    Choi's Kung Fu in Los Angeles- List of Ship Pal Gi Sets?

    There used to be a school called Choi's Kung Fu in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Master Choi passed away some years ago, and there used to be a website listing the forms he taught at his school. Is there anybody on the board here that used to study there, and if so, do they have a list of those sets?

    You looking for the korean names or chinese names? I'm not sure exactly which sets he listed, but these are pretty common:

    Shi Er Lu Tan Tui (Tan Tei)
    Wu Bu Chuan (O bo kwon)
    Mei Hua Chuan (Mi hwa kwon)
    Yue Jia Chuan (A ga kwon)
    Xiao Suo Chuan (So chu kwon)
    Da Fan Che Chuan (Dae ban che kwon)
    Xiao Hu-Yan Chuan (So ho yun kwon)
    Tang Lang Chuan (Dang rang kwon)
    Jin Huang Chuan (Keum gan kwon)
    Hei Hu Chuan (Hok ho kwon)
    Wu Hu Chuan (O ho kwon)
    Kai Lu Chuan (Kerro kwon)

    I purchased the book a month ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Master Theros trained with Master Choi and puts a list of his forms in the book. Do you agree with Master Theros that there are 5 core forms in Ship Pal Gi, mainly So Chu Kwon (Xiao Suo Quan), A Ga Kwon (Yue Jia Quan), Keum Gang Kwon (Jin Gang Quan), Mei Hua Kwon (Mei Hua Quan), and So Ho Yeon (Xiao Hu Yan)? How about the main 2 weapon sets being Pal Dan Kum Bong (Ba Duan Jin Bang) and O Jang Ken Do (Wu Hu Dao)?

    Those seem to be the most consistent sets between the schools. But I have a few not listed there, and I've seen other forms that I don't have.

    I don't think so. Master Byong Yil Choi settled in Los Angeles in 1971.
