    If it's a variant of Lung Ying, could just be that it is called that because who ever learned it began to teach it in Fukien. That's an origin story I've heard for some branches of Lung Ying.

    If it's a completely different system, all I would guess is that it was founded in Fukien and/or is said to come from the Southern Shaolin temple in Fukien.

    Fukien is Fujian, btw. If that's what you meant.

    I wonder if there's the possibility of it originating from Northern Dragon, and then moving south?

    Ok cool thanks for the info...

    Yeah im really in the dark so to speak with that side of things.

    I will try and get some more info, and when I do will post.

    The only other info I have is that its basically a folk line, father to son etc which is why its so small.

    That's understandable.

    Thanks for that. I had a feeling it might have been passed down that way. It must be pretty small to only have schools that teach it in two countries.

    Man, if I had $1,000 extra lying around I would SO go there. Temagami is beautiful. (But saying it's north of Toronto is a bit of an under-statement. It's north of North Bay.)

    Talking Dragon in San Diego

    Hey Gabriel, long time no see. Haven't seen you since Sifu Manny's B-day. How have you been?


    Anyway, Sifu Martin and Peter Pena are both in AZ. The school in San Diego is a Bagua school if I am not mistaken.


    I hope this helps,

    I have always liked Lung Ying, Bak Mei, Nam Tong Long Pai(whatever branch) for their structure and power generation.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    Makes one wonder about how common they all are...common as in descended from a common system.

    Perhaps, or even further back.
    But my point was not the common heritage, but that they all may have had a common "ancestor" from which they all evolved ( based on individual preferences and interpretations of the various masters).
    It wouldn't surprise me of SPM, WC, White Crane, Dragon fist, Pak Mei, Five ancestors, etc, all came from the same root system.

    if you ever read ginger fists old posts on here, the seed art for him was a hakka art way before it went to the temple to become southern mantis, since both CLC and dragons creator studied the same hakka fist art in their youth its not too hard to think they all come from the same seed fist, was that fist a hakka one brought to the south by the hakka or something else, who honestly knows its been so long all i know is that they are fun to practise
