New to the forum, hello! Im doing liuhebafa in Hong Kong under the master Kam Tung. We are hearing many fiction about liuhebafa and hope to clean up the story.
Some people say there is the “lineage holder” of liuhebafa system. This is untrue. Many of Chan Yik Yans students confirm this, many people were there the day Choi Wai Lun paid 5,000 Hong Kong Dollars to Chan Yik Yan to get the certificate. Choi studied less than 2 years with CYY! His own classmates and student from that time confirm this story!
I dont want to say the bad things or rumors, just want to fix some lies that are out there!
For more info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liuhe_Bafa (Cliff notes - Six Harmonies Eight Methods, water boxing, Temple Style Tai Chi, or Hua Yu (after the mountain to which it is associated) is a form of internal Chinese martial arts.)
Response posted on behalf of Master Wai Lun Choi:
It has come to my attention that some unknown person(s) have launched a smear campaign against me. It saddens me that those responsible for this think that this in some way will enhance their own standing in the martial community.
Nevertheless, some very absurd claims have been asserted. The one that I will address is in regards to the certificate Grand Master Chen Yik Yan presented to me. When I received this honor I was filled with great joy as well as some tribulation. The joy resulted in that my teacher felt that I deserved such recognition, but I knew from that point on, the weight of the responsibility for the future of the Liu Ho Pa Fa style rest upon me.
If there exists someone else, whom possesses such documentation, he has an obligation to come forth and present himself and take on the responsibility to preserve Chen Yik Yan legacy.
As far as all the other allegations are concern this fathom references are seriously flawed. My accusers proclaim that all living students of Grand Master Chen, has collaborated on these charges, but does not offer a single name. Let me begin by offering three names on my behalf. Kam Tung, Thomas Choi and Mok Kei Fai whom has since refuted all and any statements or connection with these people. Their statements can be found on the internet.
Since rumors of this nature have the ability to grow without substance, I felt it necessary to speak out on my own behalf.
My skills and my time with Grand Master Chen is my own personal treasure. Since there is no actual person or persons to refute, addressing all the other accusations is senseless.
I have been a presence in the martial art world for nearly half a century. Competing and teaching throughout these many years until my recent retirement. I am still available to anyone who wishes to legitimately question my abilities. Let them come forth in an honorable manner.
