Thread: Hung Gar & Choy Li Fut

    Hung Gar & Choy Li Fut

    Could someone outline in very simple terms the similarities and differences between these styles? I seem to remember Hung Gar is considered a purely Southern style whereas CLF has elements of Northern Shaolin in it - footwork and kicking perhaps?

    One is for fighting, one is for spiritual. Neither has Snake Engine or Monkey Beaks.

    That's interesting. I could be wrong but I've always had the impression CLF employs swinging strikes and high kicks far more than Hung Gar - is this the case?
