Simon Wong is not your stereotypical Martial artist. Where many
will tell you that martial arts is a way of life, he will tell you
that it is only a facet of life, despite his proven ability in various
styles. Rather an artist of life, Simon is a proficient musician
and painter, deeply spiritual and deep thinking. A "Master"
he makes light of the term, stressing that humility and wisdom are
at the core of genuine mastery of any art, not physical prowess
or numerous belts. A Buddhist Vajra Master, he believes in thought
before action and avoidance rather than cure when it comes to physical
confrontation, stressing that reality is often subjective and the
faults you see may be the demons within yourself. Simon's broad
knowledge encompasses his own fighting system, Yellow Dragon Fist
Kung Fu. For Feng Shui he has been widely sought after by many financial
institutions and media groups, and has a highly successful security
group, running courses for a variety of London Boroughs. With such
a range of talents one would be forgiven for envisaging a "traditional
white bearded old sage," but Simon Wong is young, vibrant and
witty, with a western cynicism to his humour that acts as a counterpoint
to his deeper beliefs. Complex yet bluntly open, Simon is a fascinating
mix of east and west all wrapped up in one enigmatic parcel.
