I have studied the history of CLF , along with who's who in the CLF arena. I came across with reading the history of Tam, Sarm's life history at buksing.com, and read that Vince Lacey mentioned that there was a feud between Tam, Sarm and Ngan, Yiu Ting, and Ngan's two family members, and Tam won all three of them etc....as quoted below:
'All went well for Tarm Sarm until one day, while his Sifu Lui Chang was away, he had a confrontation with a senior classmate, Ngan Yui Ting, and two of his family members. They all happened to be his .Si-Sook・s・ (his Sifu・s fellow junior colleagues, or younger uncles), and Tarm Sarm subsequently beat up all three of them! After this, the incident was known as .Kuen Da Sarm Ngan・, or .Fist Defeated Three Ngan・s・! '
The truth of the matter is, Ngan, Yiu Ting, was a closed-door disciple of Chan, Koon Pak for years, and never a student of Lui, Charn. Ngan, Yiu Ting also had only one brother who was not even in the martial arts arena. So the basis for what Vince mentioned about Ngan being Tam's senior and 'fist defeated three Ngan's' just can't stand on its own foot.
There was indeed a feud between Ngan and Tam, and the result of it was actually well documented in several historical text published in Guangzhou, China. I have read them all myself.
I will not disclose how the feud ended as this is unfair to all parties involved.
I have no interest to stir up any trouble, but just want to clarify a few things here about Ngan, Yiu Ting's life history....
For those of us who have not heard of Ngan, Yiu Ting , he was the late CLF master Ho, Ngau's sifu. Ngan's school was named 'jup sheng tong' in the BoonTong district in Guangzhou.
Ho Ngau was one of the students and I believe he was the only one managed to escape to Hong Kong after the communist take-over of China in 1949.
