Hung jay pang staff form of CLF

[kup choi]

Does anybody know anything about this form? Is it in anybodie's lineage?

[CLFNole]

I know this set (I am from the Lee Koon Hung line) and I know quite a few other lines have it as well such as Chan Kin Man (HK & China) and Edmund Ng (England).

It is a sheung tow kwun or double end staff set.

Peace.

[Mano Mano]

If you are from sifu Edmund Ng's school in Newcastle the form is called Hang Jeh Pang, travel person staff or Pilgrim staff.
There's a story about your sifu's sigung Chan Hon Hung fighting some nationalist soldiers with some of the forms techniques.

It is funny about the translation of the set. Some translate it to monks staff/monks pilgremage staff and others as monkey king staff. Hung gar (although a different form) uses the monkey king staff translation but some CLF people use it as well.

I think the monk translation makes more sence.

[Mano Mano]

As Hang Jeh can be used to describe a monk on a pilgrimage. I like to stick to the reference to Monkey king in the old Chinese novel The Journey to the West. In the novel Wu-kung the Monkey King, is also known as Shun Hang-Jeh “Pilgrim Shun”.

[CLFNole]

So are you saying that the Monkey King was on a pilgrimage? Is hung jeh referring the the monkey king himself or the monk that was traveling with him?

[Mano Mano]

I was told by one of my CLF brethren who is Chinese speaker and has been involved in CMA Hung Gar, CLF & San Sao since child hook in Singapore that Hang Jeh translates as a person who travels or Pilgrim.
I not sure if pilgrim refers to the Monkey King or Xuang-Zang (Tripitaka) but both were on the pilgrimage.

Yeh, i actually know it as Pilgram staff, but have seen it translated to monky staff, (thats why i asked) cheers for the response.
I've heard the story about fighting the solidiers with it aswell, good stuff
