In honor of GBL's last post "where will the forum go" I am asking a couple of questions.
Who teaches the 12 word, 7 long, 8 short, 8 hard and 12 soft?
I have been taught the twelve word, but not the rest.
I will make it easier. Since Lee Kam Wings books list many of these, are yours similar?

well then, it seems that I´m forced to answer! :cool:
In the Lee Kam Wing Lineage ther e are the 12 keys very well known. Sifu Lee used to extract the keys to 31. But the important keys are the first 12.
The 8 hard and 12 soft are also known but less.
Teaching the 12 is a must. They were teached in our school as 8 basics (Au Lau Choy, Gwo Tong, Diu Chun, Bang Da, Jim Nim Sau, Tip Kaau, Him Sim, Tang Na). But the rest is more present in forms and applications.
I sometimes make a class subject "the 8 hard". But not regular.

Thank you sir
It seems that master Lee is very open and willing to share.
Would you happen to have a clip of the drills you have described?
Do you ever make a class on the 12 soft or is it to in depth of a subject? Like I said I have not been taught them, that is why I am asking. I have only seen them in the books from your lineage.
Have you been taught the 7 long & 8 short? Like I said I have not and have never seen them.
Thanks again
