Old style "village" Hung Kuen? What forms are these?

[LaterthanNever]

I could do w/out the music in the background(unless noone watching this hears it and it's just my computer acting zonko).

Anyway..

The man in this video is the late Grandmaster Lao Kim(parts remind me of GGFFK, whereas others remind me of Lau Ga Kuen).


Does anyone know what Hung Kuen sets these are? Thanks to whomever posted them. Resolution makes it hard to decipher, but intesting moves.

Sadly Village Hung looks like every other style supposedly taught in Taishan/Toisaan/ 台 山; actually, one of those lu looks similar one that I do in fojiaquan.

Just watching the videos, this is historically from a period between original very short stance short fits hung fist and the later famous 'tiger and crane" Wong Fei Hung Ga style

There are a couple of opinions why "Hung" as a name is attached to so many lineages, but the quick story is, there was a lot of short hand kung fu in Guangdong, Guangxi (and even Fukien) that later adopted more "long hand"

By the time of Wong Fei Hung, the long hand, and not just the hand but the footwork and kicks, had so influenced it we got entirely different systems
