[edit] Section taken out

I took the following section out since this is all part of a legend "Tiit Kiu Sam which literally means "Three Iron Bridges" was the foremost of the Ten Tigers of Canton. His real name was Leong Khuen. He was famed for his mighty arms hence his nickname. He trained using iron sets to strengthen his internal energy hence making his body hard as iron. Wong Yan-Lam was a master of Hap Kar Kung Fu (a kung fu style which originated from the mountains of Tibet but modified by Shaolin monks). His master was called Sheng Loong. Wong Kei-Ying was a disciple of the infamous grandmaster Luk Ah Choy. He was also the father of Wong Fei Hong. Wong Kei-Ying was well renowned for his Mou Ying Keok "Shadowless Kick" which was also later mastered by his son, Wong Fei Hong. Su Hak Fu or "Black Tiger" was a master of the Tiger Claw kung fu. So Haak Yee or "Beggar So" was originally a wealthy person but squandered his wealth away. He was a master at Hung Gar kung fu. His master was called Chan Fook who hailed from the Southern Shaolin Temple in Fujian. Chow Tai shot to fame when he defeated an international boxing champion from France. Tam Chai Hok was well known for his "Three Kicking Technique" namely tiger tail kick, sweeping floor kick and organ seeking kick, three difficult moves which imitates a tiger kicking. Wong Ching Ho was known for his powerful head. He practiced a kung fu also known as "Iron Head" kung fu or "Tiit Tau Kung Fu". He was a disciple of a Shaolin monk from Guangdong. Tiit Chi Chan or "Iron Finger" was a master at the Iron Finger Art. He could do a one finger stand with his index finger and could also use it as a weapon to poke through one's heart."

It does not help the article to mix real legends with movie materials. Benjwong (talk) 15:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
