My sifu studied Hung Gar before Severstar mantis, at least I think that's the order. He also teaches Yang style tai chi.
He teaches the Mantis and Tai chi in separate classes. The Hung Gar he throws in a form at a time, mostly to his top students. I don't think they get the whole curriculum just a few key forms, but what do I know.
He plans on teaching the hung gar ring set in a seminar for whoever wants it. I Think that came about because a student with prior experience wanted to do Iron palm training, and he said you had to do Iron arm First (personal preference I Guess) so the Hung gar set would be an augment or lead in for those doing Iron Arm.
I think he teaches a Hung gar chi gung set in the tai chi class also. Other that that the only hung gar forms I've heard he teaches is the five animal, or tiger crane set?
He also teaches Wah lam Mantis along side the Sevenstar, mostly as a lead up. There are some very shot Wah lum sets, that use very low stances, good training for a beginner and everyone else.

"For me, I like to use some techniques from the other styles, when it comes to fighting, but 95% of what I practice, teach and fight with is my two main styles, CLF and LP."
Where do you fight or what type of venue?
Planning on fighting in amatuer MMA in 6 months or so. Been doing some BJJ along with deconstructing my TCMA and training it like MMA. But getting old, 40 next week.

Fighting on the Internet and competing in the Special Olympics have a lot in common. They are both exclusively for the Retarded. Anon
Among the many proud moments of my life was having my discipleship posted on Mantis Cave and one of the funniest was when I saw how they mis-spelled it. Moi

The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.
Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.
