 fu Long Ying!!!!!!
Letto cosi' sembrerebbe una sorta di 'artiglio del Drago', piu' una tecnica
che uno stile vero e proprio.
Direi potrebbe essere piuttosto lo stile Long Xing (Forma di Drago), uno
stile piuttosto diffuso sopratutto tra i praticanti di Danza del Leone. Cosa
ti interessa nello specifico ?

 ti interessa nello specifico ?
Mi interessava sapere se derivava direttamente dal monastero di Shaolin e se
si chi era il capostipite, nel caso sia uno stile. Fondamentalmente mi
interessava sapere se si trattava di uno stile tradizionale. Oltre alla
storia volevo sapere come era organizzato il metodo delle cinture, visto che
ci sono scuole di questo stile...non molte a dire il vero: ne conosco solo
una   :p
Grazie cmq per quello che hai scritto (conosci il cinese?)
Ciao

 fu Long Ying!!!!!!
Credo sia più corretto scrivere Loong Ying.

 una   :p
Il metodo 'delle cinture' varia da scuola a scuola e dipende molto dai
'gusti' dell'insegnante. All'interno di una stessa 'famiglia' si possono
trovare insegnati con sistemi diversi di cinture o anche chi non le adotta.
I.E. spesso non e' un buon metro di giudizio.
Qui a Hong Kong c'e' una scuola abbastanza conosciuta diretta dal Maestro
Chow Fook (trovi la copertina del suo libro sullo Long Xing a

guardare :-)).

MASTER CHOW FOOK SIFU (????) (1914-1996)
Master Chow Fook, (??)also called Sifu as commonly called in Canton and Hong
Kong, being a favored disciple of Grandmaster Lam Yiu kwai as from 1938, is
now the 'Big Brother' of the Dragon-Form School. He learned from
grandmaster, Cheung Lai Chuen (???), of the White-brow School (???) from age
of 15 in Canton. This school has come from the same source with Dragon Form
but developed into different skills and special characteristics.
The Dragon-Form Pugilism (???) was founded in Shaolin Monastery at the
beginning of the Ching Dynasty (1644-1911). When the Ching army burned down
the Shaolin Monastery, a superior master escaped and hid himself in the
mountains in southern part of Kwangtung Province of China. There he taught
martial art to Grandmaster Lam Yiu Kwai (???), "The Tiger of East River".
This famous boxing module is called 'Lung Ying Mor Kiu', which means
scraping the arms in Dragon form. It has the characteristic of fast attack
with tiger claw and dragon waist. The two Grandmasters together were dubbed
"The Two Tigers of the East River" in their times for their unusual prowess
and skills.
In 1945, Master Chow Fook had operated sixteen gymnasiums under his own name
and management in his province. In 1950, he ran a beauty parlor in Hong Kong
and taught Kung Fu there. In 1957, he was invited by his elder brother, a
prestigious businessman in Brunei, to travel to Brunei and taught Kung Fu to
local Chinese Immigrants.  His elder brother ran a large grouped company in
Brunei, whose employees and workers were mostly Chinese. A local underworld
organization called the Gang of Ten Killers composed of ten cruel and
belligerent evil-doers learned of the arrival of a Chinese exponent with
terrific kung fu. They decided to take the first move to cause injury to
Sifu Chow and preclude him from teaching kung fu in Brunei. So, five
villains of the Gang of Ten Killers ambushed Chow. They were all strong and
taller than Chow, attacked him from all directions.  Chow calmly employed
the Arm-Scraping fist Skill to fight back until the five vicious fellows
were all knocked down to the ground.  Now it so happened that an American
engineer in the company was a skilled Western boxer.  Surprised by his feat
of setting back the five ruffians of the notorious gang alone, the engineer
asked for a match. Barely two minutes passed and he was already overcome by
Sifu Chow's Dragon fist.  He requested Sifu to be his instructor immediately
and called upon other natives to learn from Sifu Chow. Thus Chow established
a gymnasium, teaching kung fu and training traditional lion-dance there. He
stayed for five years and trained many natives and disciples. In 1962, he
returned to Hong Kong and continued his barbershop business and established
a registered Dragon Fist 'Chow Fook Gymnasium' in New Territories.
Chow Fook had trained a lot of disciples and proved to be well known.  In
1971, he led a term to Taiwan to demonstrate White Brow and Dragon Fist. In
same year, his female disciple, Miss Choi Ching Ching, won the first honour
of Chinese Martial Art Championship of Hong Kong.  His other male disciples
also won the first winner of Championship in 1973 and 1974. In 1975, Sifu
joined the famous exponent of Tai-Chi Chuan, Mr. Luk Shiu Sun on a tour to
America and Canada to inspect martial studios run by their disciples there
and give guidance to the trainees. Sifu visited Vancouver twice in 1979 and
1982.
In 1983, he returned to Hong Kong again. He retired from his barber business
and concentrated in training disciples. He planned to organize the
techniques and theories of the two schools with his experience and write a
series of Kung Fu manuals. SiFu is the directors and honorable directors of
many gymnasiums in Hong Kong and around the world. Master Chow returned to
his home village and died there on March 1, 1996, aged 83.

Grazie 1000 per le informazioni...avevo giŕ tentato di risponderti
qualche giorno fa ma ho dei problemi con Outlook. Adesso per esempio
sono a casa di un mio amico e sto usando freeagent ^___^
Quindi il Loong Hing č insegnato ad Hong Kong...interessante. 
Volevo chiederti un' altra cosa giŕ che ci sono: qui in occidente
quando una scuola si dichiara di kung fu wu shu significa che fa wu
shu trad. o moderno? Cěč una regola o ognuno sceglie i nomi come gli
pare? Te lo chiedo perchč credevo di avere le idee chiare ma  in giro
noto molta confusione.
Grazie ancora e ciao
