Sung Dynasty, the 'Head' emerges :
Chen Po=Chen Hsi-I - is the often-said creator of LiuHo PaFa, 'water-boxing.
.....this is not believed by any historian of sino-martial exercise. Chen represents a rennaisance
of older ideas, rethought and repackage for then emerging neo-taoism. Chen is an iconoclastic 'plug' used to create
a source. Chen does however have numerous bonefide credits given to him and both taoist and alchemical-numerology links.
There are many sources that accredit Chen with I Ching mathematics, numerology, and as a source of music; the martial
exercise community who only claim Chen as their founder, are usually ignorant of this. Most Chinese are unaware of either
history, but know to differentiate Chen Po, Tuan, from Chuang Po-Tuan, the alchemist who came later, but whom
some confuse.

Wu Yi-Hui claims to have been taught by three teachers ...in 'Pianliang'.
Pinyin adjustment makes it plausible that this was a mis-spelling
of Pianling, which is only about 60 miles of Wu's hometown, Tieling; ...this can be considered as the modern 'input'
of water-style boxing Shui-quan (which seems to be the only name it was taught under in Shanghai [this is also mentioned
by Dr. Tao], and where it continues to be taught under this name) ...to the HuaYo'-XinYi-Liu He Ba Fa boxing-system
which was taught later in Nanking, China; system lineage was later passed to HongKong through Chen
Yik Yan principally.

<1>Cheng Wing Kwong--<2>Tong Kwan Tak
<3>Jan C. Childress [learned LHPF from 'Chang Ki Chan']
The LHBF teaching lineage is not clear as to who taught Tong
Kwan Tak nor what he was taught. "I learned the form from Chang Ki Chan in New York City's Chinatown between 1983 and
1990. Master Chang taught tai chi chuan as a foundation for liu ho pa fa, which he felt generated greater levels of chi
than the tai chi forms. Tai chi relies on qigong to generate greater levels of internal strength."
Tong Kwan Tak, 1920 - 2002 (d.Mar 19, 2002 England) "He was the
father of Sifu Keith Tong, and it is throughKeith's grace, wisdom and skill as a martial artist and a human being that we
came to celebrate the life of Tong Kwan Tak. "Tong Kwan
Tak was a disciple of Wu Kong Yi, a direct descendent of the Wu family. Tong Kwan Tak's first tai
chi teacher was Cheng
Wing Kwong, who was a disciple of Wu Jian Chuan, the father of Wu Kong Yi. It was through Cheng Wing Kwong that Tong Kwan
Tak came to
eventually study Wu style tai chi chuan under Wu Kong Yi."

LHBF-Phillipines-Cluster, from
Chen Y.Y to his last senior student David Chan: Liuhopafa Organization: Hsin-I Liuhopafa Chuan Society, promotes
the internal art [hsin-I] of Liuhopafa. David Chan, teaches the complete system as taught by the late Chan Yik Yan. Although
he learned all the Liuhopafa forms, Master Chan emphasizes the Liuhopafa main form. Master David Chan studied directly under
Lau Sam Muk and Chan Yik Yan in Hongkong for a total period of over 18 years. This cluster has come together partly due to
the exercise and partly due to citizenship+geography: David Chen, Peter Olaes, Connie Coleho, Edgar Ramirez. The
Liuhopafa version being taught has a smaller size-frame than the versions being taught by other teachers. Chan Yik Yan's movements
are more compact and designed for fighting rather than for exercise-demonstration. The compact-frame Liuhopafa can also be
very beautiful to watch with the movements truly flowing like water. He also studied the complete system of I-Chuan under
Wu Chi Chih who belonged to the Yu Peng-Hsi lineage.

I did contact Mark McGee, who studied under Xavier and recieved their book; The Chinese 5 word Song. I

The Denmark 'group' has taken the path of innovation on principles rather than the preservation of traditional form-styled
exercises; this opens up to the incorpation of other methodology, ie. aikido and wing-chun.

Coleho
'Let me introduce myself. My name is Cornelius Coelho born January 1941. Father of Portuguese origin and mother
Chinese. At age 15, I studied Choy Lay Fut under master Lee Chau. From the mid sixties to the present time I have
continuosly taught Liu He Ba Fa. With the martial art concepts of LHBF I have successfully trained students to enter into
full combat Kung Fu / Kickboxing/ Boxing competitions in Hong Kong and Australia and internationally with some success. In
the late seventies I was the national coach for the Hong Kong Boxing Assn.
Due to health reasons I studied
LHBF under master Lo Chi Wun in 1967 and also a rare Taoist martial art called Wun Yuen Yat Hei Cheung. Since gaining my health
back I have decided to fully commit myself to perfecting the LHBF and the WYYHC and also sharing my knowledge with others.
I migrated to Australia in 1985, joined the Australian Chinese Kung Fu Assn. in 1986 and was elected President in 1988.
LHBF master Lo Chi Wun learned his LHBF from
a taoist priest by the name of Ho Tim. While Msr. Lo Chi Wan was teaching LHBF in the Botanical Gardens in Hong Kong, an elderly
gentleman by the name of Lee Cheung Wah befriended him. Msr. Lee commented that Lo Chi Wan's LHBF was good but still lacking.
My master asked for instuctions and on trying out with Lee, my master acknowledged Lee's skill and went on to study Wun Yuen
Yat Hei Cheung from Lee.'
....From the EzBoard Website: 'Master Connie Coelho learned LHBF and Wun Cheun Yut Hay Geun (Cantonese)WCYHG, which pre-dates LHBF from
a Taosit Priest, Master Lo Che-Yuen, in Hong Kong ...after he was injured from Competiiton in Thailand and Singapore
(He was known as one of the 5 Tigers of Choy Lay Fat) He was taught LHBF, WCYHG and TCM to both heal himself and to strengthen
himself after he got injured. I hadn't even finished mastering LHBF so he never mentioned WCYHG to me. WCYHG, of which
I have a Video, is more than twice as long as LHBF, more intricate, flowing and powerful. Even Connie says that he has never
met or heard of any one who knows of WCYHG. He immigrated to Sydney, Australia back in 1980's and has continued to teach
there. He is a true master of the Martial Arts as he has mastered the art, applied the Martial principles and is able to generate
real power. I am sure you are thinking that the above is too good to be true. Bear with me and check it out. You
may be surprised. In the meantime, I am still looking for some who may have also studied from Master Lo Che-Yuen who
may have immigrated to Canada or the US.'
