The History of Choy Lee Fut - Kung Fu Report - Adam Chan 

is that Sifu Richard Leung who has the school in Thornhill ?

I have the same question , Richmond hill not thornhill .

@@fmadisciple609 Sifu Richard Leung has been retired from teaching for a few years now, but most recently classes were held at "Centre for Martial Arts" in Richmond Hill.

@@nickmichon4917 From what I've heard, my Sigung Jew Leong used to visit Richard Leung, who held my Sigung in High Regard saying he had "WICKED" Choy Lee Fut. Peace from the Hung SIng Kwoon USA in SF.

My first view of Kung Fu was at Sifu Lacey Brothers in Perth Australia early 70s

Sifu Frank😁

I would be interested comin seeing Dragon style. The move where they blurred Bruce's movements my teacher share that is something really in martial arts. To hypnosis their opponet. If was in Dragon style. He showed me a bit of that aspect like. Bruce did with the circular movements and waving a hand up and down opposing the other hand doing the same. I had yet to find a teacher to teach and show Dragon like like my teacher had.

I thought one of the brothers is out in fremont california?

@@mdub2000 Both Vince and Dave have now passed away. Vince left Australia in the 80s and moved to the USA, while Dave remained in Australia. Vince's son Shane is still based in the US I believe.

@@tjl4688 yeah thats right his school was in Fremont California...i went to visit... the guys were really cool👍🏾

@@tjl4688 lacey the twin bro both passed in same year.

nice idea!

I second this!!!

Earthbending!

Do Choy Lee Fut and Hung Gar work well together? They seem pretty similar to me

@@junichiroyamashita Hi Junichiro. First of all, i want to say that i'm not study either choy li fut or hung gar system. So, i think it will be much better if you asked a person that really training in that system. But, i want to help you to answer your question. I just want to say that i'm not a keyboard warrior. Okay, let's get into it. If you look at the history of the choy li fut's founder who is Chan Heung, before he created that style, he learned 3 kungfu styles that is Choy Gar (from Choy Fook), Li Gar (from Li Yau San), and Hung Gar (from his uncle). After Chan Heung learned 3 systems, he created choy li fut system. But, i don't know why he name that system choy li fut, Why not choy li hung instead? That's the point that i don't know. But from historically record you can see that Chan Heung did study the Hung Gar system. For me that's make Choy Li Fut is like mixed martial arts in the early 1800's. So, i think its not strange if you see Hung Gar and Choy Li Fut do have similarities and i think this two systems can work well together. So, that's my answer i hope can help you. Once again i'm not a practitioner in any of these styles, so it will be much better if you ask a person who did training in that styles because there is a huge difference between a person who actually training and only see that training. There is no practitioner in Hung Gar or Choy Li Fut in my country. Thank You. (Sorry for my broken english).

it's Choy Lee Fut. Not Chou Lee Fu. never heard of that style. But i teach choy lee fut. and CLF is world wide. not sure how you're missing that

To this day, I still remember my Sifu swept me with his favorite move and all I could do to grab his arm and held on while my feet was swept up in that air at 11 o'clock (so freaking fast and powerful).

I don’t believe you.

@@axelstone3131 Ahah to bad, I even did some competition with it, nothing fancy only forms. We did some sparring but after a while my Shifu did not teach anymore.

@@cesarebianchi1799 competitions are a waste of time

@@axelstone3131 why?

@@axelstone3131 Your funny. Now go sit in the corner, and let the adults talk amongst themselves.

Did you know Bruce personally? Because Jesse Glover did.

@@AztecUnshaven I didn’t know him personally. I’m relying on pictures of him learning TSD/TKD from jhoon rhee; johoon rhees testimony and me being a tkd black belt and recognizing a tkd skipping side kick when I see one!

not the way you see him demonstrate CLF, but CLF on the streets will leave you flat on your back seeing birdies circle above you, no joke.

Every system has "trapping hands".

Hung Kuen and Choi Lee Fut were both practiced by many gangsters in Hong Kong. They used these styles in real fights. Ip Man Wing Chun was practiced mainly by people who were more educated. There are other branches of Wing Chun being practiced by people in the marketplace which was really used for street fights. Ip Man was never a street fighter. Most of the movie stories of Ip Man were unreal.

Wow I got that book in 77 I was 9 years old tonite out of nowhere the name kept coming into my mind and the pictures in the book the style well it buried itself I'm 53 now I's it a message..

Yeh karate is decended from gung fu

@@axelstone3131 Yes partially.

@@mizukarate actually no the majority of karate is southern Kung fu styles specifically white crane and southern Shaolin fist Kung fu. Watch Jesse enkamps documentary in China.

Simply not just "Okinawan Kung Fu". I watch Jesse and he pushes the idea that Karate has many influences. Anyway all I was saying was Karate has similar moves JS.

it is, won some and lost some against muay thai. for example, my school went to an all muay thai competition to test ourselves against muay thai. my senior student was to fight 2 rounds of muay thai. if it was exciting match, they went for three rounds. my student fought three rounds and was about to win the whole match easily, until he got hit in the liver with a knee. but the judge ended the fight without giving my student a chance to recover. but they knew, we came to fight and almost won in THEIR event.

bruce lee tried to step to Professor Lau Bun, the true Kung Fu patriarch, and founder of the Hung Sing Kwoon in San Francisco. Prof. Lau Bun was an enforcer for the Hop Sing Tong and leading proponent in the Chinese community. Bruce came to the Hung Sing Kwoon and challenged Prof. Lau, who told him "boy, i am an old man now, i will not play with you, i will K*ll you. the 19 year old bruce turned around and left without a word. for a little while. LOL

was the Guy from australia Chan Yong Fa or one of the Lacey brothers?

It was Sifu Chan Yong Fa

but have nothing to do with lama pai at all.

@@hungsingkwoonusa650 I only said they were similar.

how and why?

no. Choy, Lee, HO, Fut, Hung are 5 family. But San Soo just means Fighting Hands. In other words, the fighting hands of Choy, Lee, Ho, Fut and Hung kung fu families.

Go to YMAA or look up Dr. Yang Jwing-ming. Good luck.

Watch out what you you wish for.

@@stefanschleps8758 What are you talking about? I went through the Mcmap and L.I.N.E. training. In the United States Marine Corps. I certainly do not run my mouth to anyone and respect all forms of combat. I have studied several martial arts. I certainly do not hit porous slabs of stone in a park to show that I know how physics work. Its a parlor trick. Does not mean you have any power. You can boast anyone's confidence with slabs of porous stone. Why dont you hit one not made by man? See if you can break it?

@@stefanschleps8758 Maybe try that with a piece of wood. You want to see your confidence drain?

Histrory is always important. "Those that fail to learn from it are doomed to repeat it."

YOU TRAINED WITH LAI HUNG AKA CRAZY HUNG?
