Try contacting Master Jim Uglow in England UK...via www.kungfu.co.uk as he was a long time student of Grandmaster Chan

And if you found someone to translate, share the translation with the rest of us!

Here is a short bio of him.
http://www.hungkuen.net/masters-chanhonchung.htm
They don't mention anything about him doing Choy Li Fut or Monkey Kung Fu. I'd be curious to see if that's true as well.

Adam,

I think I know where your getting the Choy Li Fut and Monkey idea from. It's wrong.
Chan Hon Chong was Hung Gar. It was other teachers and sources that the Choy Li Fut and Monkey boxing came from.

Grandmaster Chan Honjung was one of the "orthodox Hung Kyun" (Hung Kyun Jing Jung) masters. i have never heard of Grandmaster Chan learned CLF or monkey style, although he has taught some (originally) taai sing pek gwa sets, like willow leaf pek gwa sabre (pek gwa daan dou)

as for CLF and monkey, Grandmaster Lau Jaam has studied CLF prior to Hung Kyun. Grandmaster Lam Jou has taught a monkey set long time ago, and also a monkey intro to the "monkey stick" (hang je paang)

all the best

PS: tailik, where have you dissapeared? you have posted great, great articles, thanx again for that

Do you know where he got the Tai Shing Pek War sets from?

Greetings,

I remember reading in an old issue of Real Kung Fu that he was involved in the Hong Kong movie industry early on. It is possible he may have picked up the form there.

I train with an elderly man in his seventies from Guangzhao, probably similar in age to Chan Hon Chung. This man studied Dai Sing Pek Kwa under Gen Duk Hoi. Perhaps Chan did likewise?

Chan Hon Chung was in Canton from 1936-1938. If he studied under Gen Duk Hoi, maybe it was during this time.

Also Y.C . Wong while being younger than CHC knows Tai Shing Pek Kwa. Is it posible it comes from the same source?

[ymotion]

Sifu Yc Wong does know and teach the some of pek wa system. He learned it from Sigung Lam jo good friend Gan Duk Hoi(I may have the spelling wrong) What Sifu teaches are the hand sets and the darn do.

It would make sense they come from the same source as both CHC and Sifu Wong come from the same lineage and I believe CHC and Sigung Lam jo were friendly.

PM would know more, he is kind of the historian for our lineage and has done alot of research on our branch.

Personally I hate the hand sets but love the Darn do!

we also have a pekwa dan do which comes from Ho Kam Wai Sigung in Malaysia...
