A very old group photograph showing Grand Master C. K. Chang (standing left) and Senior Master Eddie Cheah (squatting right); they have been good friends since childhood.
   The picture was taken when they were 16 years old at the Grand Master's house before their daily training. The sparring gloves in the foreground were stuffed with horsehair rather than the present-day flock or foam.

    To a world-famous artist, the extreme power and absolute elegance of Grand Master C. K. Chang's movements are outside the gamut of his artistic strokes. So he has to resort to using a series of special symbols to paint these movements. His works were exhibited in London's Institute of Contemporary Art in the Mall, and given a full-page report in the Sunday Times (left).
