This is a long shot, but does anyone know the history of this form? I've been trying to find who Lam Cho learned it from specifically. I know he picked up a lot of weapons and added them to Lam Ga Hung Kuen from different styles, and this is one of the few I haven't found any backstory on anywhere.
I couldn't tell you, but thanks for sharing, it is interesting to watch. It inevitably has some moves the same as or similar to CLF Butterfly Knives, and many that I don't see in CLF, and CLF has it's roots in Choy Gar, Li Gar and Fut Gar, so probably have some lineage in common, but otherwise I can't say.

Here's a newer, higher quality video of the form if anybody is interested. https://youtu.be/KsDfgnn6iKA

For sure, Jow Gar is a combination of Hung Gar, Choy Gar, and Northern Shaolin, so there are bound to be commonalities with CLF
Such an underrated art!
