Weapons and obscure forms are to come.....

[Serpent]

Is this the syllabus from your school Fu-pow? What lineage are you?

[Fu-Pow]

No, not a syllabus. This is a compilation of forms mainly from the Chan Family branch, a lot of which we don't have. This is more like a list of forms that I already know and ones that I'd like to see and possibly be interested in learning. I have included a few forms that are unique to our branch, for example Fu-Pao kuen and Tuet Jin Kuen. We have influence from both Jeong Hung Sing and Chan Family branch.

[alecM]

Fu-Pow, on the list of forms from our school I gave you I listed a form called yat mun kuen. Apparently the correct name should be yap mun kuen.

[Fu-Pow]

AlecM-

I'm going to include that form but I'm including it in "obscure" forms because most lineages don't have it. Not in anyway saying it isn't valuable or isn't CLF.

The rest of list should be posted soon. Will include weapon forms, 2 man weapon forms, dummy forms and "obscure forms."

Cheers

Ba Gua Long

[Fu-Pow]

I haven't seen Ba Gua Long on anyone's form list. Perhaps someone is calling the same form differently than the Chan Family. Maybe Ba Gua Long is the same thing as Ng Ying Daai Ba Gua? This would make sense because they would both include the Long Ying.

[firepalm]

It's 'Long' as in rough translation for brotherhood or something like that. The old Choy Lee Fut book mini mag put out back in the 70s lists it, Wong Ha in Vancouver & Wong Doc Fai also teach it.

Cheers!

[Fu-Pow]

Hmmm...interesting. I didn't see it on the list at plumflower.net. I still think it probably corresponds to one of the forms already on the list. Which one though? The only way I would know is if I saw the forms and I don't see that happening anytime in the near future. I'll add it to the "obscure" list even though it might not be obscure.

Ciao

Fu-Pow, could you quantify how Tuet Jin is unique to your branch?

[CHAZ]

Yeah, I was wondering about that myself, as my school also uses it.

[Ben Gash]

Oh, and Yat Moon Kuen is also found in the Lee Hin and Bak Sing Fut Gar branches. That makes it a bit less obscure

Is that Iron Arrow? If so, Dave Lacey certainly had it on his curriculum, and he teaches Buk Sing. I remember a lot of people considered it their favourite form.

[Mika]

Fu-Pow, you have done a great job!

If you need more information about the internal forms, you know where to go...(this might help a little: http://www.clfma.com/modules.php?op=...topic=287&2074)

Tit Jin Cheung Kuen may or may not be the same form as the one discussed here. Spelling is always kind of flexible with these names...

Tit Jin Cheung Kuen is very, very Hung Gar, and that's where it comes from, originally. It has Choy Lee Fut "flavor" (which makes it very different in many people's opinion, not so different in others'), though, and since I have not seen any Hung Gar players perform their version of the form, I am far from being able to say whether this is the case or not or what that would even mean, really. But it does feel very different from the other forms I have learned and it corresponds to the idea I have of Hung Gar.

A lot of elbows (blocks), a lot of cheung ngan choi's, very mobile, a lot straight lines both in footwork and in strikes (although there are several other patterns involved, too, like 45 degree stepping and sow chui's)...sound similar at all?

Oh yeah, extremely long (about 350 moves, depending on the way one counts them). If I am not mistaken, it is one of the longest forms in Choy Lee Fut.

Good luck completing the list
