An action-film actor and one-time friend of Bruce Lee, Wong runs martial-arts schools in 28 countries attended by 30,000 students. He also trains FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration agents in the United States, and is the chief martial-arts instructor for the Hungarian military police.

Where are you most likely to be at 10am on a Sunday? Every Sunday morning I go to the Baptist Church in Cameron Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, with my wife. I became a Christian when I was young.

Where are you most likely to be at 10pm on a Friday? I normally stay home and read science fiction. If I'm not reading, I will be going through my daily, two-hour martial-arts training routine.

Where do you live? I live in Tsuen Wan, but I stay in Hong Kong for only six months a year - I spend a lot of time travelling around the world inspecting my International Shaolin Chung Hop Kuen World Federation martial-arts schools. I also spend some time on the mainland doing business.

Where do you go to escape in Hong Kong? I love going to Cheung Chau for seafood - it's a lovely island and you have to go by ferry. Lantau was good as well, but now you can get there by car it has lost its island appeal.

Where do you go for dim sum? The Very Good Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. I used to go there a lot with my film-maker friends, and I still go there now.
