PROCESS

A short documentary about Master Lo Wai-Keung’s control and mindset you need to have as a martial artist.

CONCEPT

I took a 2-week self defence course with Master Lo, a good friend of my dad’s as well as a Lama style martial art instructor for more than 40 years. Throughout this short course Master Lo taught me a lot about the ethics of martial arts, as he strongly believed, that one needs to prove themselves.

RESEARCH

Each one-to-one lesson with Master Lo was 3 hours long, but he would spend 2 hours on explaining the ethics of martial arts, and one hour teaching technical skills. This is because he believed, that having a good understanding of morality is the key to become an outstanding marital artist. Learning self-defence with Master Lo was not any kind of intense sandbag training you would imagine, instead it was like a meditation.
