    CLF Sifu

    Has anyone heard of Sifu Ngan Cho Keong and know what his reputation is like?

    Sifu Ngan Cho Keong's grandfather was Ngan Yiu Ting (3rd inheritor from Chan Heung's CLF) who learned CLF from Chan Koon Pak (2nd inheritor and son of founder Chan Heung). Ngan Yiu Ting and Chan Yiu Chi (Chan Koon Pak's son and 3rd inheritor) were classmates and their families were close.

    Ngan Yiu Ting and Chan Yiu Chi passed their CLF down to their sons, respectively, Ngan Wan Lung and Chan Wan Hon, both 4th inheritors of Chan Heung's CLF.

    Ngan Wan Lung and Chan Wan Hon passed their CLF down to their sons, respectively, Ngan Cho Keong and the famous Chan Yung Fa of Australia, both 5th inheritors of Chan Heung's CLF.

    From what I've seen he's not so good. Having a lineage is no guarantee that you
    know anything.

    We all saw your fight video. You have no basis to judge who's good and who's not.

    actually anybody can judge...it is an ability different from performing/executing

    whether he's right or not...that's something else

    the guy teaches at # 8 old chinatown lane is SF. He is a nice guy. His uniforms are usually green. I've watched he and his students perform at Tai Chi in the Park annual celebrations.

    as far as i know, his schools pretty quiet. not out in the public too much.


    but yeah this is the guy you are talking about.

    precisely. i can tell a good dancer from a bad dancer but i cant dance at all.

    i can tell a good singer from a bad singer, yet i cant sing at all.

    observation is different from execution.

    Yes this is all true but how you dance won't tell someone how you fight. I don't know this sifu and whether he is good or not but you can't completely judge a person from a "form" performance you have seen. Personally I feel if a sifu performs it should look fairly good but some people are just not good performers; however they could be very good at fighting and useage of techniques. It all goes back to judging a book by its cover.

    I always find it comical how people on this site put down others so easily from behind a computer. But whatever it's the society we live in now.

    Well we DIDN'T see your fight video and so you have no basis to comment.

    And I DO have this guy on video and I WILL put the video on youtube so all can judge.

    Would you guys like that?

    Would watching 1 form really tell us how good his kung fu is? I don't know if it's good or bad but if we don't study with the guy on a consistent basis who really knows? I agree with you about people getting caught up with names, it's rather stupid because although someone's grandfather could have been a top notch kung fu man his grand kid might have two left feet and zero talent but people will get caught up in the name.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the video but I will hold judgement for myself as it really doesn't do any good putting things out about a sifu online.

    my view

    He is good. I've been to his school twice. Once with a group of guys from my school and our teacher and once by myself to say hello when I was visiting SF.

    He is good, in my opinion. The second time I visited by my self I was looking at his weapons rack, he made all of his weapons....he insisted I pick up a heavy ass nine ring broad sword he cast, I did my best to do a form, it was heavy.

    He did a form next to show me up, and it was clean and tight.

    I think he is my my sifus cousin if I remember correctly. Hes a really nice guy and does herbal therapy as well.

    peace
    bryan.
