Hello fellow Dragoners,
My condolences to those who knew Master Lam.
I am wondering if Master Lam Chan Kwong taught the Art differently than his brother did? Were there some key differences? ...
Forgot Lau Gar too - beautiful set! But Ng (Oom) Long Kuen and Ching Lung were the most powerful forms I've ever seen in the "Foo Hok Pai" system of my lineage.
I'm wondering if Chan Tai Shan...
Hi all,
This is the Hung Gar curriculum I used to practice in the mid 1980's (not including weapons) - called "Foo Hok Pai" (Village Hung Gar mixed with Toisan Short Hand CLF);
Chut Sing (Den...
When I trained Hung Gar in the mid 80's - this was the first form we learned. Siu (little) and some learned the Dai (long) form. I always thought it was sort of an intro to Iron Thread. All of...

Like Yum Cha said...
Bak Mei and Lung Ying are no different than any other martial arts. Of course we use wooden dummy / telephone poles / concrete slabs, etc. How else do you condition the...
