Dr. Leung Ting
Liang Ting
Born:
February 28, 1947
Leung Ting is a WingTsun (style of kung fu) enthusiast who started learning the style at the young age of 13. By the age of 20, he was accepted by Great Grandmaster Yip Man (who was also the teacher of Bruce Lee) and became Yip's "Closed-door Student" (the chosen student after Yip's retirement). Leung Ting devoted his lifetime energy in promoting and teaching WingTsun kung fu. His success in his coaching career as a WingTsun instructor has earned him unprecedented fame in the martial arts circles. As early as in the seventies, he was commonly known as the "Kungfu Instructor of Millions of Students", a title granted to him by the press in Hong Kong for having the largest number of followers. In the west, he was entitled by a number of media as the "WingTsun King" and "Genghis Khan of the Chinese Martial Arts Community".

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
