I firmly believe that YES, all southern arts share a "common ancestor".
That this commonality has "evolved" in different ways over the many generations makes a lot of sense based on what we see even nowadays in MA.

When you state in your above "article", Fu Sheng was one of Lau Kar Leung's favourite to-dai, but didnt study long....what do you mean.

Fu Sheng became Lau si-fu's to-dai in 1973, and was with him almost non-stop for two years in Taiwan, none of this two or three evenings a week...allday filming and training-probably seven days a week....as Hung Gar doesnt have THAT many forms it's not hard to see how Fu Sheng could have learned the Lau family Tit Sin Kuen by 1975-as he demonstrates it in Disciples of Shaolin-Hung Kuen Siu Jai...when Fu Sheng returned to HK in 1976, he resumed training with Lau si-fu who left Taiwan in 1975.

As for length of training, is that a factor considering there is a Hung Kuen "master" in the Czech Republic advertising two week Hung Gar courses that will then allow those participants, who pay a big fat fee???, to return home and teach under their family banner.....now that is a joke!!!

Your statement regarding Fu Sheng's status in the Lau family is also wrong. I have met several of the Lau Gar Ban over the years....and trained with them too...Gordon Liu, Lau Kar Yung and Mark Houghton have all confirmed to me that Fu Sheng was Lau si-fu's favourite and BEST student in his eyes....why else did he stop any teaching for over 6 years when Fu Sheng died???

Mark Houghton, my unofficial kung fu uncle also confirms the above statement regarding Fu Sheng's ranking on a kung fu movie audio commentary.

I have heard of Gordon Liu, I think I have heard of Lau Kar Yung (Gordons brother?) but who is Mark Houghton???
