Hi Guys,

I thought I asked Sifu Frank about shouldn't BSCLF also have "Che Kuen" as part of their curriculum since it's a beginner's form and most likely a form everyone has to learn first in Hung...

Perhaps...under the right circumstances?

Was it bare hands? Darn!

"PH: What was it like being an Asian in America around the time that martial arts exploded big time onto the US scene?
SC: Amazing. I was treated as "the New Bruce Lee” by the white guys as my...

I get what you mean

BUT it seems a little unfair to lump in "killing tiger" and "super feats of strength" with "magical spells" and "devastating chi"

The first two is at least "plausible" if...

Here is an interview from Kungfumagazine on Stephen Chang...although it seems like they spend half the time asking him about...

Haven't been able to find the Double Single Staff form yet ... but found this form that is exclusive to BSCLF:

This lineage is suppose to be from...

Thanks for the replies you guys.

Seem to make sense based on what you saying. I have never seen a BSCLF Staff form that wasn't Baat Kwa or other name and looking kind of made up.

I am very...

You staff form is something like this?

Hi Jimbo,

your lineage sounds very fascinating. I hope to learn more about it.

Hi Frank,

I was wondering...I read that Tam Sam also learned "Seurng Gap Dan Gwun" Double Single Ended Staff...

Definitely.

Wushu guys sometimes don't even have their fist aligned properly for punching.

Jimbo, may I ask if you study Buk Sing Choy Lay Fut?

Understood.

He does seem to switch quite a bit over the years. Maybe he just has a lot of love to give and couldn't quite settle?

I am impressed with the massive amount of styles he is able to...

Troy Dunwood he does seem to have learned quite a bit of different styles. His new focus is on Pek Kwar lately I believe.

I would love to see Drunken form you speak of (even if without the...

DFW - he has good standard for mass instruction but a bit move by move like loses something.

Your Sifu is very high quality. The apple shouldn't fall too far from the tree.

I am big guy too...

Hi Jimbo,

I think we are both in agreement that it's about who is teaching that makes the difference.

The difference can be very apparent in the way we perform our sets. When my Sifus teach me...

This is very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. Who knew there would be so much difference within lineages so close together.

I am especially interesting in the Drunken Form you mentioned...

Sifu Frank,

In Hung Sing CLF there are 8 Hand Forms?

Was Cheung Hung Sing able to pass on all his knowledge prior to his passing?

Just curious.

Frank - I wanted to say that both you and your Sifu is someone I was super impressed with the way you move.

Oops my bad...

I was confused because you quoted my buk sing comment (where I didn't use the word "impressed") with another section where I did.

I was actually referring to some self proclaimed...

I didn't say whether I was "impressed" or not but rather it wasn't for me. It wasn't the lack of forms but rather the way they moved in the forms. Again only based on my limited exposure.

I am...

I can't agree more with your statement.

I hope to learn for as long as I can in my life.

Style doesn't matter, to me it's all about who I am learning from.

When I found my BSL Sifu I...

Thanks for the info! It sounds like you also train in Northern Shaolin?

I thought you were a Black Tiger guy. :) :confused:

Actually I have been learning primarily Bak Siu Lam for the last 10...

Thanks for the info. I agree that it's better than leaving a blank spot.

Sifu Frank,

I am curious where you go the pictures for Choy Fook, Li Yau San, and Chan Yuen Wu?

They all look eerily the same...and I know how all us Chinese "look a like" to some but...

I...

CLFNole - Grandmaster Wong Ha referred to Ng Lun Choy as Che Kuen as well.

Frank - Long Fist looks great. Too bad BSCLF lost that form in their lineage.

Northern Shaolin & Buk Sing Choy Lay Fut...

Interesting stuff...thanks for the reply!

When I was 5 years old I learned "Che Kuen" aka Ng Lun Ma from Wong Ha lineage (which is essentially similar to Chan Heung lineage).

I see a lot of...
