Hello everybody, I have a question for my friend, and though I tried I'm afraid it's not something I know about, so I won't pretend to. He wants to learn a style of Kung Fu called Bak Mei (or Pak Mei) stared by a monk of the same name. I wikipedia-ed him already and searched some sites as well, however, he wants to know which sifus are legitimate and which aren't. He heard about a gym in NYC but he also read a thread on another discussion saying that it wasn't legitimate because the dates in a book written by a suppoesed student apparently didn't add up. Although I admire Kung fu, I've never practised it and would like somebody who has any knowledge about legitimate branches of this style to please tell me what the criteria would be to determine them. I know that this site is a budo site, and I practise budo, but everybody here also appreciates other styles as well, being lovers of the martial arts in general, not only budo, I imagine. If anyone does know about this style well, please tell me so that I can point this man of an empty cup in the right direction. A Thanks to everybody for their patience and thoughtfulness, Happy Chinese New Year!
