Yesterday I had an interesting training session with a gentleman called Chon, who used to teach CLF in my city, Rio de Janeiro, by the middle of the last decade.

Mr. Chon has learned Choy Lee Fut from Master Lap Wah Ng (Brazil), on his turn a student of Master Paul Chan (Canada).

I enjoyed the training very much, and I'm grateful to my Sifu, Wong Zen Yem (NYC) for encouraging me to have as much experience with CLF as I can, no matter what family/lineage I get in touch with. Considering that there's not even a single CLF school in Rio at this writting, each opportunity I have is more than precious.

The material Mr Chon shew me and drilled with me was objectively distinct from my previous CLF experience with (Futsan Hung Sing?)Master Chan Kwok Wai's disciple Marcello Teixeira (on whom be peace) and (King Mui) Sifu Wong Zen Yem. Many of the exercises that Mr. Chon shared with me had a distinct Hung Gar flavour, with lots of dynamic tension and lots of one finger bridge hands.

This is the form Mr. Chon performed last night (the video is of his sifu doing a sort of step by step demo): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B01e5n_aTcw

I have never heard of a Siu Nam Kuen either in CLF or in Hung Gar. It resambles HG the most, though.

And here is his sifu performing Siu Mui Fa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4IJ52SZkSI

Almost the same as my Sifu's Siu Mui Fa (Chan Family/King Mui), but certainly with another flavour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-SFvbnzTuU

Master Paul Chan deleted his lineage charter from his website, but I found this one: http://www.geocities.ws/san_soowushu/Siu_Hung.html

At first glance, it seems he's Chan Fam, but I wouldn't say so after the last night training.

Would anyone here be willing to share some info on Paul Chan's Choy Lee Fut?

Thanks in advance!
