I am impressed with the effectiveness of white Eyebrow, but it seems like all of the moves are intended to kill or cripple. Is there more to this art than that?

Nope.
Hi curious,
The anwser is simply yes. There is a less distructive way to do Bak Mei. But than again, will you be getting your money's worth?
Students in the begining would be taught the less destructive version. For example in Jik bo (Straight Steps), the finger jab can be use as an intercepting move, and the cross that follows will be a simlpe reverse punch instead of a pheonix-eye (the machanics of that is different from a reverse punch). IMHO, it can be done but it feels like it's empty inside.
Hope this anwsered your question.
Peace to all

P.S. Bak Mei is Kung Fu not martial sports please keep that in mind. You are wasting your time if you try to understand it from that angle.

its a good system, but in my experience, people that are CLF students have taken this style and all have mentioned how they wanted to go back to CLF.

from what they've told me they preferred the fighting method of CLF after learning bak Mei.Why is that?

yeah because you can actually spar in CLF as opposed to bak mei where you and your opponent are more likely to be maimed or killed.
which explains the exodus from bak mei back to CLF... some people just don't have it in them to study purely maiming and killing folks.

Nah, it has zero to do with the system.which explains the exodus from bak mei back to CLF... some people just don't have it in them to study purely maiming and killing folks.
Sure a system can pick up a rep because of a certain practitioner or two, but that has to do with them and not the system per say.

i know you can't be serious!!!!!!yeah because you can actually spar in CLF as opposed to bak mei where you and your opponent are more likely to be maimed or killed.
My Fu Jow will rip your flesh from your bones.....those who've met me personally know i know how to use a proper tiger claw. secondly, it's clear you don't understand the inner workings of CLF. I won't explain that here.
so, you say a bak mei student would maim or kill their opponents. now that leads me to this question......"HOW MANY STUDENTS HAVE BEEN KILLED OR MAIMED IN A BAK MEI CLASS OR TRAINING SESSION?"
That's the most ridiculous statement i've ever heard in my gung fu career.which explains the exodus from bak mei back to CLF... some people just don't have it in them to study purely maiming and killing folks.

I know I'm just a noob and all but it seems like it IS the system. The goal of the system has to be taken into account. A system like wrestling aims at submission whereas some systems aim at vital points striking, destroying joints and gouging eyes and whatnot. I know that wrestlers can be potentially deadly and they can choke you out and kill you but other systems seem more direct. If I have been training and conditioning my fingers to gouge out eyeballs and my oponent is training to pin me then I would say that my art is more "deadly" because the intent is different.
