2 Great Hung Gar Books!!!

[Subitai]

My Sifu Lam Kwong Wing just released his 2nd Hung Gar Book. “Authentic Five Animals Hasayfu Hung Kuen”




Of course I’m very biased in favor of it, but regardless it is tough to come up with better books that could possibly offer this much information.

Just like his 1st H.G. book “Southern Shaolin Ling Nam Hung Gar”
This volume goes into details about Gung Fu in general that are frankly not discussed in most books. Once again, Sifu releases and lets go of concepts that most people don’t ever talk about.

History, Gangster politics??? , Fundamentals, fighting principles and conditioning exercises. I’m frankly surprised he even goes into details about Tiger Iron Palm training, table and all, it’s amazing!

Excerpt:
“Ha say Fu is not actually the style name however, it is a facilitation of the meaning for modern use. H.S.F., or Lower Four Counties, refers to a region in the Fujian province located south of the capitol city of Fuzhou. It also includes Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Yong’an. It was the martial arts practiced in this region and is simply known as Hung Kuen.” …

Bitter Feelings
This Ha Say fu Book is really an important milestone. I had been begging my Sifu to allow me to release photos and/OR videos (old 16mm film stock) of himself learning this style in Hong Kong way back in the 1960’s. He’s always been very modest about it. In a way I understand, perhaps I would not want videos put out of myself just starting out in a style. Or he had other reasons, nonetheless it doesn’t invalidate the style.

In the past since Si Gung Leung Hua Chu was secretive and didn’t explain much history to the young man (Sifu Lam) that was learning from him. It’s been a hard pill for me(a student of Sifu Lam) to swallow… to keep quiet whilst so many A-holes have accused Wing Lam of making this style up.

Sifu has always been so humble and didn’t care, but all of that is explained in this book. He goes into the details of his fortunate circumstance to learn. Plus, to top it all off… the actual training photos that I have been asking for so long. Finally, I thumb my nose to all those nay-sayers. Call me bitter or vengeful, but they deserve it and they know who they are.

Anyway, anyone looking to really increase their Gung Fu understanding will certainly enjoy these books.
