Wong Hon Fun Books

[RochSevenStarMantis]

Does anyone out there have a complete list of all Wong Hon Fun's books? I just got a hold of 14 of them, the back of one of the books shows 16, I was told that there was 35 or 38? If possible, please give the titles.

in the back of the Chop Choy book there is the kuen po of many sets. There was at one time a book for each of these sets. But most of them are unobtainable at present. Especially the weapons sets, (Ying Ching Dahn Dao, Ji Ng Gim, Luk Hop Seung Dao etc.) But the Fu Mei Saam Jeet Gwon is still floating around out there and I come across it once and awhile.

Taiji mantis,

A number of the Wong Hon Fun books are still available in Chinatown (NY and SF)).

You mentioned that Chop Choy is out there on a different post, any others you can let me know would be great. I will be in China Town NYC next month, if you know of any others that may be available. I hope that we will be able to make a trip to your school.

WHF did write many volumes of work but unfortunately many are now out of print. In fact some of his works were never even made publicly available.

Of the ones that were published and printed by Yih Mei, most commonly found are these 16 although some more easily found than others:
(As numbered on each book)

1. Sei Lo Bun Da (4 Directional Chase & Attack)
2. Daw Gong, Sup Baht Sao (Avoiding Rigid, 18 Ancestors)
3. Chap Choy, Kuen Po (Stabbing Fist, Forms list)
4. Lo Hon Gung (Chi gung form)
5. Bahk Yuen Chut Dong (White Ape Exits the Cave)
6. Bahk Yuen Tao Tow (White Ape Steals the Peach
7. Mui Fah Kuen (Plum Flower Fist)
8. Mui Fah Lok (Descending Plum Flowers)
9. Mui Fah Sao (Plum Flower Hand)
10. Yut Lo Zhaat Yiu (Essential #1)
11. Yi Lo Zhaat Yiu (Essential #2)
12. Sahm Lo Zhaat Yiu (Essential #3)
13. Jui Lo Hon (Drunken Monk)
14. Bung Bo (Crushing Steps)
15. Ling Bung Bo (Crushing Steps partner form)
16. Fei Ngaan Jerng (Flying Geese Palm)

If you want the Chinese characters for each of these titles, go to www.northernmantis.com (http://www.northernmantis.com) and look under the forms listing.

I have seen copies of most if not all of these floating around throughout the many bookstores in NYC Chinatown. I have seen more copies of Yin Ching Dahn Do than any other of the weapons forms books.

Good luck with your search.
