Andreas Garski?

I met him a while back when I visited Germany as a guest of Andreas Hoffman. I believe he was a student of Chiu Chi Ling.

He was very talented. If you practice good, you will be good, no matter what race.

CLF and Hung Gar are two sides of the same coin. Probably Wong Fei Hung had some influence of CLF...

Hung Gar is basically body first, then bridge; CLF is hand first, then body. Advanced practitioners of each do both and look almost the same.

I think this is determined by the lineage/style of the individual CLF player. There are some CLF guys that look almost strictly northern in the fajing and technique execution/feel and does not resemble Hung Gar at all.

There's a problem with wearing those kung fu boots - they have no traction - that's why he almost fell - twice - once at 0:46 and again near the end.

Overall a very nice performance of a different variation of Butterfly Palm.

I love his performance (as I commented over a year ago) but I do find him leaning forward too much.

But I am not a hung gar practicioner so...

I agree with Iron Silk- The Hung Gar Penang- is impressive. The performer is very enthusiastic. Hung Gar suits large people well. Thanks for the good video.
