biography (con't)
Rick Spain was born in New Zealand in 1962. He trained and lived in Victoria inside William Cheung's school. In 1982, Rick competed in the World Invitation Full Contact Kung Fu Championships in Hong Kong. Rick won, and the tourney is unlikely to be held again, as so many people were seriously injured.
