Hung Men/Hung Mun Hung Kuen--any evidence?

OK--

I feel pretty safe in making this post since I have never known nor seen anyone who claims to do the kf of Hung Mun(aka-Hung Men) society.

I am told and I have read repeatedly that they have done their own style of kung fu..yet I have never heard anything beyond this. Never a mention of any forms that they did..or how their patterns look. Never even so much of an article except that they "were an underground revolutionary association" that "had their own style of kf".

Well...what gives fellas? Is the society THAT SECRET that even after it stopped being secret(aka: the outside world was informed that it existed after the end of the Ming--beginning of the Ching)..that STILL in this day and age..noone knows anything beyond that "they had their own kf"?

It's really odd..don't ya think?

Does anyone know of any forms..or their names..or what their kf resembles?

Anything?


:rolleyes:

I thought Ng Ga Kuen would be the closest thing to what members of the Hung Mun practiced. THe Ng Ga is in reference to the 5 ancestors.

however, CLF was also taught within the hung mun both chan and Hung Sing branches were heavily involved. However, what about Hung Ga?

hskwarrior,

Thanks for your reply. When you say Ng Ga Kuen do you mean the late GM Ark YueyWongs' style? Does he/one of the masters under him list this on their website(the Hung Mun)?

I suppose I should rephrase my question...

I don't doubt that there were some styles which may have had founder or other developers who were MEMBERS of the Hung Mun..

What I mean more specifically is...what I have read seems to imply that they(HM) had their own UNIQUE style of kf that isn't a borrowing of CLF nor HG nor any of the southern or even any of the Northern styles.

It would seem that the HM had their own unique thing going on that didn't really borrow from other styles.

Regards,

"Because the character "hung" was used in the reign name of the emperor who overthrew the Mongol Yuan Dynasty to establish the Han Chinese Ming Dynasty, opponents of the Manchu Qing Dynasty made frequent use of the character in their imagery. (Ironically, Luk Ah-Choi was the son of a Manchu stationed in Guangdong.) Hung Hei-Gun is itself an assumed name intended to honor that first Ming Emperor. Anti-Qing rebels named the most far reaching of the secret societies they formed the "Hung Mun" which, like "Hung Gar," can be translated as "Hung family." The Hung Mun claimed to be founded by survivors of the destruction of the Shaolin Temple, and the martial arts its members practiced came to be called "Hung Gar" and "Hung Kuen."

Erasmus,

I think based on whats above that EMEI is probably the system you are thinking of.


hsk

okay,

i could be right on this....i hope........

this is what i've found....its the english (garbage) translation..........

Emei camp

　　峨眉派之得名，是以佛教四大名山之峨眉山而起的，它与洪门天地会之“峨眉山”不同，洪门的“峨眉山”是 山堂而出于虚构，峨眉派的“峨眉”是地名，是实指。Emei camp's name is based on the four famous Buddhist Emeishan's stead, It will have HONGMEN "Emeishan" different, HONGMEN "Emeishan" mountains out of court and fictitious, Emei camp "Emei" is the name is actually refers.

　　从宗教渊源上看，峨眉亦僧亦道，而以道姑为主。From a religious roots, Monk has also Emei Road, but mainly Nuns. 在武侠小说中，金庸《倚天屠龙记》说是郭靖幼女郭襄，因为心中爱慕杨过，而又尊敬杨过与小龙女的爱情，所以 云游天下，借此畅解胸中块垒。In kung fu, a professor in "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber" said Guo Jing Guo Xiang young girls, because the hearts of love heroic Yang Guo, When the hero Yang Guo and respect and love instance, the Wandering the world to know what ideas Cheong solution. 后得机会听觉远念涌《九阳真经》，创立峨眉派，后来传至灭绝师太，其弟子纪晓芙、周芷若等，皆为道姑，此外 ，峨眉派的许多招式，也都具有女性的色彩。After hearing a chance Nien Chung Yuan "Jiuyangzhenjing", the creation of Emei camp, and later inspired extinction Actors, Jixiaofu his disciples, Zhouzhire, Nuns were, in addition, many of Emei send formulas are also all female cast.

　　峨眉派功法介于少林阳刚与武当阴柔之间，亦柔亦刚，内外相重，长短并用。Emei send Shaolin gong between masculinity and gentleness between Wudang, Sophie has just outside and the equivalent weight, and length of use.

Plus the way it's phrased...part of it looks more like a list of random words that don't have a real sentence structure. As such..it makes it challenging to decipher.

I'm not saying that to be smug or anything..I'm not sure if you notice the same think on your computer.

Incidentally, are you the sifu on the website on your profile or one of his students?

I have heard that there is the HS CLF as well as the Buk Sing. One of them I recall has lots of forms..perhaps 200 or so.

Someone was telling me recently that one of the other lineages has considerably less..I believe less than 30..is this Hung Sing or Buk Sing?

Are you affiliated with GM Doc Fai Wong at all?

Thanks again for your enlightening posts!

Regards,
EM

It's really odd..don't ya think?

Well.... they're "secret enough" that they've been relatively successful at "hiding in plain sight" for something over a hundred years.

The Hung Mun claimed to be founded by survivors of the destruction of the Shaolin Temple, and the martial arts its members practiced came to be called "Hung Gar" and "Hung Kuen."

this was taken from the martialartsgathering website.................

I like it.
In addition, "Mun"/"Muen" is often taken as meaning "gate" which is more similar to "Pai" or "sect" than it is to "family".... varying "levels" of restrictiveness and/or "secrecy".

double "B" cool. thanks for your input.

I've been fortunate to read the Hung Mun book thats out of print now.......but there is some real interesting things from back.

From that book, and amongst other sources.......man of the southern Chinese men changed their first names to include HUNG in it to show their support.

but im not sure what origins Hung Mun Kuen has. emei? hubei? not sure. but they said there's a hung mun hard qigong shaolin form out there.

Sure... it wasn't that much.

I wasn't aware that there WAS "a book".

Interesting.... OTOH, there were names and "there were names"....
Having multiple names was not particularly uncommon in "certain circles".

I'm not in a position that I can say with any certainty that there was NOT a specific "Hung Men Kuen". OTOH, "lately", they haven't been particularly picky about what was being taught in their hall.... or even their "youth affiliate".
That said, they're pretty much sure to be southern fist of one style or another, since I've yet to hear of any northern style being taught there.

yeah there was a book written by someone who infiltrated the Hung Mun, and pretty much documented everything he could from rituals to names and dates.

my sifu has a copy of this book. very cool reading.

Speaking of door/gate,etc.

I can't remember just how I came across this school..but it is called "Hung Mei"(The Eyebrow or Face of Hung). They have schools in NY and Colorado. Anyway..They have some forms I have not heard of yet. I called them once and Sifu Solo was pretty down to earth. He gave me the translation of some of the names..about 5-6 forms..I can't find where I wrote it but I will post it soon. Some had interesting names such as "Rock Lion form" and "4 door 8 directional fist"(I believe).The "Juen" according to him is the phonetical pronunciation of Chuan. Anyway..check this out. I wonder if this school has relations to Hung Mun also. Anyway--does anyone know the translation to these?

The first Set the student learns is Tai Zŭ Yīng Zhuă (太祖鷹爪) (Eagle Claw form). The Set not only teaches applications of the Eagle Claw technique, but is also an excellent way to introduce the pupil to stance shifts, dynamic tension exercises and releases from wrist grabs. Subsequently, the student learns the series, "Tán Tuĭ" (彈腿), from the province of Shān Dōng (山東). Tán Tuĭ (彈腿) is practiced by many styles of Northern Kung Fu. There are 12 sequences in the series taught in Hung Méi. Some other styles have combined several of the sequences and now teach ten. Tán Tuĭ (彈腿) introduces the students to many different hand techniques, kicks, stances sweeps, shifts, etcetera, and forms the foundation for future applications.

Usually taken to mean "Red Brow".
I usually write the family name as "H'ung"
Trying to distinguish it from the near-soundex equivalents of "Hung"/"Hong" which are usually "Red"/"Flood" respectively.

IME, "XXX"-Mei are usually southern and/or Hakka.
Those form names could easily be from a southern/Hakka/Mantis style.....

Tai Zu, Eagle Claw, Tan Tui are mostly northern.
Tan Tui is also Muslim origin, and has come to mean/refer-to "Spring Leg" and doesn't have a whole lot of high-level hand-work. The 12 sequences are often referred to as "12 roads".
Different lineages have different numbers of "roads", but they are all pretty much basic/beginner/foundation sets.... pretty much as you said.

I'm going to post this question again as a separate post by itself to give it some more visability but while I still have your attention guys..I was hoping to get some feedback on this..

I have heard of some styles of Hung Kuen that are considered "Hung" styles..yet not necessarily Hung Ga..yet at the same time..not the same as Hong Quan(the Northern long fist system-with the forms Da Hong Quan, Siu Hong Quan).

From what I gather..it would seem that the "Hung" name in martial arts in terms of surnames,etc...is more like the surname Smith?

Insofar as I could be "Erasmus Smith" and Sifu Frank could be "Frank Smith"(just as an illustration) yet neither of us could be related at all..not a single blood relative. Only common thread is the last name...

So carrying over that analogy to Hung styles..does it then follow for example that you could have 2 "Hung Kuens"..but the only thing they have in common is the first word "Hung"?

I know my explanation is not the best..but I am curious to know what any of you may think. Thank you.

EM

im not sure if it's still going, but i thought there was a battle over two different types of Hung Ga?

This book you mean?
http://www.amazon.com/Hung-Society-H...2669515&sr=8-1

I have it as well, its *thick* havent found the time yet to read through it.

Seems there is another book as well (reprint most liekly of above book, looking at the subtitle)
http://www.amazon.com/Triads-Society...2669515&sr=8-4

War? Now that I've never heard of. If you go to www.HungKuen.net there is a joint statement made by both GM Frank Yee and GM Lum Jo(Tang Fun and Lam Sai Wing lineages respectively). If anything it seems to be a honoring of eachothers respective lineages.

I'm enjoying this thread..

I absolutely must have a copy of that book!!

All of this talk almost makes me want to go back to studying Hung Ga. I've heard Master John Leong's school to be very well established.

We'll see...

It's just that I don't like to cross fertilize study time so to speak. I've been studying and gaining alot from 8 step mantis..it's alot of things that Hung is not..but I can also say the same vice versa..

So many styles..so little time...

My sifu, Tse Cheuk-Tong is a general in the Hung Mun. He was never secretive about it, even advertised that he was honored to be a member. At the same time, nothing was ever spoken about training in the Hung League. One of his sons mentioned that if another group of lion dancers were in the presence of our lion, the other school's lion would have to bow to ours. I always assumed this was because of the Hung association. Tse sifu practiced Tibetan White Crane, Hop Ga and Choy Lee Fut, among other things, and taught some of these arts to members of various tongs.

In Leung Tings books Five Patteren Hung Kuen in the Tiger section it says
Tactics of this form are twofold , namely the Hung Mun (Red Sect ) tactic in wich open attacks are adopted and the Hak Mun (Black Sect ) tactic in wich surprise attacks are adopted . Techniques of this form are classified under the two terms White Tiger and Black Tiger .
then it list poetic names for techniques from these sects .

[QUOTE=Erasmus Mingatt;772430]
Does anyone know of any forms..or their names..or what their kf resembles?QUOTE]


Hi. Resurrecting an old thread because of some new (to me) info from a friend who is an enforcer in the Hung Mun.

Don't know of any universally accepted or unique Hung Mun style. BUT...my contact teaches a form of Bak Mei (White Eyebrow) within the Mun that he will not teach outsiders. He implied that this branch of Bak Mei was passed on only within the Hung League.

2 questions I didn't think to ask at the time:
1) Is this relationship between the Hung and Bak Mei in honor of a particular master who once served the Hung Mun?
2) Is this a widespread association or peculiar to certain branches in Southeast Asia and the western U.S.?

Be well.

John
