Hello brothers,

recently I been researching on my Sigungs father Lau Jaam and I translated with the help of a friend in HK (he alone is worth a thread here)
some chinese writings on Lau Jaam (which I got from PM)..

all those will be published on my new homepage (coming up soon)

anyway I wondered what you guys know or heard about him ?
Maybe your sifu/sigung told you something about him..even some small anecdotes could be interesting for me,if u happen to have some scanns,pics,articles etc. would be nice if u shared them...

thanks in advance

It would be interesting to hear more about your Si Tai Gung. I can't offer much but I think I read he had some CLF in his family background maybe.

Good luck in your quest Franky. Keep us posted.


Peace.

Hi Bandit,

thanks bro...yes Lau Jaam had some CLF training before learning from LSW he learned from his Uncle LAU PO SHING (劉保勝) CLF,but not the whole system..


thanks to Pavel , because through him I found ou about Sifu LEUNG HON KWONG 梁漢光,he was a student of Lau Jaam..

Does this name ring a bell ? Anyone ?

I suppose you already have the article in Real Kung Fu Magazine about Leung Hon Kwong then?

in the meanwhile I got in touch with a grand student of LEUNG HON KWONG 梁漢光. Since the passing of grandmaster Leung ,in 2005 ,his son Leung Wai Bill is running the kwoon..on my next HK trip I will visit them.

My sifu often told me that Lau Jaam was very strong and had respect for him. He and some of Chan Hon Chung's other students demoed with Lau Jaam a while back (probably early 60s) and they were amazed at how long Lau Jaam could hold up the lion's head ... He was dancing continuously for a few hours.

Leung Hon Kwong article. PDF file.

There will be many more scanned articles on the website soon. Including some on Lau Kar Leung.

Chun Yat,

thanks for that.This is basicially what I already have in chinese just with less pictures and a little less text. I had this translated in english by a friend in HK. Looking forward to read the articles about my sigung.

thanks a lot

Sensational finding....

well for us anyway...
A week back this guy from Singapore came to see my Sifu and handed him over a book on tit sin kuen,its more like a booklet..
Anyway,this book was from Lau Jaam...see the cover..its similar to the Lam Sai Wing book out of photographs they made drawings...this book is around 50 years old...even my sigung didnt know about this....

I can only imagine how you feel Franky Congrats!

I hope you plan to release it as a PDF or similar for the rest of us to enjoy as well. (I assume the rights expired long ago?)
