For them who are interested we would like to present to you the other member of KungFuFever´s staff :

...We would like to present to you : 'Barry' :

 

 

 

Barry :

Born : A very long time ago in the Netherlands, Europe.

He started loving wushu because of Jet Li movies, and decided to learn Kung Fu / Wushu himself as well...

He started training at the Bao Trieu Kung Fu school in Groningen, that at that time was still located in the ´Platform Theater´.

That´s also where he has met Ronald, who allready trained Kung Fu / Wushu there...

Barry learned some traditional Hung Gar Kung Fu forms (both armed and unarmed), and some more modern Chang Quan forms. 

He also trained with the stick (Gun), the broadsword (Dao), the spear (Qiang), and the nine-sectional-chainwhip (Jiujiebian).

His favourite picture is :

'The one where he kicked 'Ronald' in the face on the 'Grand Travers' beach in France... (Click on picture to enlarge)

In fact Barry and Ronald met when Ronald was filming ´The Chase´... 

Ronald started training at the Bao Trieu Kung Fu school before Barry. Later Barry also started training there, so they knew each other by face, but not really by name yet... During the filming of ´The Chase´ Ronald had to steal a bicycle to save his life in front of the camera, and kick somebody´s ass for that...  Just at that moment Barry cycled by on a bicycle himself...  Withnessing this agresion he was shocked...  until he saw a familiar face...  they laughed and met up for a drink..  finding out that they were almost neighbours.... and have been best friends ever since...  

Where at first Ronald was more the traditionalist, and lover of Shaolin Kung Fu documentaries and traditional kung fu films, Barry was more of a modern wushu artist, and ´Jet Li´-fan as for the movies...  Now they both love both...  and Ronald teaches Barry traditional Shaolin Kung Fu, and Barry teaches Ronald modern Wushu...

Look at some of the old pictures, taken in Groningen, where we enjoyed ourselfs, training with the nine-sectional-chainwhip (Jiujiebian) after a workshop with Li Yan Long (Known from the great movie ´South Shaolin Master´), and protecting ourselfs with a helmet, because we were that injured by the chain...
