bruce lee learned a few northern forms, but never told people he trained in those styles. so what? whats the big deal?
Unless it's written in a different dialect or something it doesn't sound like any of the basic 10 Jing Mo sets. I was thinking Lien Bo or Sil Wah but I can't imagine them being said like that. There are a couple of other sets that I actually don't know that could be it. There's Five Step Fist (Wu Bo Chuan) and Short Strike Fist (?). I have to say, that seems like a lot of stuff for just the short time he studied with Shiu Hon Sang in the late fifties, especially considering he was studying Wing Chun as well. He probably learned some of these forms in '65 when he went back. I would actually be curious to know if he learned the Tan Tui sparring set as that would definitely be something I could see him wanting to learn.Quote:

Siu Lum Fighter, a question for you since youve read the Hawkins Cheung articles. In them, when he lists the forms he learned along with Bruce from Shiu, he says they learned a basic Northern form called "Lam Ad" or something like that. Any idea what that is?
Here is the quote from the article: "We began to learn lam ad (a basic northern style gung-fu set). "
I dont speak or read chinese, so I have no idea if its another way of saying one of the Jing Mo forms? Id like your input.
