Re: Master Chee Kim Thong
Every Ngo Cho Kun Grand Masters know quite a lot about Chinese medicines. Especially students of Chua Giok Beng. For example Sim Yong Tek which is the Master of Master Yap Cheng Hai before he went to Kuala Lumpur to learn under Master Chee.
I think Master Chee's Ngo Ki Lat was good and able to master the principles of the stance of Ngo Cho Kun. "To center the gravity and to stengthen Ngo Ki". The result of practicing Ngo Cho Kun for a long time especially low stances like Si Pieng Be and Chien Be.
That is how important stance is in NCK as a southern style.

I have heard those stories and many others about Master Chee's fighting prowess and also about his healing skills.
However, I don't like to repeat those stories outside of our school as I did not witness the events myself (even though I trust those who did witness them).
What I can say from my own experiences of meeting with and training under Master Chee that he truly embodied the Chinese saying: "In movement be as soft as cotton, on impact be as hard as steel."
When I last met him he was 80 years of age but as solid as a rock in his stance. Trying to get to grips with him was like trying to catch smoke, yet he was incredibly powerful. He was able to release tremendous force with just a tiny gesture. He was also a very kind and gentle man. It was a privilege to have known him.
