Jamming …… CKF style.
January 9, 2008
Right!
And before anyone start thinking that each time I meet up with the various Sifus from other styles, it always a straight-faced, clinical and dry technical interaction; I just want to say that we have our decent share of “fun”.
From discussing some of the hot online internet CKF topics where, sometimes, all sorts of screwball views are expounded to latest trends in KF movies etc, we also mess around with all sorts of improvisations, for want of a better description…
So there was this one time some months back, I was in Kuala Lumpur and sitting around talking to Sifu Tony Yap (Yip Kin WCK) and Sifu Ku Choi Wah (Ban Chung WCK”); first half of the session was all “hardcore” classical CKF.
History, forms, principles, techniques, poems and applications ….. You know, all that jazz….
Then after a short break, we got into a free style “jam” session. Everybody doing a little unrehearsed performance composed of techniques taken from various styles.
Sifu Ku Choy Wah outdid everyone with his special blend of WCK, Tai Chi, Pak Kua and Hsing I.
Now for the very first time, a sneak preview of this “lost” form …….
And of course we spoke about composing a Wing Chun/White Crane form together …..a little reverse engineering, if you like….
WuZu 5 Ancestors.

A good view of Lohan, White Crane and TaiZu all done in one breath…WuZu Quan.
These last couple of years, I was privileged enough to work with some very skilled high-hands hailing from this style and I gotta to tell you that the depth is simply amazing.
To do any one of the 5 embedded styles is a tall enough order.
What is even more remarkable is the seamless flow from one to the next; the inventor must have been very talented indeed!
In the clip, you’ll see Lohan, White Crane and TaiZu all noticeably demonstrated and like I said, in one smooth delivery.
Love it!
