I am finding it disappointing that Black Flag Wing Chun is taking away from Ngo Cho Eng Chun of Gui In Lam lineage. Lots of Black Flag videos are out but one in particular shows Lo Han kung fu in the images.
This is Black Flags family tree from 2005 and clearly gives credit to Ngo Cho Eng Chun Group USA.
This is the same teacher brought up in the Ngo Cho thread back in 2007. I hear lots of people say Lin has Lo Han Kung Fu mixed with Vikoga wing chun. Its clear that from Ngo Cho Kun that one of the 5 ancestors was Lo Han. In Indo styles are mixed, so maybe Lin sees nothing wrong with making up stuff and telling as truth.

There are, of course, other teachers from different lineages. However, I don’t know about them enough to recommend their instructions. These include (there could be more):
- Bonifacio Lim (Beng Kiam)- NJ area
- Ben Asuncion (Beng Kiam) - LA, CA area
- Mark Wiley (Bengkiam) - CO area if I am not mistaken.
- Jose Parman (I forgot) - San Jose, CA area
- John Graham (Chee Kim Tong) - Mobile, AL (more of his students in AL area)
[SIZE=“2”]- Kenneth Lim in VA area. He advertises more as a Wing Chun and Hokkian Eng Chun styles, but one of his teachers is from Gui In Lam lineage.[/SIZE] - Kam Lee (A Malaysian lineage that I forgot) in FL
- Lo Ban Teng group as represented by Lo Siauw Gok’s lineage is ready to start teaching in USA. Lo Hak Lun, Lo Siauw Gok’s son states that hopefully it will happen in less than a year.
It is unethical for me to comment on Bonifacio

The noise about black flag wing chun is getting clear but why is Ngo Cho Eng Chun taking a hit because of Lin?
get out of here with your dumb ass wing chun complaining and whining.
There’s a whole forum of people two clicks down that will argue all day with you about your wing chun.
the rest of us don’t care.
There, in before the move.
lol
Sorry but one day this propaganda will one day be truth if ignored. Let other people hear the truth, sir.
Jeung Hung Sing : Victory to the Hung Mun
In the mountains of Chinas’ Guangxie Province in 1841, one of the famous 5 Ancestors of the Hung Mun Secret Society was living out the last days of his life when a 17 year old Jeung Ah Yim came searching for him. Once he learned of Jeung Ah Yim’s real purpose for being there he chose to take him on as a student and taught Jeung Ah Yim the art Fut Gar Kuen, taught him Chinese Medicine, and instilled the revolutionary spirit in him and personally groomed him to become a fighting squad commander called a Red Pole.
The Monk Ching Cho then renamed Jeung Ah Yim. The new name was Hung Sing which was a synonym for a 4 character slogan that refers to the Hung Mun winning the Victory. This 4 Character slogan is found on the flags of all 5 Hung Mun lodges as Winning the victory in overthrowing the Qing Empire was one of their strongest sentiments.
One of the most important bases for the Hung Mun was in the city of Fut San. Since a revolution was a bout to take place, the Green Grass Monk sent the newly named Jeung Hung Sing To Fut San to contact their leaders and open a location to begin teaching their freedom fighters.
Jeung Hung Sing’s gung fu swarmed over Fut San where entire neighborhoods were used as Hung Sing training halls (1849). Then in time with the Tai Ping Rebellion (1851) Jeung Hung Sing officially launched the Fut San Hung Sing Kwoon. From that point forward, he and his disciples were involved with every major uprising in southern china including the 2nd Opium War, the Red Turban Revolt, and even defended the city of Fut San during the Japanese invasion, in which they later got a commendation from the government for protecting their country.
In 1832 a member of the Green Grass Monk’s lodge which later changed its name to the Ghee Kung Tong arrived to set up their lodge in San Francisco. Here, the Hung Sing lineage once again reconnected on this continent with the Hung Mun in the 1930’s and has continued on through the present day.
But, the original Hung Sing name did eventually bring on some negative attention and Jeung Hung Sing was forced to change his schools name to avoid further drama.
Although the new Hung Sing name was less obvious, it was filled with a few connections to the Green Grass monk. This name change took place sometime prior or just after the passing of Chan Heung in 1875. And according to the Chan Family, it’s possible the name also stood for “Lofty Achievements” since Jeung Hung Sing was recognized for being one of southern China’s greatest fighters.
The original name given to Jeung Ah Yim by the Green Grass Monk.
Victory to the Hung Mun
The new name Jeung Ah Yim used to replace the original.
Glorious Victory
I am proud to be from a long line of fighters, as well as members of the Hung Mun. I am honored to carry the same rank once shared by Jeung Hung Sing, Lau Bun, Jew Leong, my sifu, and even my brother Dr. Sun Yat Sen. Long Live the Hung Sing lineage.

Keep this sh1t in the Wing Chun basement.
[QUOTE=MasterKiller;1039292]Keep this sh1t in the Wing Chun basement.[/QUOTE]
Yeah! Because as everyone knows, those other arts already have enough sh1t to deal with and don’t need any of ours. 
wing chuners are subhuman.
Heeeeeeeeeey, take it easy guys, Taokum is a new poster. Perhaps you should have advised him more politely?
What is this, lets chase away kung fu posters so that we can cluelessly discuss the “superiority” of MMAs and Kickboxing methodologies, without letting facts get into our way, week?:rolleyes:
Black Flag Eng Chun’s orginal family tree revealed and Ngo Cho Kun’s Family tree
Ngo Cho Kun (5 ancestors) has a male/female history, like Black Flag Eng Chun. I’ll show you how as best I can. Kenneth Lin’s (Salim) martial arts background is known in Indo before he left. He learned Gui In Lam’s Ngo Cho Kun lineage and then picked up Vikoga Wing Chun from Chung Che Man. When Lin came to America in 2005 he promoted Ngo Cho Kun and Vikoga Wing Chun as Ngo Cho Eng Chun Male/Female family tree. When he heard of VTM’s promotion of Shaolin Wing Chun he started to change his story in the Indo forums and advertisement in America. He attached Shaolin Wing Chun stories that VTM promotes to make a transistion. Today Kenneth Lin is trying to erase his Ngo Cho Eng Chun male/female family tree and Gui In Lam’s Ngo Cho Kun background by calling it Black Flag Wing Chun. He does this to declare himself grandmaster of Black Flag Wing Chun and promote his teacher Tio Tik Kwie’s status. What does VTM gain from this? Money from magazine articles, books and Shaolin Wing Chun 3-halls program. There is always a motive. Sergio gains advertisement promotion for his large schools in Europe. But this is at the expense of Ngo Cho Eng Chun and maybe others.
Original Black Flag Wing Chun Male/Female branch:
Kenneth Lin called his kung fu “Ngo Cho Eng Chun USA Group” when he came to America but today in 2010 he has transitioned to Black Flag Wing Chun. His family tree had a male and female branch as he published originally. Lin promoted the male/female version of Ngo Cho Eng Chun USA Group. Lin himself at first stated to the VTM: “The system as it was passed down was preserved in two forms: a Male aspect and a Female aspect.” Today his orginal promotion has changed. Today he declares himself as the grandmaster of Black Flag Eng Chun while erasing the female side, Vikoga Wing Chun, from his family tree and Ngo Cho Kun from the male side.
Where did Lin come up with a story of male/female for his Ngo Cho Eng Chun? Lin used Ngo Cho Kun’s family story for his self promotion and transistion to Shaolin Wing Chun Black Flag. You see Ngo Cho Kun has a story about a 6th ancestor who was female, I’ll show soon. But first, here is Black Flag Wing Chun’s orignal explaination in its transistion from Ngo Cho Eng Chun’s male/female history.
Ngo Cho Eng Chun/Black Flag Eng Chun’s male side (Lin’s original):
For the male branch, Lin had Ngo Cho Kun 5 male ancestor family lineage and teachers. That’s what he wanted us to believe. (Today this is Shaolin temple 5 Flag Wing Chun)
Ngo Cho Eng Chun/Black Flag Eng Chun’s female side (Lin’s original):
For the Female branch, he labeled Ng Mui & sometimes Yim Wing Chun. Lin learned various Wing Chun under Victor Leow’s Vikoga Wing Chun family tree. (Today this is Shoalin Red Flag Wing Chun or some color)
So you see, Kenneth Lin originally married Ngo Cho Kun with Vikoga Wing Chun to call it Ngo Cho Eng Chun USA Group in 2005. This is where the Ngo Cho Kun’s family story fits into his Black Flag Eng Chun promotion. You see Ngo Cho Kun is known to have a male/female story.
Ngo Cho Kun Male side:
Ngo Cho Kun has mixtures of 5 Ancestor styles: White Crane, Monkey, TaiZu(Grand Ancestor) and Lo Han (18 Immortals) and Tat Chun (Bodhidharma’s method).
Ngo Cho Kun Female side:
Mysterious Female Fist (6th Ancestor)
Facts:
Kenneth Lin’s Ngo Cho Kun family lineage is from Gui In Lam.
Kenneth Lin’s Wing Chun family lineage is from Vikoga Wing Chun.
Kenneth Lin called the marriage of Ngo Cho Kun and Vikoga Wing Chun, Ngo Cho Eng Chun.
Kenneth Lin has never denied learning Vikoga Wing Chun or Ngo Cho Kun.
Ngo Cho Kun is known to have a 6th female ancestor, Mysterious Female Fist.
VTM promotes a super secret Shaolin Wing Chun 3-halls (“Dim” for Fukien dialect effect) program.
This is the male/female story of Ngo Cho Kun! May the truth shine over Black Flag Eng Chun and the changing stories of Kenneth Salim, Benny Meng and Sergio!!!
