Wasnt there an Immortal/Iron leg Chen who propogated this style around Guangzhou?

Only previously heard of him from Tom Wong, but seems like he also came second in a police instructors tournament sometime in the 30's too.

Chen Yijiu was from Fuzhou. He is my Shihu. He is famous for breaking the leg of a Russian boxer in Singapore who went around challenging the Chinese boxers.

Who is Tom Wong?

Thanks.

I once photocopied an entire book on Fuzhou Dishuquan (woulda cost me 144.00 through amazon, and i paid maybe 15 bucks in ink). Actually, if you look at the wikipedia page for it, the book should be in the footnotes part. Nan Shaolin Leg Techniques it think its called. Its the same style that GETTHIN and Daxing88 are talking about.

It's pretty much a southern version of ditangquan (more like Liao Wuchang's monkey style with more legwork) . A lot more half and full bat stances in later sets, but otherwise it looks like fujian kung fu. It has a version of Sanzhan, that set that karate borrowed.

SifuWu, aka Wu Chanlong posts on here sometimes. He's probably the person you wanna look to ask about the style.

It helps a lot - thanks. I will be back in Fuzhou later this year, so I will be looking out for that version of Sanzhan- I know a few already but that will be a new one to me. Regards Gethin .

I know a practitioner of it. His name is Hung-Jai. His rooting skills are very good and he is quite explosive in his movements. His grip is also very strong. He can catch your hand or foot when you strike or kick, and apply his grip, and grapple with you. Many of his grappling moves contain rolling techniques. He is good on his back in open guard position, but he is also very quick to mount you.

If you get a hold of a copy of the documentary "Kung Fu Diplomacy" you'll see a demo of Gau Kuen.

This is not the first edition and the photos are a little dark, as if they lost the master and just photo copied the book.

U.S. teachers of Northern style ground fighting include:

- Grandmaster Alan Lee

Master Barry Gray (Former top student of Alan Lee. Teaches in Newark, New Jersey)

- Sifu George Hu Ling (Sifu to Tayari Casel)
