Eagle Claw: Beginner Forms (Mui Far Kuen, Lohon Kuen)

[ukguy]

may I ask why if these are northern style forms then why are they written in a Cantonese way not a Mandarin way which would be Mei Hua Quan ( plum blossom fist) and Lohan Quan? almost no one in northern China speaks Cantonese.

@ukguy

oh yes, you´re welcome!!!

All the last Eagle Claw sifus lived and taught in South China/Hong Kong; e.g. Lau Fat Mang, Ng Wai Nung

(my Grandmaster), also the contemporary generations have their roots in Hong Kong, e.g. Lily Lau, Gini Lau, Leung Shum, Ng Kwan Bok.

The Eagle Claw tradition in Mainland-China is not very alive; no public schools teaching traditional Eagle Claw.

So the world-wide Eagle Claw-nomenclature is in Cantonese.

@EKOkoeln Ok, thanks for your reply. nice to see trad eagle claw and not just modern stuff!

This is the same eagle claw style that comes from Masters Lau Fat Meng, and Leung Shum isn't it? Known as Fan Zi Ying Jow right?

@JarredD798HungMan1

You´re absolutely right.

Sifu Leung Shum (New York) and Sifu Ng Kwan Bok (Hong Kong) are kung fu brothers.

pretty cool!

have u guyz ever seen the long fist forms called yi lu mai fu and er lu mai fu? do you think there're moves which are typical of eagle style? or it's just regular northern fist..?

[arshia2008]

Is this southern?

[EKOkoeln]

Eagle Claw is a typical northern style.

There are many Ng family schools in the US.

[arshia2008]

Thanks, the reason I was asking because it looked very southern.

Very similar to Choy Lay Fut.

@EKOkoeln its told there are southern eagle claw schools as well but that style is very seldom
