Yu Suzuki & VF in a Chinese TV program in English

[Kiyuu]

Does anyone remember Master Wu Lianzhi of Bajiquan? His name in Japanese, Go Renshi,
is found among the Credits for Shenmue as "Hakkyoku-ken (Bajiquan) Motions Supervisor."
I've found this video of a TV documentary in his official website.

Here's the links to the same videos on YouTube, if you prefer a bigger (not clearer) screen:

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_vMgAX4vNw
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA85hYDJSx8
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFMxZJjHGQk
Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL2pweiXqhU


Some of you might remember that part of the interview with Yu Suzuki was included in
the Chinese video that was introduced before in this topic of mine:

EDIT: I realized Part 4 includes a scene where Yu Suzuki met Master Wu 13 years later
when Yu-san visited Shanghai to unveil Shenmue Online. (at 5:15 in the video)

Really nice find! Wu Lianzhi seems like quite the character and hearing the story about him and Suzuki getting drunk then accidently injuring Yu is pretty funny (I'm sure I had read about that before somewhere).

Seeing them reunite at the Shenmue Online premier was pretty nice too, but wouldn't Yu-san have met him before then if he was supervising motion capture in Shenmue? Unless it was done off site?

I assume he is a kind of honorary supervisor. Actual work was done by Tetsuya Hattori,
the only pupil of Master Wu in Japan. Here's the report on that work in his site:
