    Mel-Gar Leopard Kung Fu?

    In the most current issue of Inside Kung Fu there was an article about a rare southern style of kung fu called Mel Gar. This style was supposedly a leopard kung fu style that is no longer practiced by itself.

    It is taught by Grandmaster Chi-Chung Kwong who is a teacher of Lung Fu Ying Pai (Dragon Tiger Eagle system?).

    This article was written by Jason William McNeil. This person is a freelance writer and have yet to find out the type and amount of training he has?

    I have searched on the web and found nothing about Grandmaster Chi-Chung Kwong and Lung Fu Ying Pai (Dragon Tiger Eagle system).

    I was wondering if anyone has found any information about this system or about Jason William McNeil's background?

    Regards,

    Steve

    Judging by the photos in the article, I'd guess he holds high ranking in hairdressing, makeup and wardrobe design, and that he also holds the honorary title of "Simply Fabulous!"....

    I thought Mel-Gar was from the planet Remulak, I mean France.

    That is what I thought.

    I know that this article seemed very questionable but I just thought I would check and see.

    One really has to wonder why inside kung fu magazine allows people without real kung fu experience or good journalistic ethics to publish these articles.

    Regards,
    Steve

    Thumbs down

    My understanding is that "Hung Sing Frank" did all the research and fact checking for that article

    While a magazine has to find content somewhere, anywhere! my lord, that was a steaming pile of crap!

    My local bookstore seems to have stopped carrying it. Just KFM, Asian Journal of Martial Arts (or whatever it's called :-P), Tai Chi, a TKD magazine, and some Budo magazine now. Haven't seen a Blackbelt Magazine there in a long time either, surprisingly.

    With a hairdo like that you know right off the bat he has never been in a fight!

    Worst off, you can't block a kick with a leopard fist.

    It was truly a joke!

    hmmm, I would think with a hairdo like that, he probably got in plenty of fights.

    I don't think that getting beat up and possibly dragged into the bathroom for a swirlie are the same thing as "being in a fight".

    "Being in a fight" usually implies that you at least threw a few punches or something.


    As for IKF... that rag has always pretty much been the National Enquirer of martial arts journalism. At least back in the day they would feature an interesting article or two. Nowadays, I can't even stand to see the cover poking out of the magazine rack at my local supermarket. It's just embarassing.

    Talking

    brothers lets be positive, we dont want to be negative all the time. remember, all styles was new at one time, and people might not respect those arts at that time either.

    the good side, is that it gave my students a lot of GREAT jokes! we have a black guy in my school, who has long dreadlocks, and he looks like that dude in the magazine, muscles and everything, man they let him have it everytime he comes to class (he is one of my advanced students).

    so you see everything has a use....

    we have a guy who looks like Mel, or Fabio, or whatever his name is. But we don't make fun of him. He does hair really well, and since we will be coming out with our TenTigers line of swimwear, including "The Tiger Stripe" a men's thong in assorted colors and fabrics, including nylon, mink, leather, and burlap, we'll be needing a model...
