Phase 1 of Master Douglas Wong's teaching career started in 1968, when he used his parent's garage for the headquarters of the "Chinese Physical Health Club." It was during this time that he formed his teaching methods as well as the nucleus of the Sil Lum Demonstration Team, which was officially created in May, 1973.
The school entered Phase 2 later that year, when it opened its doors to the general public. Led by co-captains James Lew and Albert Leong from May to December 1973, the school's team accumulated an astonishing 300 trophies in forms, weapons, and fighting competitions.
