Eagle Claw Kung Fu

One of the southern kung fu styles I would like to learn,
if I had a second youth,
is Long Ying Bak Mei.*
Very powerful style!
-
In 2009 Ι visit Foshan with my students George Divanis and Christos accompanying my eagle claw shifu GM Lily Lau to a trip in south China.
-
In Foshan we met one of Lau Fat Mang's student from the period he taught in the Fochan Chin Woo(1938)
master Chang Huan!
He came in Foshan, from his village nearby, to meet his shifu’s daughter and her students.
-
He came in the hotel we were staying, along with Grandmaster Mai Yu Qiang(Luo Rong Qiang), teacher of Long Yin, Bak Mei Kung Fu.
This style combines two systems: the “dragon” and the “white eyebrow”.
It is a southern Kung Fu style, famous for its fighting techniques and widely practiced in the area of Canton.
-
At that time, at the age of 72, teacher Ma with his characteristic deep voice, doesn’t refuse challenges and he has the fame of a powerful fighter in Foshan.
We saw that for ourselves, as he was recognised and respected by the people we met on the streets.
-
A small demonstration in the reception of the hotel by the two assistants of Mai Yu Qiang, gave us a first impression of the atmosphere in Foshan.
Later we practice and demonstrate along with his students.
-
People of Foshan love Kung Fu and fighting.
Many Kung Fu styles were borned in Foshan.
Wing Chun is one of the most famous.
