As of 12-17-02 it appears that the generally accepted view, (at least on this forum), is that Chan Heung was the founder of CLF (14 to 4 votes).
The purpose of this poll was demonstrate to bean curd that the generally accepted view is that Chan Heung was the founder of Choy Lay Fut.
Now, I don't suppose to know WHY this is the generally accepted view. In fact, it could be the completely wrong view for all we know. Nor do I claim that this poll is in anyway concrete data.
But in this limited sample of kung fu players on this forum it does appear to be the most accepted history.
If we extrapolated this data out to the CLF community as a whole(which is really kind of silly) then it would appear that the Jeong Yim/Chan Heung co-founder theory is a minority viewpoint.
We'll see if the numbers change in the coming weeks as more people put in their input.
