    Any Wong Ha disciples here?

    My friend John has been showing me Sui Jee/sip? Kuen I think it's called while I show him some white crane footwork...so far I've been shown Sow, Gwa/shovel palm, palm hand hook around and grab and sow, gwa/tiger claw/ vert leopard fist, pull back gwa/shovel palm in twist stance/ shuffle to horse and uppercut swing fist while gaurding the crown...on Thursday I'm going to start learning the bow which is really long as far as intro's to forms go!. We're gonna work on CLF horse stance drills and lots of applications that I know from Kaido's Kajukenbo Hop Gar techniuques. He has three empty hand forms and a sword form forgot his staff set been doing it for three and a half years and trains BJJ with Marcus Saores, should be fun.

    Looking for some cool info on Wong Ha and his world wide disciples.

    Thanks,

    James.

    There are a few on this site that pop in from time to time. Sifu Hilbert Yiu was one of Wong Sifu's more well known students but there are a number sifus in the Vancouver area from Wong Ha. I think 2 of his female students carry his school name can't recall there names but one is a Wong Sifu.

    Wong Ha disciples in Vancouver as CLF Nole mentioned, you have Sifu Hilbert Yiu and the two female students Hailey & Carmen (in Richmond). You also have;

    Peter Wong - teaching in Chinatown out of the Hon Hsing Athletic Ass'n & the Chau Luen Society.

    Paul Tam - took over the Richmond branch of Hilbert Yiu's school. Now known as CLF Canada / Gong Jan.

    Tony Lee - North Burnaby

    Gary Seto - North Burnaby

    Mathew Wing @ the Strathcona Community Center near Chinatown.

    Lam Dat - teaching at the Lum Society in Chinatown.

    Hope this helps.

    My friend trains with Gary Seto's guys, unfortnuantly due to work he only trains like once a moth now but when he learned it he was going full time...dude's ten years younger but has some good kung fu for only three and a half years...his jujitsu helps him bring the form to life... Does Satori Science still post here I wonder if he's teaching Buk Sing in Vancouver yet!?. My friend doesn't know much about CMA history as he's pretty young still into he legends and such, it was mentioned that Sifu Seto studied with Wong ha and anothe r CLF teacher on the mainland...anyone know if it was from the same branch/family of CLF?.

    peace

    FP do you know what the class schedule is like at the Bak Hok school on Main street...i don't have the time to seek full time discipleship and the sifu is getting older I imagine It would be cool if I could just drop in there and get them to show me how to use white crane punches in the ring for san da...what lions roar related schools are around vancity as of the current Olympics?.

    Vincent Chow's Bak Hok School is closed down, the location is now a Marco Suarez Bralizian Jujitsu school. Not sure where or if, Vincent Chow is still teaching.

    As to other Lama/Hop Ga/Bak Hok schools there is;
    Wilson Wu in Richmond (Hop Ga among other styles) http://www.kungfu-ocean.com/
    There are some of Tony Jay's Lama people still active; Perry Lo & Vernon Shewchuk

    Gary Seto studied with Wong Ha mostly but also in Singapore from Hung Sing Jeung Yim lineage Master.

    Satori teaches here; http://www.dojang.ca/about/instructors/

    You gotta love youtube...I'm pretty sure @ 32-40 second mark is the exact style-combo I was shown first. Now I'm working on horse stepping drills and chop chois in combination...it's cool how CLF has a lot of the crane biomechanics with one arm straight out and the rear coiled up behind. Fun

    1st clip is my si hing/si suk from the Lee Koon Hung line.

    2nd clip is Chan Wing Fat - Chan Hueng's great great grandson.

    Same form but with variations as things change as they pass the various branches.

    Wong Ha Club during the early to mid 80s I believe
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkzvAe7i2m0

    Hilbert Yiu of Shung Ying Kung Fu Club
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52k6j4wm7TY

    Wong Ha Dinner Party with Demo Tiger Leopard Two Man form
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avfpOsrDlPU

    The page that hosts these videos also has more recent ones primarily of Hilbert Yiu's current students primarily in competition.

    This is Paul Tam (former Hilbert Yiu student, now running his own school in Richmond)

    ^^Awesome Thanks FP and CLF Nole...So I did my first day of Chop'n' the white canvas mung bean wall bag, almost got the Horse stance power drills with the added hand forms, and my pal gave me some awesome joint pain medicine which looks straight out of 1965 full of chinese text I have no idea what's in it except maybe cinnamon and peppermint but I'm saying I spend thirty bucks on advil every few months to medicate my damaged right wrist...50 cents of this willy wonka liquid and I'v had full range of motion in my broken power hand wheras three days ago it hurt just to scoop on spoonful of freagin' ice cream!. lol AMAZING


    gonna make some new CLF history and Chinese medicine threads in a bit, peace yall.

    So I think Wong Ha learned from Chan Yu Chi, if this is correct does that mean the master in the video is direct brothers with Wong Ha flavor of CLF?. Doing this research on the fly I'm hoping to impress my friend by unearthing rare CLF video's online...I have all the free time in the world and my dude is pretty busy

    help, lol
