I got this from the book The Ultimate Martial Arts encycopedia" by John Little and Curtis Wong. In a chapter on Hung Gar, they state that there is a branch of Hung Gar called "Szechuan Hung Gar" and list the following hand sets:
1. Siu Hong Kuen(small red fist)
2.Da Hong Kuen(Big Red Fist)
3. Hong Moon Choy(Red Door strike)
4. Hong Moon Sao(Red Door Hand)
These forms sound very much like the forms that "Ten Tigers" listed in my previous post on "Hong Cha" kung fu and Sifu Lung Kai Ming's kung fu. Is the name similarity just a coincidence and is Lung Kai Ming a master of a different style of kung fu than Hung Gar? Has anyone heard of Szechan Hung Gar kung fu? If so, are these forms at all like the fist sets of the other Hung Gar lineages?(Canton-Village HG,Ha Say Fu Hung Gar, and Wu Bei Hung Gar). Again--I realize I have much to learn..I'm just going by what the book says about the fist sets and the other Hung Gar lineages. Thanks.
