GM Garrett Gee, What Makes Hung Fa Yi A Different-Built Vehicle in the Wing Chun World?

by Wing Chun Masters on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at 5:03pm

Q: What makes Hung Fa Yi a different -built vehicle in the Wing Chun world?

GM Gee: Through the experience of Time, Space and Energy. This concept makes

Hung Fa Yi a beacon of light in the Wing Chun world.

To understand one's body in relationship to his opponent's body in a

defined 'time and space' along with the 'energy' that is exchanged in that

moment is the key.

In order for the body to really understand and own these concepts,

Hung Fa Yi's 'Tan-Bong-Fuk-Ying-Jong-Faat' utilizes this technology to divide reality

into three modules of time frame; 'Centerline theory,' 'Box Theory' and 'Gate Theory.'

Elbow, forearm and wrist energy are expressed in the Hung Fa Yi five energies;

"Ying, Lau, Chong, Sat, Faat" This is the science in Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun.

The concept of Time Space and Energy provides the avenue to implement strategy

and to recognize opportunity. Without the Hung Fa Yi principles and concepts there is

only technique.

- Tyease Deon Hampton-Brooks Sifu Benny Meng: What is the controversy on Black Flag? It was said that it was or has had a link with anti-Chinese Revolutions or something to that degree. I do not understand and need some clarification on it. I would also would like to know what Hung Fai Yi was attacked. It seems like a great brotherhood to the other Wing Chun family.

- Alex Magnos True warriors always will face evil powers and evil persons for the good of nature (universe). At the end, just will be standing and proud the true and good ones. HFY had its time to face evil, now is time for HKB to do so. But make no mistake, both will be standing victorious and proud for an everlasting time!

- Benny Meng ‎@ Tyease: The dark side of hunman emotion acting out is sad. The attacks on HKB now or HFY in the past are 100% make up by the coward attackers.

- Tyease Deon Hampton-Brooks I guess I had to ask since there were just so many videos posted up in a quickness about it all. I do not like to live in ignorance on anything in this life. In the end, after all the knowledge is out, then it is up to me to decide for my own comfort.

- Kevin Foster You always have to base your decision on your own understanding and experience. This is the true path. No one elses reality can be your reality there is always a difference even if it is very small. This is wise of you. Politics only serve the interests of the politicians not the greater good of those they are supossed to serve.

  GGM Garret Gee shared studio on Market Street in San Francisco with my Uncle Chris Chan of United States Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy. I taught Chi Gung. That was about 20 years ago.

- Jordan Maunula I had no idea that Black Flag Wing Chun was still being "attacked", unless of course you consider claims of authenticity being called into question. If thats the case, then many many many lineages of Wing Chun are being attacked everyday:)
  May 14 at 7:44pm ·
- Greg Yau I am directly down from the Ip Man linerage from my teachers and I still get attacked because it is different. Even though it was taught by Sifu Ip Man to my teachers. Some of the movements are different in private lessons. I will demo and see if anyone notices.

- Greg Yau One more thing. I actually believe the story from Black Flag and Red boat. However, I use the philosophy of the bean curd and the thug. So I train and teach that philosophy. It fits my nature. Violence hurts my soul. But if pushed in a corner, then it is one on one, life or death.

- Greg Yau Our team would like to teach everything (to the right people) so that other martial arts can see the real power of Wing Chun. Body, mind, and spirit. Most western practioners are not taught the aspects of Wing Chun except for the fighting aspect. It is much deeper as written on your website.
  
  One day when everyone opens up and see the entire system, they will respect it more or stay away. There is so much more.

- Marcelo Alexandrino Sifu Yau, yes, GM Garrett Gee is still teaching in Daly City. If you have a chance to meet him, please send him my best regards.
  May 14 at 10:08pm ·
- Marcelo Alexandrino I was Sifu Meng's first HFY student in Brazil and also took some lessons from GM Gee, both in SF and Rio de Janeiro. Sifu Meng changed my way to face Martial Arts in general; Sifu Gee changed my way to face Wing Chun and Kung Fu specifically. Although I haven't met Sifu Meng since 2007 and haven't been enrolled in any Wing Chun program since that same year, I respect and hold those men in high steem.

- Greg Yau That is great. But you still are following WC still.
  May 14 at 10:33pm ·
- Marcelo Alexandrino As a matter of fact, I've got a HFY Wing Chun Sidai who is my Sihing in Choy Lee Fut (there's something in CLF that attracts me the most). We have hands on meetings from time to time, but I'm not attending any regular WC classes since 2007. All the best!

- Greg Yau Hey CLF is great. Both my uncles taught a bit of CLF. We used to practice the Golden Bell. It is very difficult to stop the hand of CLF. Must use footwork.

  Ah, my Sihing is a Bak Siu Lam and Golden Bell expert. He has learned it from GM Chan Kwok Wai of Tam Sam - Ku Yu Cheng - Yim Sheung Mo lineage. My CLF Sifu, the late Marcelo Teixeira (Ma Hei Kao), had also learned Buk Sing and Hung Sing CL...See More
