I do remember seeing a book on the 108 locks by Lau Fat Mang.
There is Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw here…

He is under Grandmaster Fu Leung. If you want to learn how to actually use Eagle Claw you will do well in that system.
Good luck,
4 Dragons
and what system is that?
Eagle Claw is Eagle Claw. No difference. Just the emphasis of the instructor teaching.
You got forms nuts who can’t fight their way out of a paper bag
You got fighters who “can fight” but don’t use their “style”. Chop Sakie. (in my opinion if it works fine)
In all its the individual not the style..
From what I understand Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw is a different system of Eagle Claw than the one taught by Grandmaster Lau. Fu Leung is the Grandmaster of Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw. His fighting team wins many medals on a regular basis. How well they conform to Eagle Claw when they fight, that I dont know. From what I have seen there are very few people that have the skill to use Kung Fu at it’s highest levels. In my not so humble opinion there are not anywhere near as many Masters as people would like you to think and don’t even get me started on the “Grandmasters”.

Anyone here train this style?.
Is that suppose to be a “southern” eagle claw form? is there even a southern eagle claw?
The eagle claw is nothern. Never heard about southern eagle claw.
Lueng Shum teaches Ying Jow P’ai in NYC. It is Northern Eagle Claw/Fan Tzu.
I recall a “shaolin” eagle claw in Taiwan and Macao that was done with the thumb and first two fingers ( Index and middle), not like the full handed eagle claw of Leung.
But I don’t think it was a southern system.
There is such a thing as Southern Eagle Claw. From HK, developed from Northern Eagle Claw. Yes, I think the claw is more “dragon”
This Lau fat Man forms.
Yeah, the form in the video is northern Faan Tze Ying Jow Pai, as taught by Lau Fat Mang.
there is southern eagle, it’s a Hakka system called golden eagle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usYAEyBC8zI&feature=related
southern eagle
Hi folks,
Golden eagle claw in Taiwan isnt Hakka eagle claw that i know of . HEC is based in TAI PO , NT in HK is more Hung garish with low wide stances & short bridge . The Sifu that i know of in HK are Chan koon wah & his teacher Au si Wing .

The golden eagle boxing looks like a mix of hakka boxing and long fist
that’s the 5 leopards form from Northern Eagle Claw system.

Greetings,
The Southern Eagle Claw posted by BakShaolinEC appears to be form the same family of the form presented in the beginning of this movie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gX1fT1DJkY
The form demonstrated during the opening credits is only half of the form (Wong Tao and Chi Kuan Chun may be deomnstrating the two man form). The complete form and applications was put on video by WTN productions back in the 1980’s. The demonstrator, Woo Tchi Nyu, is a student of Grandmaster Chan Kwok Wai.

Thanks for the replies, I need a copy of this on dvd lol
Greetings diego,
The form represented in the movie is called Seven Styles Eagle Claw. I do not know if the WTN people are still in business. Here is their site:

Diego,
As a northern eagle claw practitioner, I admit I’m biased, so don’t listen if you don’t want to. However, if you’re looking to learn eagle claw style, I would say do yourself a favor and learn northern eagle claw, not southern. Bias aside, it will at least be much easier to find a teacher… Also, though southern (or cinema) might be what you see in the movies, the (good) reputation of eagle claw comes from the northern style.
Good luck, anyway.
Apparently Bruce Lee studied Eagle Claw!
