Thanx, DD. What was your source for the chinese characters for Sam Dot?
What written material is there on this, and by whom? The reason I say this as there are many interpetations when one hears a word or name spoken rather than written. I'm just fishin' around, looking for clues at the scene of the crime, so to speak. Connecting the dots.

The source is the sun toi with its style kuen kit that Shifu Donald Wong who was one of the last disciples of Lum Sang Shifu in NYC, had up in his school a few years ago.

I remember the characters. I am lucky that I can read and write Hanzi, though I cannot speak Chinese very well.

Doc has a much better link with a great database.

Yes,you are right! (some things are right in front of your nose and you never see them-doh!) Thanx, Guys.

I was looking for a possible connection between Sam Dot and Sam Duhk,(possibly different pronounciations of the same name) both contributing to short bridge techniques within the Nam P'ai.

I train the Si Tai Gung (Great Grandmaster) Dr Nat Yuen lineage of Chow Gar SPM in Australia and its very intense.

Finally the light begins to shine!

Lum Wing Fay took three styles and made them into his own.

Jook Lum is the base, can you see which are the two flavorings that make the soup complete?

You people who can just decide whether or not to study SPM sicken me with envy. Seattle is a wasteland devoid of Hakka!
