest, as they say, is pure semantics.

We begin our tale of a truant seven year-old Gordon, “I was naughty and quite a rebel when I was young,” practising kung fu at the legendary Lau Gar school under renowned Sifu Lau Charn (later to become his godfather), having moved from Guangdong to Hong Kong at a young age. One could say Gordon had landed on his cat-like feet, for his new Master took a liking to the young student and vigorously trained him in the Southern Shaolin martial arts (solid and compact fighting styles with lower and wider stances, a product of the marshy and congested regions of Southern China).
