Ok once again, I'm talking about moving to Indiana and planning to move kwoons/lineages.

The one that I'd be moving to would be the Siu Yuk Men lineage. However I can't find any trace of his lineage anywhere.

Is anyone familiar with this lineage??


thanks
Matthew

Hi there,

You would appear to be quite lucky - Siu Yuk Man is an original student of Ip Man and i dont believe he has many instructors outside of HK.

Ive seen him on the VT Conference 1999 and he looks fine, and i know hes pretty high up in the VTAA.

Love to know how you get on - good luck !

ck is Chum Kiu....

If you have questions I think you should ask your teacher not the forum....

Ask my instructor about internet shorthand?

I've never heard anyone refer to Chum Kiu in the sense "he played his Chum Kiu" so I never figured that CK actually was Chum Kiu

And my instructor knows just as much as I do about Siu Yuk Men--- nothing more than a name and thats about it.

Your teacher may know more than you know.

Sometimes it is up to a student to find the questions and answers they need in there quest. The teacher can only show you the path they can not walk it for you.

Investigate things help make thoughts more sincere.
