I was just wondering since Tam Sam left his sifu due to unforeseen events, then how many sets are actually in Buk Sing CLF? I realize that especially since it got emphasis on fighting rather then sets.
Thanks!
Tarm Sarm, to my knowledge only taught 3 empty hand forms and no weapons.
He was a fighter and was more concerned with haveing letthal hand and foot techniques.
I got this info from www.buksing.com . The main ‘Forms’ (Kuens) in the Buk Sing branch of Choy Lay Fut are ‘Sub Tse (Sup Ji) Kuen’, ‘Ping Kuen’, ‘Kou Da’, and the staff form, ‘Seung Garb Darn Tou Gwun’.
Fear not the man who has learned one thousand kicks, fear the man who has practiced one kick a thousand times.
Thanks!
It’s really kind of interesting perspective on CLF to know a style that’s more emphasised on fighting…kinda neat.
It all depends on the lineage of Bak Hsing CLF. Some lineages incorporate some or all of the Bak Sui Lum forms.

really?
if it incorporate so much of the Buk Sui Lum forms then wouldn’t CLF aspect of the system be really diluted?
Thanks for the info!
Remember Iron that CLF is a mixture of 2 family styles (Choy and Li). Northern kicks and southern fists. Im sure that the northern part of the art resembles Northern shaolin in alot of ways.

No, no dilution. At least no more so than what each generation might effect..

True Enough
…and in a way it would make Buk Sing CLF even more of a unique and different system
