I was wondering why Yau Kung Mun denies that they are Bak Mei Kung Fu? Ha Hon Hum was one of the top students of Cheung Lai Cheun in GuangJau. In GuangJau Ha Hon Hum taught Bak Mei for a long time. There are still many lines of Bak Mei that continue from him.

Last year Ha Kwok Cheung came to GuangJau and he performed at the Bak Mei gathering, it seemed that it was the first time that they gadmitted ith. Now, I have seen the Yau Kung Mun school and their curriculum.

All their forms are Bak Mei, the same names and the same movements. http://home.iprimus.com.au/ykm/exter...s.htm@However they leave out CLC in their lineage. I have been told that its because they include internal elements, from HHHfs other teacher monk Tit Yan, that are not found in Bak Mei so they changed the name. Well, Bak Mei is an internal system, having the softness of TaiJi and the explosiveness of Hsing Yi, and even has its own Chi Kung. The kung fu practiced in YKM is Bak Mei!
Of course they practice a touch differently from Bak Mei, but so do all schools in Bak Mei, the differences arenft an issue. The issue is why doesnft YKM, a system made up almost entirely of Bak Mei, recognize that they did infact came from Bak Mei through the teachings of CLC?
