It is a Hung Gar form.
Take your pick, hopefully you can see these vids in China:

tried that yesterday,not there, but thanks.
Gong Zi Fu Hu Quan = Gong ji fook fu kuen
-Along the I shape, subdue the tiger.-
Yup. Gung Ji Fook Fu Kuen, generally one of the first forms taught in Hung Gar.
I have seen that form many time and even learned it a while back from Yees Hung Gar. This is a totally different form. I don't know why I keep getting these wrong translations.
Hung Gar has spent a while off the mainland.Quote:

Also, Hung style is not all the same, but shares many same things from it's shaolin roots.
So forms can look quite different in pattern and sequence, but often, they contain the same information oddly enough!
Old Hung Gar, LSW Hung Gar, Tang Fung Hung Gar, Sil Lum Tiger Crane, Sil Lum Black Tiger...all Hung styles and all different from each.
You are not going to find one school doing exactly the same thing as another. There will always be flavour added.
If it's from the same line, it will resemble more closely, if the break in the line occurred earlier, greater changes may exist.
IN all honesty, I'd just be happy with what I am learning and continue on and not worry too much about it.
the lineage and intellectual stuff really doesn't matter much if the training is sound. :)
Thanks for the info David. Do you or anyone know of a link showing this form [Mui Fa Kuen] other than youtube. the description sound like it might be the form. it is short and has tiger claw movements.

Yang abundance, I don't know... The discussions there are always on topic, very civilized, and fights are practically non-existent.
If you are into Hung Kuen, be sure to at least check the forum out before you judge. There is a lot to be gained from a great bunch of people. :)
Hung Kuen Yat Gar!
lol, I did check it out and that's why I made that comment. I find it funny that you would make this remark as it was a couple of your comments that made me think that! Like where you bag on this forum for being run down etc.. :DQuote:
