internal in Choy li Fut

[Cincinnatus]

hello, I was just wondering if there are any internal sets in within Choy li fut. For example, I know that the internal set in Hung Kuen is Iron Wire and have seen in performed. It looks like a great deal of dynamic tension and hard qigong. Is/are the internal sets in CLF like this or are they "softer" practicing more soft qigong. Thanks.

Hmmm...guess it depends on what you mean by internal.

"Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu does not encourage its students to abuse or harm others with no reason. Nevertheless, in times when Kung Fu must be performed, Choy Lay Fut requires the student to change from a gentleman into a fierce and cold fighter."

Fiercist Tiger is right, Chen Yong-Fa teaches 4 internal sets in the Shaolin Lohan Qigong System, which is part of his family system. They are:

1) Laohan Sup Ba Sou
2) Siu Lohan
3) Da Lohan
4) Mo Gik Kun

You can check it out in:

There is also a message board there you can have a discussion on CLF.

PROFESSOR LAU BUN'S HUNG SING BRANCH HAS AN INTERNAL FORM CALLED UM YING KUEN WHICH FOCUSES ON THE CRANE,TIGER,PANTHER,DRAGON,SNAKE. THIS SET WAS PASSED ON TO PROFESSOR FROM MRS YUEN HAI SI-MO, MASTER YUEN HAI'S WIFE. SHE PASSED THIS AUTHENTIC 5 ANIMAL SHAOLIN SET TO PROFESSOR LAU BUN HER ONLY KNOWN STUDENT.

THIS SET IS DONE VERY SLOWLY AND DELIBERATELY, WHILE AT THE SAME USING CHI, AND IT TEACHES YOU TO BREATH PROPERLY AS WELL.

THIS SET CAN BE DONE AT A FAST PACE, BUT IS MEANT TO DEVELOP YOUR CHI FIRST AND ABOVE ALL.

THIS SET WAS THE TRADEMARK SET OF MY SI-GUNG JEW LEONG. WATCHING HIM PERFORM THIS SET WITH HIS MASSIVE ARMS WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE TO WATCH.
