Lo Meng was born in Hong Kong. He studied the art of Mantis Fist Boxing (To Chi Gung for most of his life. Lo Meng's first film appearance was in Death Chambers. He has been in over 30 Shaw Brothers productions and still makes occasional appearances on TV.
Usually casted as the slow thinking, very kind but aggressively stong hero, Lo Meng was the best in the group when it came to unarmed hand to hand combat. He is the only one to display his rare form of Mantis Fist Boxing onscreen. In Five Deadly Venoms, he played the Toad character - a strong, hard bodied, immovable fighter. You really get to see his To Chi Gung training in Invincible Shaolin and 2 Champions of Shaolin. His arm strengh, balance and incredible skill make all of his onscreen fights some of the best, authentic hand to hand choreography ever captured on film.

Interview with Lo Meng
Tue, September 21, 2004 - 1:16 AMStuart Cutler: You are reknowned for your muscular physique. Do you still train or practice regularly?
Lo Mang: I do not use weights. I practice Kung Fu every day to stay in shape and go to the park where I flex the branches of trees as a substitute for weights. I believe in training naturally instead of letting weights turn me into a great big monster.
Stuart Cutler: Do you still keep in touch with any of the other original Venom gang? If so, how are they and what are they doing now?
Lo Mang: Chiang Sheng passed away, Kwok Choy is working with me on this project, and nobody knows where Sun Chien or Lu Feng are or what they are doing. Nobody can find them.
