    wing chun or hung gar?

    Hi everyone this is not a style vs style thread don't worry. I recently got over injured wrists and i'm wanting a style that will strengthen them back up. Which of these two would you suggest for me and why? Thanks.

    Hung Ga

    Probably Hung Ga for its work on the forearms and wrists. But then i saw some Wing Chun in Futsan which looked as hard as nails with plenty of dynamic tension going on in their basic forms.

    What about a a gym membership with a good Personal Trainer???

    That Futsan Wing Chun sounds great. I do exercise but I prefer to train kung-fu over working out at a gym. Thanks for the replies so far everyone! Does anyone currently train hung gar or wing chun and how long? Also has its strengthened your arms noticeably?

    Yeah Hung Gar for 5 years and yes it's strengthened my forearms (tendons, ligaments, muscle fiber etc) noticeably.
