I guess you have not heard about the reason theses things are not taught in our school?? Like I said before ,and with the mentality of some of the people in this group I will have to say again, SD went to Indonesia and adopted different traditions. All of the Chinese outward appearences were removed from the system while it was there.
What part of this is hard to understand??
Secret hand shakes?? You have got to be kidding me.
The alter prayers, lion dances, and such?? This maybe important in certain schools, but I have been to a lot of CMA schools and not all of them have one or practice these cultural rituals. Mostly because of religious beliefs. They are part of the culture not the martial practices.They have only been married to these practices for a short time.
All of the internal at one time was 1st Black belt material and up....alot wasn't taught until you got into the upper ranks...that is one thing that has changed with the internal program...at least here. If I haven't answered your questions....hit me back more specifically.

Although known as a Southern style, Choy Li Fut has its origins in both Northern and Southern China. Since the system's founder had three teachers, two from the South and one from the North, Chan Heung decided to combine the teachings of all three masters into one system. Thus, Choy Li Fut is one of the few kung-fu styles that contains techniques from both Northern and Southern Chinese martial arts.
No outside input?
Chan Heung was shocked when Choy Fok pointed to a large rock weighing about eighty pounds, and told him to kick it twelve feet. Bracing himself, the student exerted all of his strength as his foot crashed against the rock, sending it barely twelve feet away. Instead of giving the expected compliment, Choy Fok placed his foot under the heavy rock and effortlessly propelled it through the air. Chan Heung was awestruck by this demonstration of superpower.

are you dense? after chan heung created clf from his 3 systems he had learned, that was it. no more. he didn't add tam tui, hua, look boon dim gwun ect. thats the point. he created his sysytem and taught it. he did not add forms from other styles after he created his finished product.
