Fu-Pow:

I am sure this isn’t something you already don’t know but in say 5 years when you look back on this clip you’ll be thinking, “wow I have come along way”. What I mean, with any form (especially the more advanced ones) it takes a number of learns to really feel and understand it.

For example, I learned hok ying kuen around 1997 and used to perform it often. I looked at like a year or so ago and said to myself “what was I thinking”. Yeah it was fast and the stances were pretty good but it didn’t have the feel required for the set. After practicing the form for 8 years many little things became apparent and the form has new meaning to me now.

This is what kung fu is all about. Don’t let anyone get you down. We all need to keep working hard so that our art can continue on.

Props for putting up the clip to begin with.

That’s kind of where I’m at with this form. I’m not sure that I quite “get it.” I mean I can execute the moves correctly and in the right sequence but what is this form all about? What is its purpose in the grand scheme of Choy Lay Fut? I think that part of it is that it is training you to do a lot of the techniques that you learned in earlier sets on the opposite side, with the other hand. Anyways, thanks for the feedback.

fu pow, i have a clip on dvd when he was in singapore performing on stage.

if you pm me how and where to post a clip maybe i could put it up.

i also have a good clip of poon sing and his powerful ass hands, at his old ass age.

on this dvd is chui kwang yuen, dave lacey and his students, lee siu hung, mak kin fai, fut san hsk, leo chu, and a few other well known sifu’s.

Frank, I’ve seen that tape before. It would be a good thing to post because you can see the variety of Choy Lay Fut. Basically, you need to convert the DVD which is in MPEG-2 compressed format into a streaming file like Quicktime or Windows Media. Also, you wouldn’t want to do the whole thing because if I recall its many hours long. If you’re not sure how to do it, if you can burn me a copy of the DVD I could do it at home, edit it down and post it on the web.
