I'm a progammer. We first take the properties that are the same and abstract them out :) if the delivery methods are the same then each art is an extension of that method. So, are the differences...

We had a very good chen player stop by one time. He mentioned that the same coiling principles in his tai chi exist in hung gar. In that sense, the power delivery system is very similar even though...

I agree, and you make a great point. The delivery method is more important than the exact location of the strike down to a couple milimeters. If it's not correct then it doesn't matter where you...

So you're saying most people don't understand forms and their underlying priciples but you do?

To question is to seek understanding.

I agree with Bruce, the pressure points tactic seems a little ambitious at best. I can see maybe one, but chain punching multiple is going to be very hard to pull off.

What about structure...

It looks to me like he's leaning back while moving forward and striking. Is this intentional? From a structure standpoint, that's generally a bad thing.

If you say you trace the art to the Shaolin Temple(s), you are in fact saying that is where it came from. Or shall I say you are implying, because most people consider tracing it back as drawing a...

You know what’s odd about this is everyone theorizes about Sin The's background, making assumptions, and forming their own opinions like he is no longer alive and not a resource. Everyone has their...

Hell, if I'm wrong I'll just ask Sifu hehehe

1. They're all Chinese
2. You have gates and nothing can strike you without entering a gate. When you strike you open a gate. Most forms, if you...

Notice the official letterhead says "Karate Club". IMO they should take a closer look at their brand. These inconsistencies are a large part of why the club catches so much flak.

Yes, he's a great teacher! I thought I knew a little before I started training with him but quickly learned I didn't know anything hahaha To be honest, it was like starting over but man have I...

Hung Gar is HUGE on leg training. We spend at least the first half hour of every class training stances. We start from the horse and return to that stance in between every other stance. Then, if...

SD Tiger Crane greatly differs from the Tiger Crane I know. There are a lot of styles out there that have a version of Tiger Crane though so that doesn't mean their version is wrong. It's just not...

All martial arts are a conglomeration? I bet every SD player in here cringed when they saw you throw out that statement hehehe

I heard that Goju Ryu came from the Hung. If you look at their movements you'll see similarities however I will admit, they don't use the techniques the way we do. I'm not saying that's good or...

I would say you probably can’t defend yourself properly from a side you feel "uncomfortable" with. You can only attack your opponents weak side if they train in a similar method that you do......

Watch your structure and make sure your knee always tracks with your foot. Looking down your knee should always be over your foot and never to one side or the other. When transitioning make sure...

Everyone is either right or left handed, that is what I am referring to when I say dominant side. Even those who are ambidextrous have a preference otherwise they'd sit around for ten minutes trying...

IMO The issue with fighting dominant side forward is that you puts your power up front and exposed. Most people who train dominant side forward have the same problem you mention, they can not fight...

I used to train SD and the basic stance they taught when we first started sparring was the right foot forward stance with your weight equally distributed among both feet so you can move in either...

The Krav Maga guys I have seen are pretty tough. I know they train pretty hard. I think in the end it doesn't matter what style you are, if you train hard you'll do ok. Ofcourse we could all train...

He's not in our lineage chart to my knowledge.

I know several styles their own interpretation of the tiger crane set so you don't necessarily have to be hung gar to know it.

Tiger Crane is one of the 4 pillars of hung gar which is one of the oldest kungfu styles out there. To my knowledge, this is widely accepted in the TCMA community. I would serisouly question any...
