Chen’s style is typical Cantonese Wu Dip Doe...

The knives form in the clip is from Pan Nam’s Wing Chun.

In fact you can get video of the Pan Nam’s form featuring the late Pan Nam’s son, Pan Shu Xiong performing this form.

The connection...

“Some similar sequences of movement to ours. Allot of differences also. That one seems more "flashy" than ours.”


This seems to be the trend.

Here in Asia, we get hundreds of different TCMAs...

Hi Lau,

I would look to opening salutation moves for clues.

Li or Lee is really quite a generic family name among the Chinese of different dialects. Compounded by the fact that you got Hakka Li...

Yes I do have McCarthy’s Babulien clip.

In fact, I have 7 different versions of this form done by various groups; White Crane and Karate. One feature a very old Fuzhou Master...

First is Fuzhou MingHe Babulien or 8 Linked Steps. This is the “old” version done mostly by the Singapore Fuzhou MingHe group. Incidentally, this is the same...

Thanks.

Since the name “Ruan Dong” has been mentioned frequently in this forum, thought it might be appropriate to post a little something by him.

This is a truncated clip showing the opening movements...

Going by anecdotes, names and resemblance in forms might not be exact.

I knew Sebastian when he was teaching in Stevens Road Y. And later when he started his Clementi class, I visited a few...

Okay that’s it.

I am going to contact Sifu Ling and ask for his side of the story.

I hope to be accepted as Sifu Chen’s disciple and that would make Sifu Ling my kung fu uncle.

This is really the situation....

Hi,

Decided a while back not to be involved in this thread but after reading Hualong’s post, I am back.
