lam sai wing

can someone answer if lam sai wing originally learned choy lee fut before learning hung ga?

i was told by a hung ga stylist last night from l.a. that lam sai wing did learn clf before hung ga.

The Butcher of Canton studying Choy Li Fut???

I’ve never heard that. Course, I’ve never heard a lot of things and quite a few things I’ve heard I heard wrong :smiley:

lam sai wing

yeah,

i heard that he learned clf before going on to hung ga? usually it is the other way around.

but maybe it’s worth checking out?

well, his life as a kung fu man is fairly well documented. he even wrote a few books on the style of Hung Gar with dissertations on a few of the sets.

you may find some answers via wle.com.

say, have you ever heard of Leo Fong?

kung lek

yes,

i have heard of leo fong, he was a short time student of professor lau bun of our hung sing kwoon.

i know he has a book out on our cheung kuen. but it looks nothing like the we do it. it did actually have a lot of karate appeal to it.

if i tried to follow his set from the book i would be lost, but i would not like to disrepect my si bak.

Lam Sai Wing Manual

I practice Hung Kuen or Hoong Jia Boxing, I am very interested in purchasing a Lam Sai Wing training manual for historys sake.

I was wondering whether or not any of you may be able to tell me where I could buy this, if possible. Specifically, I would like to purchase the Tiger and Crane double appearance set or Fu-Hok Seung Ying Kuen manual.

All help and advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

check out sifu donald hamby’s website, i think it is kwandoman.com (sp)? i think he has what your looking for.

29

Cheers

thanks, I’m just about to check it

30

..but it doesn’t work, probably the spelling. D’oh.

Thanks anyway

31

Try quandoman.com. I think he spells it this way. Hope this helps!

32

You can always purchase it here:
http://www.wle.com//products/b078.html

That would be the original Chinese version written by Chu Yu Tsai.

Don Hamby’s version is an English Translation of the later chinese version written by Leung Daat (circa late 1990s) Still a nice thing to have in your collection.

eBay

34

I’d just like to thank all of the people that replied to me and gave me links. Many thanks.

WLE is in USA so I have to pay 4 times as much to buy the manual (it’d only usually cost me £6 here in the UK, but with shipping being $35 (!!), it’d rake the cost up to £24, which is a bit steep).

I might check eBay, MonkeyBoy. Cheers.

Thanks again everyone, peace.

Hi mate

Where do you practice Hung Gar in Uk?

PM me your e-mail address and I might be able to help you with finding a manual in the UK.

Or if you want english translations including the full notes from Lam Sai Wing (transalted by Alexander Popov) - you can get them as ebooks from kungfulibrary.com:

http://www.kungfulibrary.com/hunggar.htm

NB: they can be bit hard to follow (translation not so easy to read) but are the closest english versions to the “canonical” books

37

Thanks Mok, I’m a regular visitor to that site and my kungfu brother has bought a Tid Sien Kuen e-book from there.

Its a good site.

P.s. Phoenix eye, did you get my PM?

If so, reply.

Stay cool people

Lam Sai Wing Books

Anyone know where I can get my hands on the Lam Sai Wing books with PHOTOS, not illustrations?

Thanks

well…

  • FHSYK, only one photo i know of survived WWII

  • TSK - i have seen dozen of photos, and a complete old book with photos in 1999 in Hongkong, owned by some elderly gentleman. never see it since

  • GJFFK - Alexander Tse sifu is selling a photocopy of his original copy -http://www.stmkfa.co.uk/styles/master-alexander-tse-wing-ming/

I have a copy of the GGFFK book with photos, but I am not allowed to distribute it. I know that my former Hung Sifu had one of FHSYK with photos as well as notes from our Sigung in it. He loaned it to a friend 25 years ago or so and never was able to recover it from what I was told.
