The footage wasn’t sped up anywhere.
It’s choppy because the footage was transfered from NTSC to PAL off a video tape that’s been re-used for several years. That’s just the way it looked when the transferal was complete and I’m no pro in video editing so I did what I could with it.
Which parts in the clip are you refering to when you say it looks like Hop Gar, or Lama?
applications, and form. technique execution as well. it doesnt lok like most CLF ive seen, even the way you guys sow choy reminds me of the way we sien choy, etc.
the constant forward attack as well. the footwork, etc. etc.
this is true-when I asked Hop-Ga Sifu David Rogers about how Hop-Ga is played, he said “watch your friend who does Buk Sing CLF”
There are whole sections in the Hop-Ga forms that are almost identical to some sections in BSCLF. Footwork angles, chasing, etc
I had heard mention that Wong Yun-Lum had a major influence on CLF. It stands to reason. He had a major influence on Hung-Ga as well.
Did Tarm-Sam study any other systems besides CLF?
Tam Sam started in Hung Gar then refined his CLF through challenge matches and discussions with various masters/practitioners. He was quite active in pursuing gung fu and analysing what and how others used their goods.
It is not unreasonable to assume a Hop Gar master(s)/practitioners were part of the curve. Bak Hsing flows much differently then the other CLF families.

at the 16 second mark he does crown block hook hand and kick the groin…seen this in Shane Lacey’s BS DVD…how much northern influence is in BS CLF compared to other fam’?
Certainly a lot of cross training back in the day in China (at least among those who wanted to be the best fighters they could be). And if you believe the stories, after Wong Yan Lam’s fights a lot of people cross trained Lama/Si Ji Hao.
You have “Do Pai” which is a cross between Choy Lay Fut and Lama already you know
