thank you, this is very helpful.

Does anyone know of any existing translations of these two books, YI-JIN-JING and XI-SUI-JING. I know they where originally books and are (by legend) where all Asian martial arts where influenced by. I was just wondering for an extra reference.

Oh and how to change my style from my old style to my current one?

Yang Jwing-ming has translations of both out.

The only thing, in my experience, that will help you with this is to train, train, train. Your muscles have developed certain memory attributes that are tied into the movement that you learned from your previous martial arts training. In order to alter this, you'll need to focus hard on the basics and practice them alot and often so that your muscles learn how to move differently and retain that within their "memory". There really is no shortcut but diligent effort and consistent practice.

Good luck in you training!

LOL. No Im sorry I ment how do I change what the forum has my style as being. I know practice it's the only way to learn. Sorry for the misunderstanding. But thats still funny.

HA! Sorry about that. oops.

So Chan Family Choy Lei Fut is an amalgamation of two Southern Shaolin and one Northern Shaolin Styles?! Well I have always wanted to learn Shaolin! Its nice to know this is closer than I have ever come before!

“	Originally Posted By: Green_Horn Oh, Ive already decided that I'm going to be trying this out. 6 months to a year from now should tell me if Im going to stick with it. You know answer the questions if I enjoy it or not and if the army gives me enough time and all (which with this NCO and schedual there is no excuse). I just want to know everything I can about it.	”

After what I've read about CLF, the somewhat reasonable prices, the very accomadating Sifu and the small classs sizes I think I will be sticking with this until oh say the time I leave Ft. Gordon at the very least.

Slight correction, all CLF descends from the three teachers who taught the founder Chan Heung- two southern and one northern- that is not only specific to Chan family CLF.

Oooppppsss I hadnt finished reading everything I had opened when I originally wrote that post. Forgive me got a little excited.

From what I've been reading today, and a little bit of critical thinking, the styles that CLF where dirived from where, Fut Gar, Li Gar and Fut Gar. Thoough Fut Gar is the only one Im truly certain of. Most of the sources I have looked up say that he was taught Fut Gar and Li Family Style (which I thought maybe the same style as Li Gar but am not certain), and only one source suggested Choy Gar as the style taught by Choy Fook.
