Doesn't the LKH Fut Jeong form have that? That's what it looked like from Joe's video...

-123

[CLFNole]

No there is a lao yip jeurng (willow leaf palm). No 1 finger stuff in our forms.

[yutyeesam]

I see. The fewest fingers would probably be the 2 used in 'Lok Kiu' in Siu Mui Fah!

(Is that what it's called for that 2 fingered jab?)

[CLFNole]

Actually the 2 finger jab isn't the lok kiu but rather more of a biu gee (shooting finger) the lok kiu itself refers to the twisting of the lead forearm. It twist blocks an opponents hand and follows with a biu gee.

Many people will say lok kiu at that moment thinking its the finger but it is more subtle and actually referring to the arm.

F-ING SWEET!

As for the 1 finger ****e, I've always liked that move, I've seen different people from the Chan Tia San lines use it in their CLF forms

F-ING SWEET!

As for the 1 finger ****e, I've always liked that move, I've seen different people from the Chan Tia San lines use it in their CLF forms

In Chan Tai-San sets, specifically Siu Sahp Jih (which is the form I assume you saw), the technique is done with two-fingers predominantly extended.

CTS never did the one finger Kiu Sao which Hung Ga had popularized. It didn't appear in his village hung stuff either. (which makes perfect sense, since it is not WFH Hung Kuyhn. The technique appears at the begining of the last 1/3 of the form. We refer to it as Haught Kiu or Scraping Bridge, but it is used by just about all CLF and it usually refered to as Lok Kiu (and I agree with CLFNOLE, it's not the fingers, but the action of the bridge).



Personally, I like the HG Kiu Sao, I think it's cool. I love it in the movies and play around with it all the time....it's just not a CLF thing.

I like the video. The music is pretty cool too.

Thanks.
btw - who is this? is it you mano mano?

[CLFNole]

I believe that is Sifu Thoma Fuhr of San Diego, CA. He is one of Chan Yong Fa's students.

[Mano Mano]

Not me I'm afaid its as CLFNole said.
He is good though.
Already made a mental note, got to get myself on youtube.

[Eddie]

actually the more i look at that clip, the more I like it.

anyone has a link for his school?

I see what you mean by LKH CLF being close to Chan Family CLF then

[bigdoing]

www.clfsd.com is the link for his school.
His kung fu is top notch, and his students are good as well.

It was Siu Sahp Jih that I saw performed, I have a vid of it from the Wong Fei Hung but not sure who the perofrmer is/ what school he is from? He was a cool guy though & we hung out a fair bit that day.

And as for the one figer stuff, I agree I just think it looks/feels cool so I play around with it lots when I do my excersises in the morning.
