its a vid with bruce lee movie clips and then some hung fa yi wing chun! I know they don't share much so enjoy!
P.S. if you want them to share more don't just insult them, make them welcome. i love seeing other takes on training methods etc.

This clip is product of a TV station down in Brazil. No actual technical HFY was show in this particular clip.

Well that's good to know, since 90% of this clip is from Bruce Lee flicks that have nothing to do with HFY!Originally Posted by hhe
But its typical media coverage. Looks like the news coverage in Brazil isn't much better than the news coverage in the US!

So the Forms being performed in the background of the Interview with the teacher, are not representitive of HFY ?
What about the shots between movie clips with the two men in black doing a Demo ?

I think it's fair to say that approach has already been tried without success.if you want them to share more don't just insult them, make them welcome.

Hello,
The man in the video, Alex Magnos, is a HFY teacher in Brazil under Master Benny Meng.
Alex Magnos was a Yip Man WC Sifu (Moy Yat lineage i believe) before he decided to start learning Hung Fa Yi long distance about 3 years ago. To date, Grandmaster Gee has only done 1 workshop in Brazil. The dummy form he is performing in the clip is probably from the Moy Yat lineage.
As for the guys in black, don't know what that's all about, looks like an old movie clip like so much of the Bruce Lee stuff.
Amen!Looks like the news coverage in Brazil isn't much better than the news coverage in the US!

The guys in black in the clip are HFY - including the wooden dummy moves. I'm sure of it.
And Andrew, you really crack me up, man...

The guys I think are HFY from Brazil. The titles - master this and professor that, and the moves - forms in the background, dummy, demos with headgear and other demo stuff - not so much. Or at least nothing that I recognize.The guys in black in the clip are HFY - including the wooden dummy moves. I'm sure of it.
And Andrew, you really crack me up, man...
And yes, anerlich is funny enough and well spoken enough to be worth having a pint with for the discussion and entertainment value.
No one of consequence...
Similar things...
Looks like parts of HFY's Siu Nihm Tau form during the first 1 min 30 sec, but looking at their mechanics I'd have to say they are missing the HFY WC Formula and I would have to say they have not yet learned of other things from HFY for their SNT form...
Not at all HFY...
The Muk Yan Jong in the footage is definitely NOT from Hung Fa Yi.
The Kwan Sau interceptions and following hands don't look like HFY to me.
The demo of the two guys on stage are NOT from HFY.
Just about everything else in that broadcast is NOT HFY.
-------------------------------
And yes, I am a HFY family member.

I speak Spanish and understand some Portuguese. The narrator clearly said
HFY a few times. The Sifu featured even said HFY. Also, Keith uses his real name here. For you to name call him anonymously says volumes. That knee jerk response doesn't help your cause in the least.

No. I don't speak Portuguese, but I can recognize when the narration mentions "Hung Fa Yi" multiple times. So it doesn't take a genius to conclude that the feature was supposed to be about HFY, and yet when the HFY instructor is speaking what we are seeing in the background is not HFY because, according to you, he is not "allowed" to film any HFY methods. So this is deceptive story telling at its best. Nothing stupid about that conclusion!
Fact 1: The story is promoting HFY in Brazil
Fact 2: Lots of unnecessary filler from Bruce Lee flicks, but hey...that's what attracts viewers!
Fact 3: What is being demonstrated (other than Bruce Lee) is implied to by HFY, since this is a story promoting HFY in Brazil.
Fact 4: What is being demonstrated is NOT HFY!
Fact 5: This is deceptive to anyone watching that doesn't know anything about HFY!
Fact 6: Nothing "stupid" about this conclusion
Fact 7: Whether or not I am an "ahole" remains to be seen, but you can't conclude that from what I posted!

Keith, I fail to see any deception. As Savi stated, they are doing a version of HFY SNT in the background. Yes, it does lack certain technical things, but Alex Magnos is most certainly a HFY guy.That sounds typical! Geesh.....give me a break! Now the HFY family is deceiving the general public in Brazil??!!!
As a rule, we as a family don't do videos. Sifu Magnos was granted an exception to promote his school. Trying to keep the HFY shown to a minimum is not deceiving in any way.
