Interesting website! The interview link didn’t seem to be working, though, so I’ll try back at a later date.

Cama Sifu says thanks. The site is still under construction but new pictures are going up. Check out the weapons and the iron rings 100lbs on Sifu’s arms. Sifu’s articles and interview will be on soon.
Sam
Are there any books or are there any plains to write a book on Fut Sao Buddha Hand Wing Chun Kuen ?
Book
Yes Cama Sifu is in the process of writing a book.
Fire Hawk,
Henry Leung put together a book a while ago that was never published. You can see pictures of Henry, Santo, Richmond, Keither, Rafael, James and others in it. I’ll sell you a copy for 1,000,000 dollars! Just kidding. Watched Austin Powers last night and had a flash back! The history written in the book was almost an exact duplicate of Aou Soy Gee’s book. The rest was Henry’s material/photos/etc..
Regards,
The original book was pictures mostly of Cama Sifu and Richmond. Some of Rafael and Keither. Santo was not there and you would have been in diapers.
Nice (not) to see that Futsao is affected by the same interal bickering. How proud (also not)!
Do yourselves a favor and be a strong, unified force, especially in public.
RR
Rene,
Thanks for the advice but I was not bickering just stating fact. The problem is that people who supposedly are no longer involved with Fut Sao or were not there to know what went down continue to come off as authorities. They even try to tell others about the experience and quality of certain instuctors that they know nothing about. This certain individual listened to the wrong gossip and continues to spread it as fact. The problem is the person he’s speaking of is the real thing and the person he’s propagating is a liar. This of course is a free forum but you still have to be aware that there are consequences to your words. As per proper etiquette he and his instuctors have been told. Remember that “HANDS” always tell. Lineage is useful to tell you the quality of your ancestors not to replace the reality that we practice a “FIGHTING” art.
Hello Rene and Sam,
Unfortunately, every WC art has their inside bickering. I guess it is unavoidable. A question about a Fut Sao book was asked and and neutral reply was made. Nobody was promoted and nobody was put down. Also, nobody was claiming to be an authority. Dont see what was so bad about that answer. I have ZERO interest in Henry’s WC but the question was:
Are there any books or plans to for a book on Fut Sao?
I gave an answer and nothing more. I should have known it wasnt worth it.
Oh well, such is life. Fire Hawk! E-mail me and I will speak with you about getting you a copy!
Ciao,
Mr. Roselando,
You say you have ZERO interest in Henry’s wc yet whenever there is a question about Buddha Hand there you are. The remarks you once made on the internet and your subsequent private email are not forgotten. I thought you represent a P… Wing Chun style or is it Roger Hagood’s Southern Mantis. Oh thats right your also an expert on how much Southern Mantis training others have gotten. One of your Sifu’s was chased across Chinatown and backed down from his big mouth lies in front of the Grand Master and was subsequently thrown out of the system. Your other Sifu was talked to on the phone and denied being your teacher. Are you going to continue the deceit or will you keep your business where it belongs?
Gee- is the moon aligned in a strange position for the last week or so.? Atleast three different verbal/personal skirmishes on the forum. Isnt our quota met already.?
oh come on…
Joy,
Actually, I think it’s “keep the moderator busy” week. :rolleyes:
Sam and Jim,
Just drop it guys. Or, per my repeated suggestion, have it out via email.
Sandman,
I agree with you. Lets let this old topic drop and we can all believe what we want about each other/move on. Life is too short to get stressed out over old issues. As long as we are happy with what we are doing that should be the most important thing.
Take care Sandman and Sam!
Regards,
Sandman and Jim Roselando,
Sounds good to me as long as we’re men of our word.
Sam, Jim, Sandman- that’s great.
Joy
Hsu Yun
Just very suprise to see DM Hsu Yun’s as the ancestor of this system.
There is a book about the life of Hsu Yun.
Who is Hsu Yun… Will this sage of Chan who dedicated his life equally to all living beings teaches martial art?
Will mother Teresa teaches martial art?
Hello Hendric, Did Kung Fu not come out of Shaolin. Were the priests not religous Buddhists. It has been documented that the venerable Hsu Yun taught chinese yoga breathing and exercises. The famous story of the master tossing or lifting the boulder proves his internal mastery.
Hello Hendric, Did Kung Fu not come out of Shaolin
Hi, Sam
Some kungfu do and some don’t.
Were the priests not religous Buddhists.
How can buddhist monks not religous Buddhists?
Are you imply that Hsu Yun who is a patraich of Chan not a religous Buddhist?
It has been documented that the venerable Hsu Yun taught chinese yoga breathing and exercises.
it will be interested to know about this documentation.
I have never aware of HSu Yun taught Chinese Yoga breathing.
Even I have met a few of Hsu Yun’s direct students and read thier books. furthermore,
Hai Deng of Shao Lin who at one time work under Hsu Yun at one temple also didn’t mention Hsu Yun teaching Chinese Yoga breathing exercises.
Beside where and When did Hsu Yun learn Wing Chun?
If I am not wrong.
Hsu Yun wrote an article about “skin bag” meaning one should let go of the “skin bag” or body, to convert people who attached to cultivate thier body. So, Hsu Yun’s teaching is about let go of the body.
The famous story of the master tossing or lifting the boulder proves his internal mastery.
Hsu Yun was known in Buddhism as the reincanation of the Eight Ground Boddhisatva.
Hsu Yun’s teaching is core with Surangama sutra.
Surangama sutra teaches to have not a single thought of killing or hurting in order cleansing oneself before entering into samadhi. Otherwise, one will get into the demon state.
So, for Hsu Yun to teach martial art is a no no.
Sam, I might be wrong you might be right. But, we need the document.
As for what kind of Buddhist monk Hsu Yun was?
He was asked to escort the last empress of Qing and emperor Kuang Xui while the royal family fleet when the western’s attack beijing.
He meditated and enter into samadhi for days in Thailand and was recognized by the Thai King. Those were all recorded in history.
How was this Hsu Yun related to your’s Hsu Yun? No mean to against you but just for discussion.
