WFH went around “goosing” people, NOT hitting them with a goose! He was a noted practical joker!:eek:[/QUOTE]
Sorry dude, that isn’t as cool, but it does explain the yee gee kim yueng ma stance, LOL !
so, quick review. The ten tigers and their styles were:
Disputes?
There are apparently 3 sets of 5 elders as well.
set one: (the kung fu five elders)
set two: (the shaolin survivor 5 elders- the original hung mun “Fan Ching Fuk Ming” - “Overthrow the Ching, Restore the Ming”)
set three: (the five family elders)
Set three is likely most familiar to all us southern style kung fu guys.
1=patriarch of Hung Gar according to legend
2=patriarch of Lau Gar
3-patriarch of Choy Li Fut
4= Patriarch of Choy li Fut
5= Patriarch of Mok Gar
Ok, disputes?
still bored? 
That’s awesome, pointless and unverifiable, but awesome.
Tam Jai Gwun, or Three Legged Tam was known for kicking techniques. Supposedly giving us the Mo Ying Geuk, Fu Mei Geuk, and either Lung Mei Geuk, or Dink Geuk.
Where did you hear Chow Tai doing bagua? One of the reasons I was checking out this thread was my curiosity of the Bagua/Hung-Ga connection. There is a movement that repeats in every pillar form, which is exactly like single palm change (Wild goose (there it is again-goose!) leaves the flock (what the flock?)
I know Bagua is a Northern system, but Lion’s Roar isn’t wholy Southern either.
Anyway, if Chow Tai indeed practiced BaGua, it would make sense. If he was a purely fictional character…well, I will continue the myth…Hey, if Wing Chun guys can tell their Ng Mui story…
Chow Tai was known for his “Soul Chasing Staff” never heard of the baat gwa. A descedent of his has posted on one of the forums and he had learned buk sing CLF so don’t know if Chow Tai had connections with Tam Sam or not.
Also I believe So Chan (So Haat Yee) was also hung kuen just he got drunk a lot and was made famous by Yuen Siu Tien in many drunken movies.
[QUOTE=TenTigers;793197]they say Wong Fei-Hung was well known for his use of the flying thallium. It might be a misprint.Perhaps he was well known for flying on valium.[/QUOTE]
All right don’t forget that was the time of Opium and even the Iron man died of overdose as the legend goes. Who knows what kind of illusions one has when you are doped.

Wild Goose Leaves the Flock is also the name of a movement used in a few Northern Praying Mantis forms. I think it is probably a generic Chinese quan pu element.
we can’t forget: dayan qigong
(wild goose)

Thank you. My next song is about subtraction.
Take it away…
I don’t know any goose name techniques, but
I took a class on Chinese poetry once and I know that the lone goose (i.e. that ‘left the flock’) was a common image in poems of loneliness/alienation/banishment. Which were a common theme too. Very romantic.
