Been trying to do some research on the different "creeds" emphasised by the different lineages, for example I think

Hung Sing has something like: Fists should be like shooting stars

Buk Sing has something like: Extra inch forward extra power

Does anyone know what these are for the 3 lineages?

Cheers.

Bak Hsing "creeds"
that I know

whip the pole like the dragon whips its tail, punches are like a tiger sticking out its head

punches blow out the candles, foot work is like walking on the clouds,

an inch longer an inch stronger

God's hand leads the way

fu jow chop, best in the world

"whip the pole like the dragon whips its tail, punches are like a tiger sticking out its head"

This one is not unique to buk sing but to hung sing and I believe CLF in general.

I think your right,
but it is perticularly important to us though, it is the poem written on the graduation scroll my Sigung gave my Sifu.

In fact i have those tattooed on my forearms.

CLF can claim it, but it IS typically used by hung sing people. But Since Buk Sing IS hung sing, they use it too along with Tam Sam's own.

Cheers guys but the above is what I was looking for. I have told the above before but can't remember all of them.

Buk Sing Goon Fremont website has this "creed" or "motto"

turn and face your opponent like tiger staring back, strike like a dragon ripping fruit with it's claw.

Is this a common buk sing one?
