I regret to inform you that fine establishment closed and was demolished to build a Police Station in 1995.
Just thought you should know.

Wing Chung, back in the old days when I was doing martial arts near full time and competing all over the west coast, we had two guys from China that did martial arts. These young guys were trained very old school in a style that was at least very similar if not Wing Chung (name prompted the memory). Here's my point, they wieghed about 90 lbs each soaking wet. I swear I could could put one of them in a phone booth, step in with them and close the door and still wouldn't be able to hit 'em. Damndest thing I ever did, trying to nail those guys was like punching smoke. Had to buy 'em beers for that.

IIRC, you declined adult entertainment during your visit.
Changed your mind?
Just let me know how much trouble you want to get into next time.
I can take you to bars with painted over windows and metal detectors at the door, probably get into a fight within 15 minutes without trying.

You need to come see a fat old man sometime.

Sir:
I told you I was cleared for the Op, and you told me that you did not posess the requisite clearances from your CINC-HOUSE.
SF Rule #3. What goes TDY, STAYS TDY!
That would have been a covert Black Op, at least as long as you kept me on your blade list.

He's still there? Amazing. I knew him when I trained with Mr. Kim. Brian used to come over and eat noodle soup with us in the wee hours after we worked out. Good dude. Try him out Solid.

I never worked out with him. I just said he was a good dude, as in person. You take instruction at your own risk.
