senior members of Hek Ki Boen
So we know and it is common knowledge that the 18 Lohan Hands exist, yes. In more modern times it has taken on many roles like being one of 5 sources that make up the sum techniques of Ngo Cho Kune. The gentlemen in this photo are all exponents of Ngo Cho Kune to whom Kenneth Lin received his Saam Chien training specifically through Tio Tek Kwie found on the far right in the glasses. If you do any independent research on Ngo Cho Kune, Five Ancestors Fist, 18 Lohan Hands, you would quickly see there is no historical involvements tying these arts to the Boxer Rebellion of China. In fact, they have nothing to do with anti-Qing Dynasty revolutions but only for the sakes of Buddhism and Qigong and Martial Arts and only those sakes.
These days you may come across something called HKB Kuntao, or Hek Ki Boen Eng Chun, or Shaolin HKB Kuntao, Shaolin HKB Wing Chun, or Black Flag Wing Chun, etc etc etc… All these names are in fact all references to one thing. Check out these videos:

HKB (Black Flag) Eng Chun Xiang Fuk Lin’s multiple identities, multiple background part 2
So let me ask the question to you. Is there something called “Black Flag Wing Chun” and any derivative of it like I mentioned above? The answer is that there was no such thing in history no matter what the revisionists tell you. The answer is a flat out NO. It never existed anywhere in history unless you count the last EIGHT years or so. If you do, then we can say yes but that would then conflict with all the historical claims that the HKB Kuntao group has been spreading to young and impressionable minds.
The fact is Kenneth Lin is the one responsible for creating the ridiculous story of “Black Flag Assassins”. Kenneth Lin is the one who mixed his Saam Chien Ngo Cho Kuen training from Tio Tek Kwie with Vikoga Wing Chun from Chung Che Man. He calls himself a grandmaster. Yes he proclaimed himself as grandmaster and the original heir of all Wing Chun bloodlines. “What do you mean he proclaimed himself to be the original heir of Wing Chun???” Remember this photo and Lin’s own words, people:
Take a look at the family tree he used to promote by clicking here: #1, and here: #2, and now here: #3. His, and I use that possessive noun lightly, lineage tree continues to evolve. To date it has evolved a total of 3 times in eight years. I think that speaks for itself. His background is fake. His story is wrought with fraudulence, and he is selling it like candy to the unintended. Based on these diagrams one thing is clear and when it comes to any legitimate tie to Wing Chun it is only through Chung Che Man which makes him a 6 generation practitioner below the Yip Man generation. His roots via Tio Tek Kwie have nothing to do with Wing Chun only Ngo Cho Kune.
Let’s dial that in folks. He is a 6th generation floosy in the Yip Man tree of descendants, but today he is claiming to be the 4th generation inheritor of the (cough) Shaolin HKB Black Flag of Wing Chun. Perhaps he did not learn math well enough in Surabaya Indonesia, but that doesn’t add up on our planet. Now, let’s just say (for the sake of humor) that his flag story is true. Let’s just entertain this wild notion for a few sentences and bare with me. If it is true that Yip Man Wing Chun comes from a “Red Flag” society, and Kenneth Lin learned what little Wing Chun he could get from Chung Che Man of the 5th generation via Victor Leow, does that not make Kenneth Lin a 6th generation Red Flag waver? So how is it he claims to be 4th in line when he is 6 levels below? Do you see where this is getting at? By his own story and his own words he simply does not make any sense and that is what happens when you insert logic into a poorly made movie, it all begins to unravel and fall apart. If he wants to claim some roots to a Black Flag then it would have nothing to do with Wing Chun but through what those old guys in Indonesia are doing (NCK stuff).
These posers, these impostors, these frauds have tried to seek refuge by tying their falsified 5 Flags/Black Flag fairy tale to the shadow of the Black Flag Army in Chinese history, led by Liu Yongfu. You can read about this group through this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Flag_Army Now, why can’t this be true? Why can’t the HKB Bandits of today claim heritage to the Black Flag Army from China’s past? FOUR main reasons: 1. The claim from Lying Lin is that his HKB heritage was not PRO but ANTI-Qing, and 2. The Black Flag Army under the command of Liu Yongfu was PRO-Qing, pro-Manchu. Please note for the record HKB Black Flag contradiction #6,000: “pro” is the antonym of “anti”. Reason #3. Anti-government groups would not use the same system designations as their enemies, like flags. Reason #4. The armies of the Manchu, the Mongols, and the Han, all had 8 banner divisions, not 5 Flags of Wing Chun. Totally different not just in number of divisions, but in purpose and function. VTM researchers fail in connecting their HKB creation to the Black Flag Army of the Qing.
There is one other historical occurrence of “black flags” in Chinese history, and is far more treacherous and sinister. Here is the video detailing the historical and unspeakable carnage left by the actual 5 Flag Bandits, whom the vilest of the 5 were the Black Flag Bandits who sided with the Japanese to rape, kill, pillage, and revoltingly dehumanize our Chinese brethren.
“Some views on Wing Chun – Refuting the ulterior motive of the believers
(China News) The recent film screening of Wing Chun Ip Man has renewed enthusiasm for Chinese culture and all kinds of comments divergent to that. There was a native of Shandong Mr. Zhao Yuan, newspaper contributor, who published a thought-provoking article.
Mr. Zhao stated as follows: “In watching the movie” Ip Man “after his son to see the network in the United States claim to teach Wing Chun, a Chinese American, actually nonsense that Black Flag and Shaolin Wing Chun are related. (note from me, he may be referring to Black Flag Wing Chun, google it) This is unofficial Chinese history and martial arts that they do not know, understand or have ulterior motives.
I am native of Shandong, my grandparents all died in the Black Flags, a bandit rebellion if you will. The Japanese invasion of Manchuria, five flags will ring around the Horse Thief, Shandong, five flags will be in, especially black flag will be the most heinous, Gein was the real traitor would be to help the Japanese killing Chinese people and soldiers, This modern Chinese history is well documented.
Chinese martial arts are very popular abroad, but there are some ill-intentioned liars who dare tamper with history in foreign countries. Black Flags will be the bandits to its name — their heart is black: for many Chinese compatriots killed by Japanese devils. Now, I see on the Internet, a Renzeizuofu Chinese bastard who speaks nonsense from the United States, its behavior is that every Chinese was the last straw, which the Japanese deny Nanjing Massacre What is the difference? For me this is the greatest insult to the Chinese people. Is it Chinese people’s ignorance, or a ghost from a nightmare? We Chinese can not numb, we stand up and expose traitors, feature our martial arts and defend our dignity!”
Now where does the real treachery begin? It began with turning Tio Tek Kwie into Lying Lin’s accomplice to deceive Sergio and Benny at the very outset of the sale’s pitch. I’ve read Sergio’s resignation letter to Lying Lin. I’ve watched Tio Tek Kwie’s incriminating video confession to the whole scam operation. Tio Tek Kwie confessed to supporting the lies, pretending not to speak English so Lin could control the whole operation. Tio Tek Kwie pleaded guilty and stated to the world he did it all for the SOLE reason of supporting his student’s business future abroad. Here is the video link:
Little did Lying Lin know that Sergio and his closest went back to Indonesia after the deed was done and got the truth out of Tio Tek Kwie! Not only did Sergio get Tio Tek Kwie to admit the scam but he got a mountain of EVIDENCE to destroy Lying Lin’s falsehoods to the last pebble in the sand.
Sergio Iadarola’s public announcements for resigning from HKB scam:

example 1: “Official Statement of Sifu Sergio Pascal Iadarola,
A Year ago I joined the HKB (Black Flag Wing Chun) association. my interest was sparked by its history, theory and expressed skill levels, by its senior members.
As many of you are probably aware, I’m a researcher of the Wing Chun system. I travel through China and South East Asia, to promote the system’s history and lineages.
Over the past years several attacks against HKB were launched on Youtube, which I helped defend on my Sifu Sergio channel. I even promoted the system itself through several videos.
As a researcher however, I keep an open mind and look at things from different viewpoints, some subjects brought up in the attacks caused some concerns. However, my doubts were always clarified by the head of HKB. However, a recent trip to Indonesia to meet GM Tio Tek Kwie proved otherwise.
The late GM Kwee King Yang had ten Sifus, from several different Fukien systems. His First Sifu a Black Flag secret society member named The Kiang Sing, his Second Sifu Goei Bok Khie a Tai Zo expert, his Third Sifu Oei Liok Hin whom he learned the Sip Ji Kun from and his Fourth Sifu was called Tio Han Tam.
Only Kwee King Yang’s last Sifu Ciao Fun Jiao is used by the propaganda of HKB Wing Chun as his history is clouded due to the Black Flag secret society that he was part of.
The Saam Chian Bo for example, comes from the late GM Gei Bok Khie, who was a Tai Zo expert. Kwee King Yang just added the Black Flag secret society knowledge given to him, by his last Sifu Ciao Fun Jiao (NOTE: This is not WING CHUN!) onto his other learned systems and came up with his unique18 Lohan Hands system.
The current leader of the HKB in the USA, learned this system in Indonesia, under several sifu’s, mainly sifu Tio Tek Kwie, but he also learned Wing Chun under a Sifu called Victor Leow, eventually mixing the systems and coming up with his Saam Chian Wing Chun which he taught in Japan. And later Ng Cho Wing Chun which he taught in Indonesia, before coming to the US and creating his HKB Wing Chun (Black Flag Wing Chun)
In Indonesia, the system from GM Kwee King Yang is called 18 lohan hands, and does not have Siu Nim Tau, nor Chum Kiu, nor Biu Tze in its curriculum.
The Forms taught are:
– Sam Chian
– Lower Saam Chian
– Sat Si Mui
– Sip Ji Kun
and several others, not found in HKB system in the US, like for example the forms Tai Zo Kun, Song Sui and Bak Kak.
The system of HKB furthermore, contains a lot of theory and elements from the Hung Fa Yi system, according to my sources were extracted from Benny Meng’s books and VTM website.
There are no pictures or videos in existence of any student of the late GM Kwee King Yang nor of himself showing any wing chun form resembling Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu or Biu Tze.
For anyone who questions this, I advise you to go to Indonesia yourself. Go to Surabaya or Probalingo, and ask them about these forms, or if they were ever taught these forms by the late Gm Kwee King Yang.
I’m aware that the means to defend themselves at this stage is to say that I paid grandmasters in Indonesia with sums of money. Anybody believing that, again I suggest to go to Indonesia and talk with the students of the late GM Kwee King Yang yourself, and verify what I’m stating in this letter.
Anyway I’m sure, this is not the last of it, as I’m dragged further in this political game, but then again, it happened to me before, this is basically the 3rd time that I found myself being involved in an association where it seems a normal state of affairs to build a reputation with lies and deceit.
sincerely,
Sifu Sergio Pascal iadarola
The maker of this video was right all along

Lying Lin’s whole world came crashing down and I can almost guarantee you when all this fallout was happening Lying Lin was shaking and sweating and praying to his holy porcelain toilet that the world would not toss him out like yesterday’s newspaper. Chatter on the vines reveal Lin may have gotten council on how to deal with this toxic disaster and the scared little chicken found an even dirtier trick under his feathers. He distances himself from Tio Tek Kwie in a public statement implying his beloved teacher to merely be old and senile and that we should excuse his instabilities. Tell me that is not the most decrepit lie he could do to oust his own teacher!
I cannot reiterate it enough fellow readers, Kenneth Lin is lying about his snake oil. Wing Chun does not come from 18 Lohan Hands and does not come from any fantasy flag of any type. Five Ancestors is not the same as Five Flags, and Flags are not the same as Bandannas! Now, there is something called Hek Ki Boen in Indonesia and yes that group does some Ngo Cho Kune. Ngo Cho Kune and Wing Chun do exist in Indonesia but I kid you not Ngo Cho Kune has nothing to do with Wing Chun. Every group of Wing Chun in Indonesia is all from the Yip Man tree and only from the Yip Man tree. See http://www.kangswingchun.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/pages/Wing-Chun-Indonesia/393397931080 for examples. You won’t even find the Black Flag Eng Chun/Wing Chun there in Indonesia, and that is worth repeating in all caps! YOU WON’T EVEN FIND THE BLACK FLAG ENG CHUN/WING CHUN THERE IN INDONESIA. Every Wing Chun group there comes from the Yip Man clan and it is that liar Kenneth Lin who has pulled the wool over people’s eyes. He is the culprit. He is the bandit. If you ever get confused you need not look any further than Lying Lin, and with a name like that you can never trust what comes out of either side of his mouth.
The fake museum that Kenneth Lin has moved his stuff into for his fake research. The VTM has never shown any interest to further the real research for the truth even with a mountain of evidence against the Black Flag BS. Where is the interview with Chung Che Man? No interview with the guy whom Lin asked to learn the rest of the 18 Lohan Hands. What kind of research is that, and what kind of BS museum is that? Only interested in selling certifications for their personal curriculum – a collection of techniques from various arts – to gullible hero worshiping students… this is why that stupid museum needs to be closed down for the sake of good education for society.
