Woo Ching- Chapter three "Rise"

Sifu gained great Gung Lik and fighting skills as well as experience fighting in his hometown. But his name did not reach such a high level until he was hiding out in Guangzhou.
Guangzhao at that time was very chaotic with fighting all the time and thus Kung Fu was of great interest to people.
One was not legally allowed to open up a school but he taught in the parks at night.
Here people would test you out or try and mess with your class.

Knocking down all challengers very easily and able to hit people arms once, but so hard that they would be unable to move them for a couple of weeks, he gained a reputation for his skill and power. Also, those who he healed back spread his reputation of high skills in chinese teet da, or sports medicine. He tried hands and was clearly more powerful than many of the powerful masters in Guangzhou.

Thus by who he defeated easily, people knew how good he was.

When he returned to his hometown and China opened up after Mao's death
many people would travel to Sifu's house, having heard his name, to learn Kung Fu.

He taught in his village for free and people began to see that his students were much better fighters.
Thus other villages wished for him to teach. He would end up sending one of his students most of the time and check up on progress.

Wherever he taught they would want to test you first. and so his reputation continued to grow.

Furthermore, having defeated them without question repeatedly, they surrendered to his higher skills and thus were not only learning from him, but would show any of the Kung Fu that they had passed down throughout the generations to him.

Often times, though they practiced this kung fu, they did not understand it, and so he would use the Highlevel Kung Fu he had learned to explain how he would use those techniques.

In this way he also encountered many treasured traditional forms which he brought into the white crane system using the philospohies he knew already.
