    Looking at the classical move "Mang Fu Ha Shan" is a good example (with GM Chiu Wai, from HK, a very good example):

    It's very interesting, in Bak Mei the stance is more extended at the front knee the bridges are a bit smaller but that same sunken square tiger is there..

    In my fitness theory books one of them mentioned in the popular libraries of physical research out of 1000 articles maybe 448 will be on gymnastics and like 4 will be on martial art...this is terrible, it tells me that no matter how good your favorite TMA guy is if he trained in a laboratory setting he would be that much better as his training would be made more efficient.

    I wonder what loopholes Kungfumagazine would have to go through to secure a grant to study Lohan & 5 Animals in nasa physical science labs once the monies are secured forum members and subscription holders can send in video of their forms for gene & the government to disect. This would be great ad campaign to get more subscribers and more knowledgeable contributors to the forum.


    For now it would be cool to figure out how many popular drills are out there in the CMA world with similar tiger shapes but different fighting strengths & attitudes. Everyone presses and shoots claw straight in sunken stance..how many tiger Chin na's are popular in the Gung Fu circles?.

    When the wushu movement came out in the Nixon days did the government of china do much research into the anatomy of Shaolin?.

    LOL! Nah, Traditional martial arts with weights?!

    Hung Ga is known for the body building - in fact, to impress chicks, you need Hung Ga movie moves and weight training to the repetoire... big chest and arms help - and the low stances develop your legs - so no chicken legs here.

    I remember when I got back with my first Hung Kuen Sifu a few years ago, he looked at me and said, " I am glad you are starting to look like a Hung MAN".

    Yes, the founder of Hung Ga was Wun Hung Lo, not Hung Hei Goon.

    Not everyone can claim to be Hung Ga or a Hung Man. Its all in the way you open your stance - with grande huevos.

    Robert has Fu Jow Pai'd the correct right in the prostate !

    It is funny though because when I first did HK with this Sifu back in the late 80's, I was all of 140 lbs and when I got back with him a few years ago, I am now 170 ( at 5'-6") and pretty muscular and strong.
    He said I was finally ready to be a Hung Fighter !!

    Look familiar or not?
    This is definitely NOT Lam Sai Wing lineage Hung Ga.

    Looks more like Guantung or Hasayfu.

    It is guandong hung kuen.

    Nicely played set.

    I'd like to see applications with sets like that.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
