Master Chan Pui’s style is Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu. He’s responsible for bringing the style to the U.S. and spreading the teachings.
I don’t know the other gentleman, but I’m will to wager that there’s more to him than what was on the discover channel, and it would be an even match.

Surrender yourself to nature and be all that you are.
have to agree…and while i don’t know a whole lot about Chan Poi, but Pan Qing Fu…wasn’t he employed by goverment agencies to take out gangs? this cat has YEARS of not only training, but USING his training to WHOOP A$$ in very real life threating situations, and has come out on top, obviously, cuz he’s still alive…if anyone knows how to effectively take someone out, he would.
What’s going on?
Pan Qing Fu is one of my Fav’s.
Let’s look for colorful analogy…
hmm…
Rolls is to Pan Qing Fu
as dishwater is to Bacardi Spice
…
Master Pan is the 6th deadly Venom
Is for Real
…
…light bulb…
Rolls…would you like to challenge MasterPan?
He’s not too far from you.

This is so ridiculous. Unless any of you have seen either one fight to make a guess as to who would win a fight is foolish.
Someone sees a picture of P. Chan on the plum flower posts and figures he must be an expert fighter on those. Others see Master Pan beat his hands on the metal plate and have heard the stories of his so-called gang-busting days.
Unless someone has actually seen either of the two engage in an actual fight than you cannot make a decision. You may see them show forms but for all those out there who don’t already know this forms and real fighting are not the same.
I would guess Pan Ching due to the simple fact the Chinese Government contracted him to teach his martial arts and to bring down some of the most notorious Triad members in the early 1900’s.
“Don’t worry…it’s only a broken arm”
Master Pan creating his own English lesson in “Iron and Silk”

Let’s see he’s about 70-80yrs old right now. that would put him in the early 40’s to 50’s, ok maybe mid 1900’s. Sorry I meant 1900’s as in 1940’s,1950’s, exct…
Ha! If you guys could see ralek getting puched in the face by “iron fist Pan” what would you give? Anyways I think they are both pretty old and have probally “retired” from fighting, in the younger days I might put my money on Pan though, based on reputation he is better known as the fighting type
But Pan Qing Fu is one of the nost recognized figures in Chinese martial arts. He has studies somewhere in the realm of seventeen systems, and was hired by the Chinese Government to combat the notorious gangs of China. He has been fighitng since he was 5 or six years old just to survive on the streets, often taking on fully grown adults to establish the “pecking order” on those same streets.
As far as Ralek goes. Have at him. He is I believe in Vancouver now? Anyone back me up on his location? He shouldnt be hard to find. You go find him and make sure that you have your insurance paid up. I know his is. Really. Im not syaing you cant take him… :rolleyes:
Pui Chan is a friend of my Sifu. Both his master and my own Sigung were very very close. My Sigung was too one of the great fighters of his time and has had doccumented encounters with some of the biggest badasses of the time where he came out not only on top, but where he killed some of them.
In the 1920s and beyond, up until his death Sigungs name was associated with phenomenal kungfu ability.
Anyone who can be aknowledged as a lineage holder by someone that my Sigung considered a peer… He has my vote as being one formidible individual.
So again I cant speculate on either, but Ill say that its six of one half a dozen of the other.
Go and take him on too Ralek.
Maybe you can get them both?
i know and use to compete against 3 poi chan students. two of them in the black belt division. i know about the type of fighting they do, and its mostly just form.
i know only one guy who did pan ching, and if the class is the way he describes it, my guess is right.
but when i chose it, i’m not serious i was really just being funny anyway.
Ralek: Master Pan is in Ontario, Canada near Toronto. Why don’t you take a holiday on a long weekend? Just make sure you have lots of health insurance.
Master Pan used to tell a lot of stories how he made believers out of the Beijing cops. (They were big guys and he wasn’t so). One guy he let him wear 3 or 4 chest protectors before he hit him in the chest. Of course you know the result.
I think this thing must be just some publicity gimmick? I can’t get discover.
What’s the story?
Anybody have any www on Chan Poi?

My 1st Mantis Sifu Arthur D’Agostino, a former long time student of Chan’s related the following to us.
When Master Chan was teaching kung fu in the early 70’s he would get challanged at his school every once in a while. He accepted all challenges but the challenger had to jump out the window of the building after Master Chan in order to qualify as a top quality fighter.
At least 1 person who followed and broke his leg on landing.
When giving demonstrations he would often show his Lightness Gung. Maybe jumping off a ladder onto someones chest or standing with 1 leg on a music stand.
But I’ve heard that many MA masters from the old school regard him to be most knowledgable in his weapons fighting.
About the plum blossom pole:
Arthur’s school had 5 stuck solidly in the ground, about knee height, thick as a telephone pole. Ever try and spar up there? It is a bit frightining.
Then I went to Master Chan’s school. I think he used 4*4s, a little thicker than a fist and as tall as a person. They shook and wobbled when I tried to walk on them. Very hard to keep balance. Well Master Chan practiced up there.
Later a student fell onto one of the poles and got seriusly injured.
I imagine that falling on one of those poles could be deadly.
