From what i got from my boy, its a mixture of natives and Japanese born. It talks about how the vietnamese move in and kill off peopl without blinking and start extorting money from people that the japanese are working with.
I keep telling him to read faster so I can read it.
Never seen that movie, what is the name of it?

I forgot the name of the movie, but you can rent it at Hollywood video. I will try to find the name.

It really depends on who is teaching at the time. Sifus come and go in the triads. For awhile, AnLeong guys did Hung-Ga, and Hip-Sing did Choy Li Fut-because there was a Hung-Ga guy and a ChoyLiFut guy. Although, Poo Yee did Southern Mantis with Hip Sing as well. Chinese freemasons do alot of Southern Praying Mantis, it really all depends on who is working with whom at the time. Right now, I think it's more like buisness and underground nastiness. Usually the wet work is farmed out to other Asian minority groups.

There's a chinese restaurant in town with the name 'Tong Sing'
I like to imagine that it's a center for Triad activity in the
Western NC Mountains...just to crack myself up.
HA !
I heard this news story last week about 2 vietnamese men who
had strongarm robbed a nail studio in Spruce Pine NC (about 30
miles from here) owned by an asian man. They linked the same 2
guys to the beating of a buddhist monk in Charlotte and are
suspicious of a link to organized crime.
I knew this was a hotbed for triad activity.
Time to sharpen the hatchets and choppers !!!!

Starting the far queue
Isn't Tong Sing the name of the triad choir?

Oso,
Perhaps the brigands were wanting to paint their nails, so when showing the secret hand signal - One Finger Zen/Yat Ji Kuen - they would show their high rank in their secret society. Perhaps the Buddhist monk, they beat up, was mistaken for a member of the opposing Shaolin Sect vying for supremacy of the Gong Wu Rivers and Lakes Society.
I am going to stay clear of Charlotte. I better hide out at the caves in Nine Golden Mountain until it cools down :-)))
Cheers

well, it is a true news story and it was coincidental.
My hatchets are sharpened and my red turban is clean.
I'm planning on staking out area nail shops and am
seeking vengeance for the monk.
ALL TONGS BEWARE THE BEAR !!!!!

We used to have a particular Chinese Restaurant in Lebanon NH (replaced with Japanese restaurant) with an absentee owner that was always in HK and a revolving kitchen staff of folks that had like one eye, alot of scars and tatoos everywhere.

When working in a restaurant, the chopper is near at hand......
The Ching Dynasty had Red Boats.
Now we have Red Restaurant. Out of sight out of mind.
They dont call the old guy, chopping the duck Uncle Chopper for nothing. And I thought he got his scar on the cheek from being a butcher.

Ok, a SERIOUS response from someone who was about to go, and didn't BECAUSE of Triad problems...
To my personal knowledge, most of them learn whatever they picked up before they joined the gangs: various family systems, Southern styles (proximity to Hong Kong), etc. There doesn't seem to be a "Triad style", unless it's something that they put together themselves. Of course if that's true, it won't be common knowledge.
But in all honesty they are a gang, so don't go expecting to go toe-to-toe with one of them; should you have a run-in. They are more apt to pull a knife or gun, because ultimately all gang members are cowards.
