Chow Sifu is a bit short as are most of the TSPK guys for the most part. But don’t let the height fool you these guys like to throw down 
csc used to be a championship full contact fighter correct? there were 5 guys from csc time or before that were full contact fighters right? i remember reading something like that in the mag i think.
I suppose anyone can do monkey, provided they spend time training it. Though I do think some might be a little to big to move like a monkey, which would take away most of the ‘edge’.
Chow Sifu is probably not too small, I think hes about the same hight as CLFNole and Sow Choy, but allot shorter than me.
pics attached are of master chow and me, then the second one is Sow Choy (Joe Keit), Paul Fraga, me again, Master Li Siu Hung, and Giovanni (not sure of his surname). I think CLFNole and Sow choy are probably the same height.
Eddie:
I know we all appear like dwarfs to you but Chow Sifu is shorter than us (me and Joe). Probably by a few inches or so.
hehe, little dwarfs . You guys are little dwarfs with Big Hearts. CLFNole and Sow choy are my two CLF heros.
Anyways, Sifu Chow said to say he knows 2 monkey fists, and monkey staff, and yes he learned it when he was old already.
Someone posted a video on the main forum with a young kid doing a TSPK form, but apparently Sifu Chow doesnt recognise the form.

No. I am merely saying that your ken of TSPK’s family tree is a tad askew, if not a little bit falsified.
[QUOTE=Flying-Monkey;756224]Chan Tai San? The lama pai GM? I already spoke with Lama Pai guys about the few monkey forms that he knew. They even said it was different. GM Chan Tai San was a southern style expert. Where he learned monkey, I don’t know. If it was a different Chan Tai San, who was his teacher? Please don’t say Sitaigung Ken. I already asked if there was a Chan Tai San in the TSPK family and they said no. And please don’t say Master Kau :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
What do you have against Master Kau? As far as I know, there was only one Chan Tai San, and he was a 10th dan of TSPK.

I had no intention of doing so, and never did. I merely stated the truth, that Paulie Zink’s material is part and parcel of CTS’s cirriculum. You might not see it, because you do not yet have discerning eyes. PM me in four years, and I’m sure your eyes will have matured to that kind of level. Until then, spare us the ignorance.
[QUOTE=Flying-Monkey;756224]There are no DANs in TSPK. What the hell are you talking about? If what you do is anything like what Zink does, then you were tricked.[/QUOTE]
Oh no? No Dan’s? Then why was I ordained by TSPK’s best and brightest as 8th Dan of TSPK (which is one of the 2 8th Dan’s I hold in MA)?
[QUOTE=Flying-Monkey;756224]There really aren’t any brunches in this tree. At least, there aren’t any yet. Sigung Chan was the only person Sitaigung taught the monkey style. Sigung then taught his kf brothers. Sigung Chan is the only student of Sitaigung still alive. When his kf brothers died, their students trained with him. The only branches are Sigung Chan’s students, but they teach it basically the way sigung wants them. [/QUOTE]
I’m not legitimizing anything. I’m merely stating a lineage that can be proven (and was, with the video links you were so kind to post for me). I simply believe Paulie Zink was the real deal, unlike some of the bugbears on this site. Believe it or not…

Dude, what you are saying is such bullsh!t, it is not really worth responding to you. Please stop. You know nothing about Kung fu, TSPK or CTS. People who were CTS closest disciples say you are full of it. It is also apparent that you don’t know much about Paulie Zink and his inconsistencies. Even if you watch his old videos from Panther productions, you can easily see his lies.
Okay. I’ll drop the subject. Some people just can’t be talked to.
I don’t know why you are so angry. I just wanted a friendly discussion. From now on, I’ll just avoid delving into my 8th dan of TSPK, or Takeshi Ukeno’s grandmastership of the art.
Who gave you an 8th Dan in TSPKWR?

That’s a good question.
Why do you guys add fuel to this idiots fire. He is just pushing your buttons.

Can’t argue with that I just hope people are not taking what this guy says seriously. He must have a real bad taste in his mouth from all the “sheet” he has been spewing.
[QUOTE=RD’S Alias - 1A;758179]Who gave you an 8th Dan in TSPKWR?[/QUOTE]
The 10th Dan, Grandmaster Sensei Takeshi Ukeno. As far as I know, he’s the only one who has the ability to grant any Dan’s in Tai Shing Pek Kwar. I get the impression, from Coach Ross and Flying Monkey, that Chan Tai San didn’t give out Dan’s in his Americanized system. Cultural differences notwithstanding, our material is nearly identical.
I am sure its exactly alike How about a Youtube clip of Pek Kwar Yee Lo, Sheung Gahn or Lien Wahn Cheung?
Umm, is it just me, or does he think Chan Tai San was a Tai Shing Pekwar Master?
I allways thought Chan Tai San was a Lama master. 
Perhaps to see some Axe Fist, that gets handed out long before any Monkey sets.
Chan Tai San did learn some TSPK but from someone different the Chan Sau Chung. CTS knew a lot of different things as I heard that he travelled around to learn from various masters. He is known for his Lama and CLF. Not sure but I don’t think he learned the TSPK system itself but rather some of its sets. The NYC Lama guys would be able to answer this better as to the extent of his TSPK.
