No_KNow. “Don’t align me to a school”?
I assume by this you mean a physical representation of that which you study. However by logical transference one could argue that you are then not aligned with Hung Fut. Sifu Tai Yim is aligned with Hung Fut, The school is aligned with Sifu Tai Yim, etc. Forgive me if I took the phrase too literaly, I am not an english major, as I’m sure my grammar discloses. You ARE a STUDENT of the TAI YIM KUNG FU SHCOOL.

Oops, seven, not eight twenty-nine yet. Oh well, keep this in your pocket, and look at it in a month. :slight_smile:

So am I gonna have to buy both of you guys a beer as soon as I get to Kensington (Assuming I’ve got this blasted job)?
This place is just brimming with future sihings. :smiley:

I’m enjoying this thread, stealing a lot of info. :stuck_out_tongue: hehe

BTW- Ego- are you saying the principles are the same? Unless they are the same, what you said about Hung Fut being the same as Hung Gar, could apply to every martial art- they’re all pretty much the same in the end.

Two punch more punch frikkin punch months! punch :mad:

fut gar

I studied Fut Gar under sifu Peter Nosler In Portland OR. It was similar to hung gar or choy li fut. Its full name is Bak Mei Fut Gar and it’s a rare family style with shaolin origins. It’s not the same fut gar as the others. It had Fairly high stance for a southern style and they chambered at the hip. I only got to learn the first form that consisted of arrow fist with a lunging slide step and od fist linked elbow stikes. That was the styles most fundimental techinques. A cool, interesting southern style.
