Hung Gar Panther Set Ha Say Fu Style

Abbreviated version of this set for a demo at the very kind Woo Sifu's birthday celebration back in 14'. I hope Christopher J Crogan doesn't mind that I grabbed my demo off his page. Credit to him of course because he was the one nice enough to post it for me.

“Ha say Fu is not actually the style name however, it is a facilitation of the meaning for modern use. H.S.F., or Lower Four Counties, refers to a region in the Fujian province located south of the capitol city of Fuzhou. It also includes Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Yong’an. It was the martial arts practiced in this region and is simply known as Hung Kuen.”

This Ha Say fu Book is really an important milestone. I had been begging my Sifu to allow me to release photos and/OR videos (old 8mm film stock) of himself learning this style in Hong Kong way back in the 1960’s. He’s always been very modest about it. In a way I understand, perhaps I would not want videos put out of myself just starting out in a style. Or he had other reasons, nonetheless it doesn’t invalidate the style.

In the past since Si Gung Leung Wah Chew was secretive and didn’t explain much history to the young man (Sifu Lam) that was learning from him. It’s been a hard pill for me(a student of Sifu Lam) to swallow… to keep quiet whilst so many A-holes have accused Wing Lam of making this style up.

Sifu has always been so humble and didn’t care, but all of that is explained in this book. He goes into the details of his fortunate circumstance to learn. Plus, to top it all off… the actual training photos that I have been asking for so long. Finally, I thumb my nose to all those nay-sayers. Call me bitter or vengeful, but they deserve it and they know who they are.
