Is this the same as Yin Fu? I'll put it under that subtopic if it is.

This system was developed by Fu Chen Sung one of the "five tigers from the north" Fu studied with Gua Fung Ming and Ma Gui. In my opinion it looks like Yin Fu style although Fu was reported to have studied with Cheng Ting Hua as well. Fu developed a family system that includes both internal and external forms as well as a number of weapon sets. He was famous for his Dragon Palm and his Bagua Dadao (taller than he and reported to me by his disciple Lin Chao Jin to have weighed 30 lbs!)

Uh...
Fu style looks like Yin Fu? You're kidding right? Also, I doubt he studied at all with Ma Gui.

Well, it doesn't look like Xie's Pei Chi's style but it looks like other Yin Fu I've seen. You doubt he studied with Ma? On what do you base this doubt?
Take a look at the Fu style Yang Palm changes. With whom do you study Fu style?

Ma Gui never had any students. That's one reason. Second, Fu's style looks nothing like Yin style. Please tell me which Yin style you compare it to. I do not study Fu style but have friends and met with people who have. Some of them study with Bow Sim Mark and others with Johnny Ming Lee. I have never seen any of them do a piercing palm.
Of course this is all my opinion and observation. Still, I highly doubt it. Check with people in China, not people here. Lineage here means shite...it's just for advertising.

Hey Guys;
Thanks for your help. I found out from a reliable source that this discussion is not the same as Yin Fu. The thread sits where it's at.

Actually Ma Gui DID have students but no formal disciples. Certainly Wang Peishing claims to have learned from him. I've read all the same magazines as you but you can't believe everything you read. I studied with (and taught for) Bow Sim Mark and her brother for seven years. I worked very briefly with Lin Chao Jen in San Fransisco. Also with a guy Sifu Mark introduced me to in SF that I only ever knew as Uncle. Lin was Fu's early disciple. Regarding Fu Yonghui's (Wing Fay) style I would say Lin sifu's (and for that matter Garrett Gee's sifu's) style is much more linear (don't think I'd use the word hard) than the more flowing or swimming version shown by descendents of Fu Yonghui. Master Lin's version looks, again only to my eyes, more like Yin Fu style than does Mark Sifu's or Master Fu Yonghui's son. Piercing palm is also a hallmark of the Cheng Tinghua system (see Gao style or Sun Sikun) so that's not much of an example. It's also in the earlier Fu. Look I've only given my opinion take it or leave it. Early Fu style looks to me like Yin Fu. Later Fu (from Yonghui) looks more like the more popular Cheng Tinghua. I'm about done with this subject since it is of no use to anyone. My wife is always haraguing me about "all these Chinese names. No-one cares about them but you and it's boring for everyone else." I don't mind being contraversial or wrong, but boring?-never.

Paul Cromptons walking meditation book says it's
fu style in content. Just fyi for whoever.


   By Buddy on Friday, April 12, 2002 - 09:21 am: Edit Post

Actually what is shown in that book is a simplfied Sun style formed developed by Li Tianji who's father studied with Sun. It is confused as Fu style because Mark Bowsim Sifu calls it the original form and she is in the Fu lineage.

Author begs to differ


   By Bagua Bill on Saturday, April 13, 2002 - 06:54 pm: Edit Post

Wow,there's lots of confusion over which style's what's what,etc.
Can anyone write an chart or graph of the different styles names/info/founder/varieties?
I would like to be aware of the different types and styles out there.

   By Buddy on Monday, April 15, 2002 - 08:29 am: Edit Post

Andrew,
That's right. He's a wing chun guy from SF. His dad studied with Fu and Sun.
Yuen,
The form shown in Crompton's book is the same a one I learned from Bow Sim Mark. She said that Li Tian Ji developed it.
