This thread is not going to die.

About 7 years ago, I actually visited the Bok Fu Do school in Alamo. I never heard of Bok Fu Do before though a Chinese lady told me that Bok Fu was interpreted...

I am a Chinese Christian and study and practice CLF. I don't bow to Buddha or any of the Eastern deities as taught by some sifus. I am not showing any disrespect, but just don't believe in them. I...

My Sifu does suggest doing the 2 butterfly knives first. Thanks.

After learning the wooden staff, my Sifu gave me the choice of going with the 2 butterfly knives or the single broadsword. I also e-mailed DFW and he suggested the 2 butterfly knives unless I had a...

I just finished using the wooden staff. I am leaning toward the 2 knives because then I can stengthen each hand with a weapon on each hand. As you suggested, with the sword, 1 hand would be idled. ...

Thanks. My choice is to learn the 2 butterfly knives set or 1 broadsword.

Excuse my ignorance. Which weapon for the 2 man form version.

All:

Which weapons form do you recommend to learn first between the butterfly knives or the broadsword?

Thanks

According Leo Fong's website (go to his biography and then go to his martial arts biography), he trained under Lau Bun for 5 years.

I have his book (published in 1976) and the CLF is from Lau...

How about strapping weights to both ankles when you are practicing or doing your sets. I've seen it done though I don't do it.

I met him last year and he was a genuine good guy. He may have taught many students but I don't think he had any offsprings to pass on his lineage.

As of last year he was located there. I had dropped by before going to the Gee Tuck celebration last year around May. I had called first to get his business hours. He is still listed in the yellow...

It is an alley that crosses either Washington or Clay Street. It is between Grant Avenue and Stockton Street (I think closer to Stockton) and the alley becomes a dead end. The building does not...

I forgot to mention that Master Ngan Cho Keong's father is Ngan Wan Lung and grandfather is Ngan Yiu Ting, who is the same generation (3rd) as Chan Yiu Chi (see Seisei's yesterday's posting).

Try Master Ngan Cho Keong in San Francisco's Chinatown:

8 Old Chinatown Lane
415-788-6933

I do not have a website.

Is Bok Fu Do really a Chinese system of martial arts? In GM Richard Lee's website, it states that Bok Fu Do was developed and founded by Richard Lee, who is not Chinese. The website states that Bok...

HSKWarrior:

I have been to and only seen the past 3 years' Gee Tuck. This year's is the best one yet. I remember seeing you at the Gee Tuck celebration 3 years ago. You were doing the drum for...

Who is Jazn? I assume he is Jazn Jay on the HS family tree. I could not find anything in Google.

Btw, I was at the Gee Tuck in SF Chinatown 2 weeks ago. Troy Dunwood did well.

CLFNole and HSKWarrior are correct. Ngan, Yiu Ting's grandson, Ngan, Cho Keong, teaches in SF Chinatown. Last year I spoke to him and observed his students practicing at his studio. He seems like a...

I restarted taking CLF when I was 51 exactly 2 years ago with my son who was 10 and also taking CLF. I had taken CLF about 30 years ago for about 3 years when I was in my late teens to early 20s. ...

Sifu Seng Jeorng Au is in Honolulu though he is not of LKH's lineage. Sifu Au is from Chen Yong Fa's lineage.

Thanks. I actually met him too. His students look good and from a glimpse of a move he was showing his student, Sifu Ngan looks good too. But, I am no judge of talent.

However, Sifu Ngan is...

I was just asking and did not want to start anything. Let's just drop the topic.

Has anyone heard of Sifu Ngan Cho Keong and know what his reputation is like?

Sifu Ngan Cho Keong's grandfather was Ngan Yiu Ting (3rd inheritor from Chan Heung's CLF) who learned CLF from Chan...

Does anyone know George Kikes and if he still teaches, where he is currently teaching?

He had taught the Lam Family Tiger Crane style in Walnut Creek, CA. He studied under Bucksam Kong, YC Wong...
