Heads or Tails?
Hey guys, do you know if there are any Choy Lay/Li/Lee/Lei Fut schools in Austin, Texas?
I tried doing a google search and kept getting very ambiguous results, that basically resulted in people posting about CLF on MA forums from Austin....but I saw no school, specifically.
thanks,

elsewhere i saw posted that goju has shotokan as a subschool. do you disagree on the similarity between goju and clf?
in my edjucation clf is a principle applied to forms and techniques and not a style per se. Hung fot is a style (with three sub schools), Wah Lum is a style, Tarrn Lang is a style, Hung Gar is a style (with seven sub schools), Li Ling Pi is a style.
but they all do clf.
sorry bout the confusion on which austin.
is the guy you're talking about from the San Antonio area previously or does he have a student there? 'cause i know there's clf in san antonio, and i know there's goju/shodokan in austin and elsewhere west of huston/d-fw. but i didn't know your named person was there, too. does he have an informal school at some other business he runs or is it a bread-and-butter school?

Choy Lee Fut is a stand alone style. It's not a principle...

Interesting concept about CLF being a set of principles but completely incorrect. It could be argued that Tang Lang is a set of principles that could be applied to forms but I doubt you would convince anyone.
Where did you get that impression? Funny that you should mention Wah Lum. BTW, Wah Lum is not CLF although there is a southern influence in the sets. It did, afterall, come out of Guangdong.

CLF is a stand alone system it has at least three sub-branches that I know of (chan, hung sing, and buk sing). It has its own unique forms/sets and weapons.

Anton:
"chan" is hung gar.
the second one is hung fot.
the third one, which wah lum is the daughter of is tarrn lang, the clf principle of iyip.
the principle upon which wah lum was founded was derived durring the big fight: it was a single finger claw similar to hung gar's left finger pinched under the thumb for more support in deeper penetration attacks combined with the strikes of wing chun. iyip discovered it and tried to teach it to chan durring the fight.
