A LOOK AT CHAN HEUNG CHOY LEE FUT FOUNDER

Note: this is a training video, not an instructional one.
The Hung Sing Choy Lee Fut system (original name: Hung Sing Fut Gar) is a Chinese martial art for traditional kung fu combat training. This is not one of your run of the mill schools of kung fu. Our system has been tried and test since it’s inception in 1851, all the way down to current times. In the old days, our system was used on the battle field in life and death combat during the many “revolutions” that took place in China between 1851-1949.
Our elders have fought Western boxers, Muay Thai, rival kung fu factions, bandits, rogue government soldiers, defended their country against the invading Japanese, and even aided in the overthrowing of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. Today, we are continuing our combative path by entering Sanda/Sanshou competitions and the like. However, it is not our goal to become sport fighters. It is our goal to always maintain the efficiency and longevity of our style, lineage, and integrity.
Titles, money, fame are only for those actively searching for that. WE, are just your average people who want to know how to effectively use kung fu as it was intended, protection of ourselves, our friends and our family. Note: we are never trying to impress anyone or looking for others approval in what we do. What we do is for US, By Us. Still, we do appreciate the kind words you may have for us and our training. Train hard, fight hard. Great Victory is IN THE HOUSE.

Choy Lee Fut was my first Kung Fu practice under Sifu Buck Sam Kong. My honor to them.

may your former sifu rest in peace. did you know he recently passed away?

Is the way "Heung" is pronounced representative of how you all pronounce it? I always heard it pronounced pretty differently. It was closer to "Heh ung" and if I really went for it, it would be something like "Heh(r)un(g)" with a soft r and g... To be clear, I'm not aiming to be insulting, nor am I interested in being "right"-- just more interested in how things change as language meets different dialects and accents over time, and how different groups may pronounce something like that differently

The voice was ai. Can't help how he pronounced the surname

[@TreyYork1]

@@hungsingkwoonusa650 That's absolutely fair! Still, I now really want to hear if how you say it is similar to how we pronounced it! Is it safe to believe the AI is different than how you would say it? I'm a little curious about the advantages of using AI like that as well... I imagine you probably have a very neutral U.S. Midwest accent. It's funny how we can each perceive these things, because CLF nerds can be bonkers didactic about basically anything(guilty, but trying to grow as a person)! 😆 Even knowing how y'all say it, it's just a tiny piece. I am pretty certain that we could come up with how Cantonese speakers from King Mui said that Surname(and that might be different than the folks in Hong Kong and San Francisco said it.) Then again, what does it matter other than curiosity? I really appreciate and enjoy your videos! They remind me of who I was decades ago, and what I *love* about CLF and TCMA-- the comments sometimes remind me of what is embarrassing about it, and why I'm glad is in the past. I love to imagine what CLF would have looked like if Chan Heung had all the advantages that we have, instant communication world wide, post UFC, excellent padding and synthetic weapons for sparring!! I really believe quality research can help us clarify what may or not have been lost, misunderstood, or even forgotten-- I reckon if the time, money, and effort are found to do that work, you'd be pretty good at sharing those truths with your skill for content production and editing

@@TreyYork1 I've been doing Choy Lee Fut for over 40 years. I know how to say his name. LMAO. I have a hood accent because I grew Up in the hood and on the streets. I've also grown up in the Chinese Community. So, i know the accents well . Chan (Her-ung). I've spent a good chunk of my life researching Choy Lee Fut history and reaching out to elders to gain whatever information i can. I will tell you this, CLF history is rough terrain. Lots of mistruths. lots misleading pieces of information. lots of political bs. in fact, one very high up master of the buk sing lineage who is passed on now, said that Chan Heung never even knew kung fu until Cheung Hung Sing. That Chan Heung was more like a scholar. The only thing he taught Cheung Hung Sing was calligraphy. But much of that was agreed upon not to be brought up again. but later generations dug it up and put it out there. another thing is this, Chan Heung's birthday. Chan family members claim it was in 1806. however, the encyclopedia of guandong has him listed as born in 1814. Some chan fam writings even stated that he was a certain age in 1848 and when you back tracked, it actually placed his year in 1814. Another issue is what did chan yuen wu teach? first they said it was Hung Kuen. then because of huge forum debate i was part of, they changed it to Fut Gar. But now, they claim it was Hung Fut. so which one is it? see, history of CLF is my thing.
