I'm putting this down, not as a manifesto, but a theory I would like to have discussed by Hung Gar-ists of all schools. Granted that Lam Sai Wing was known to alter and add forms during his lifetime,...
Here's the list, borrowed from the TaiPing website:
Style Origin Area Province Further Information
Luo Fou Shan Pai
罗浮山拳 Shi Pan, Pun Ning, Shantou Guangdong

As one of my upcoming novels will discuss the Hawaiian monarchy, I thank you for the tip.
Bartitsu etc
My apologies. Third time's the charm.

We at the Bartitsu Society are putting out a documentary about Sherlock Holmes and the lost art of Bartitsu, to coincide with the release of the Robert Downey Jr.
movie.
The clip for the...
I'm glad, HSKwarrior, that there is someone else doing my research ahead of me.
Do you have FREEMASONRY IN CHINA by G. Giles? I've only heard of it.
That link is awesome, Taiping. Thank you.
This link was given to me on another question:

Before this thread went into religious discussions, someone asked if there are any Hung books available.
Ther are two. The first is Thian Ti Hwui, The Hung League by Gustaav Schlegel. It's...
Perhaps a little Lion's Roar?
Of course, practically any style could show up in Canton, being a port city and so close to Hong Kong, where some early tournaments took place. WFH fought in one and...
We're cooking along.
Traditional Southern family styles: Hung, Lei, Mok, Choi (not Lee Fut)
And some unheard of style called Wing Chun. Wasn't that an Eighties pop group?:D
Jow Ga, but not officially until about 1915. Lau Ga. Lots of Ga's
We'll come up with the definitive list of what I'll call "Styles Wong Fei Hung Encountered".
Don't forget Hop Ga!
Ten years, that sounds about right. No short cuts. I'd better get back to work then. I'm a reference librarian after all.
Canton styles
Yes, Google IS my friend, but so are the reliable and knowledgable brains on this forum! You guys rock. Now if I could compress all your knowledge onto a zip drive...
I suppose I should add Foshan into the next, being almost a suburb.
What styles were available to students in Canton, Guangdong in its heyday at the end of the Ching Dynasty?
Dude, that's awesome. Just what the doctor ordered. Which site(s) did you get these from?
I know in the past we've discussed the Ten Tigers, but could anyone tell me the styles each of them fought under or created? As many as possible, anyway.
It's great to see the Holmes movie and the Bartitsu Society's work acknowledged on this, one of my favorite sites.
Thanks, fellas!

Thank you, Erik. I'll just forge ahead and pray that I'm creating a WFH that is as accurate as possible.
It appears that is all the info on Wong Fei Hung available. The rumor that some information about him may be hidden within certain Hung Gar circles is probably
unreliable. For now I'll continue my...
Gene,
I've been collecting all online articles I can find on Wong Fei Hung, breaking them apart and comparing them fact by fact. Your article was the most informative and interesting, and...
