Talk:Fujian White Crane

message: Fujian White Crane is a martial art style commonly placed in the 'category' Kung Fu. Today, there is a Fujian White Crane Kung Fu school thriving in Europe (namely the United Kingdom and Sweden) and growing under the instruction of a number of Instructors and Assistant Instructors. The head of this school is Mr Ngo Kah Swee, affectionately known as 'Dennis' to his students. The style that is taught is a mixture of both 'Tiger' and 'Crane' kung-fu styles, and was formerly known as Tiger-Crane Combination. The club has strong links with China, as the Chief Instructor Mr Ngo Kaw Swee has been officially commissioned by the Fujian Yongchun YiYun Wushu Society (China) to help with research into the history of the White Crane style.
Fujian White Crane Kung Fu is accepted as original and from the same lineage by Yongchun White Crane Wushu (China). It may be noticed that Yongchun is the area from which the name for the style 'Wing Chun' has been derived, although the two styles should not be confused or linked to one another directly.

message: Thank You.  Now, with that being said, This page should definitely change the written Chinese Characters in the margin on the right side, to 永春白鶴拳 (Wing Chun Baak Hok Kyun- wing chun white crane). The current one says 詠春拳 (Wing Chun Kyun- Wing Chun Fist) which are the 2 totally different styles that were just mentioned. Therefore, it needs a more proper translation into Chinese. This, to me, was a pretty big mistake, and I think it really needs to be changed.

thread_title:  Name Accuracy and Chinese Character Distinctions 

message: From what I have learnt personally in the White Crane martial arts, Kung Fu and Suang Yang (T'ai Chi), there are five distinct branches of Crane, not four, which I know as: Sleeping Crane, Calling Crane (Crying Crane), Feeding Crane (Eating Crane), Jumping Crane (Flying Crane) and, the missing one, Shaking Crane.  I think Jumping Crane is another name for Flying Crane, not Sleeping Crane (which specialises in drunken-like movements).

message: I am a little concerned about the use of www.fwckungfu.com as an external link, since it is the website of a specific club, Fujian White Crane Kung Fu, and could be seen as advertising.  Their sister site however, www.kungfu-taichi.com, is a research group named Wushu Scholar, headed by Master Ngo Kah Swee (Dennis), the chief instructor of FWC Kung Fu; I am okay with this one.

message: This page says that it was founded at earliest c. 1700, but on the page of Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of wudangquan, was supposedly a practitioner of the White Crane Style and he was reputed to have been born no later than 1273. Which one is it? They both can't be true.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.140.37.27 (talk) 22:18, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Can anyone provide a reference for this rather bizarre-looking statement in the article?
:especially in women's self defense, because they don't depend on strength and women are better able to imitate the pecking motion so common in the crane style of fighting
If not, I think the last part should be removed. Destynova (talk) 01:01, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Women are better at pecking?? 

message: The lineage in the Taiwan section is clearly missing several names; for one thing, Lin De Shun taught in Taiwan between 1919 and 1932, so he could not be sixth-generation -- the same generation as Wing Chun, who lived in the 18th century.  Also, Liu Chang-I describes himself as 12th generation, and his father and grandfather as 11th and 10th, respectively, which means that Lin De Shun was 9th.  71.56.236.22 (talk) 01:14, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
