Hung ga/ Hap ga
TenTigers, I was just about to start a new thread about the crossover in terminology between the Lion's Roar and Hung Ga when I saw this, so I'll throw this question into your topic, instead.
What are the Cantonese terms for basic techniques in the Hung Ga system?
I suspect that much of the terminology for Lama style methods was already in place when it was systematized in the 19th century.
As an example, Hop Ga has:
chyun (piercing)
paau (flinging)
kahp (stamping)
bin (flailing)
chaau (reaping, pulling, gathering)
deng (nailing)
johng (knocking, colliding)
jaau (clawing)
jin (arrow, also called jihk)
chaang jeung (rushing palm)
jin jih (arrow fingers, also called biu)
sou (sweeping)
Kicks include:
daan geuk
paak geuk
tin gong geuk
syuhn fung teui
fuh mei geuk
sou geuk
chat sing teui, etc.,.
Are there more than a few commonalities?
