Wu vs. Chan, 1954
Description
Exhibition match in Macau in early 1954 between Wu Gongyi, head of the
Wu-style taijiquan association in Hong Kong, and Chen Kefu of Tibetan White
Crane, after Wu's open challenge of August 1953. Held for charity after the
Shek Kip Mei fire, it ended without a clear result and set off a boom in martial
arts schools and wuxia fiction.
