Pictures with the VIPs

During this event, we had 5 different clubs bring their own lions for the main stage event infront of the main entrance of Richmond Aberdeen Mall. The general public, City counsellors, VIPs (owners of the mall, etc gather here to start the celebration of the dragon year.

After the main stage event, the lions were split up to perform a short routine infront of each and every store that is in the mall to spread the joy, luck, wealth and prosperity.

This is one of the lion dance performance I saw and recorded at the 52nd anniversary of Ma Society and Kin Feng martial arts club. I enjoyed this performance since it shows how much effort and dedication the young kids put out. All of them should be under the age 12.

The Dragon Trident 九龍大叉

In Chan Heung's 陳享 generation, he created a weapon exclusive to Choy Lee Fut called the Nine-Dragon Trident 九龍大叉. This weapon was designed to shred any part of the opponent with which it might come into contact. With the many hooks and blades it has, the trident can also be used to seize an opponent's weapon by hooking and then twisting it.
