    Poon Sing wasn't really Lee Koon Hung's sifu. This is somewhat of a misconception. When Sifu joined Poon Dik's school, he might have already passed away but we have been unable to completely verify this. At the time his school was being run mainly by two of his students. Leung Sai and Chow Bing. Poon Sing, I believe did teach there as well but was more busy handling other business matters. LKH got the bulk of his CLF from Leung Sai and Chow Bing. Not saying he didn't learn from Poon Sing as well but he never called him "sifu" only Sing Gor (Brother Sing). In fact they were Gip Bai Hing Dai (blood brothers). LKH also learned from So Kam Fook (his sisuk and younger classmate of Poon Dik) later on in life (in his 30s) and in the early days also learned some from Leung Siu Kuen (the nephew of Leung Kwai, one of Poon Dik's sifus).

    I assumed the third name (Chan Yuen Woo) was the Green Grass Monk, which gave the Fut (Buddha) part of the name.
    Chan Yuen Wu never taught Fut Gar. Back when we all started this on the forum back then, Chan Yuen Wu was said to have taught Hung Kuen. Even the current guy from the Lee Iu Lineage, wrote that it was Hung Kuen. Then our brother from New York CLF states it was "Hung Fut" and not Hung Kuen. Not sure if people just don't know, but even Hung Fut puts Chan Yuen Wu in the picture. but Chan Yuen was the normal alias of Choy Dak Jung, the first of the 5 Hung Mun founders.
