Hello South Paw,

The Lijia Cheung Lai Chun (Pak Mei) learned from his master Li Mung (李朦) was Huizou Lijiaquan. He learned from Li Yi (李義 1747-1828) the founder of Huizhou Lijia (in Cantonese Waichow Lee Gar). Cheung Lai Chun was born in Waichow East River Area. This style is still taught in Huizhou/Waichow. See:

Hi Hakka Jai,

- Meixian Lijia (梅縣李家教) or Tieniu Lijiajiao (客家-李家教) Iron Ox Lijia Hakka style) of Li Tieniu (李鐵牛 1778-1874).

Phillip Lam of New Zealand taught Li Gar Gao and had the nick name of "ghost hands"

if any one knows of him or has information and stories about the training and system much appreciation

he is also known as the "father of NZ mauy thai" and i think in the end he went more in that direction publically, and taught only a few Li Ga Gao ...

so also interested in Hakka Li ga Gao style informations too

thanks~

edit .. sorry my old memory had the name wrong PHILLIP LAM
