Ming's Lonely Encounter

sounds like something right out of a book, doesn't it? that's because it is! one of TRIQUEST's resident Kali coaches, Ming (more famously known as Jozev 喬靖夫 , the Hong Kong martial arts novelist) has been published in a different sort of way than what he is accustomed to. when Lonely Planet Publications put together their most recent version of the guidebook "Hong Kong Encounter", Ming was selected for his experience and knowledge to comment on the martial arts culture of Hong Kong and to recommend a few places of interest. where did he recommend? Sino Center in Mongkok! yes Ming, "XD".

From his Facebook:
其實是幾個月前的事情了，一直忘記了貼：

2011年版的Lonely Planet旅遊書《Hong Kong Encounter》，裡面訪問了一些港澳人物，我也忝陪末座。

短短的訪問裡，我解釋了中國武俠是甚麼；介紹金庸小說；推介香港多元的武術風景；還介紹了景點——當然就是我最喜歡的旺角信和中心了。XD

在講到「俠」在今日香港的意義時，我以港人堅持每年紀念六四，及當時聲援劉曉波的活動作例子。我認為這是港人值得自豪的價值。

非常感謝該書作者Piera的訪問，讓我有機會向外國朋友介紹香港的武俠與武術。
