Great video guys! I'm a Wing Chun and Karate student, and unfortunately in my city or anywhere nearby doesn't exist a school where they teach Hung Gar, and I would like so much to learn that too because, for what I think, Wing Chun combined with Hung Gar would be the perfection, you would have almost everything you need to never be defeated in a fight. And you guys made clear one thing I always think: it's impossible to learn any kind of martial arts by just watching videos, because only a Sifu that can see you and correct your postures all the time can teach you the real thing.
Aaaye my First Martial arts was Wing Chun too sadly the school closed or I would’ve kept learning. I still use it once a While I now Learning Kickboxing & Juijitsu. I’m grateful because it conditioned my Forearms so Kicks don’t hurt as Much, also when Some one has my wrist the simple Wrist Rotation breaks the Grip in Juijitsu. Also where I’m from not many know that style so when I hear someone who learned it brings me Joy, we are rare Breeds lml 😅
Martial Club! I just want to say I have so much respect for you guys! Hung Gar is the first style I learned before my teacher left the U.S. and this brought back wonderful memories training with my Sifu. Thank You! You guys are very humble and I’m looking forward to seeing you all do more God Bless!
Very educational video... and wooooooow!! Such humility felt in this teaching little movie! That's what is the best we can learn from martial arts! Thank you again guys for sharing such moments!
That was awesome, in helping regular folks like myself appreciate moves we have hear and seen in movies and television and how it is applied in practical life. Great video to learn.
This was fantastic! So much wisdom! I always think about how the applications of traditional style are modified when they go through wushu practitioners for competitions. It's great to preserve this ancient techniques👍thanks so much!🙏
I love this vid. He's giving you some very basic ideas of what Hung Gar is, and how it's used. Enjoy it, and internalize it, but as you get closer to using it for real combat, it's going to blow your mind how much the system changes and how you practice it.
I was waiting for a video like this! Glad to see the applications side of this art and an explanation to why certain things are done, instead of just trying to reverse engineer something that looks cool. I'd love more of these application videos!
Andy to be able to teach yourself watching a movie is commendable. Even so more commendable when you are willing to see where you could improve. Don't doubt yourself, your efforts were well worth it, it wasn't time waisted. D.Mah you're very insightful and an intellectual.
That's a good video. And Leo Au Yeung gives a good explanation those guys about how Gung ji fu kuen is use for. I trained Hung ga for three years, it's practical , and it's effective too. What you see in the movies is choreographed, but in real life is different, it depends of what situation you're in the streets.
Hung Gar Kieu Sau Bridge is one of the most powerful bridge to develop your internal energy. In fat there 12 bridges to learn. Start horse stance Sey Pin Mah for 1 MIN, 2 MIN, 3MIN, 4 MIN, SO ON...... reach 30 mins.., develop ur Tan Tien to store energy disperse thru ur arm, legs. build ur body like rock. Under SiFu Buck Sam Kong/Lee Yat Ming we started with basic forms to understand motion, walking, twisting, move fwd, backward. We had to earn to be taught Fu Hok Kuen. it is good you r promoting Hung Gar
That was awesome. It's always better when your Sifu explains WHY a movement is done and how to do it properly. That's why I like wing chun. Elbows and movement with purpose make it extremely awesome. I trained in Lau Gar is there a lot of difference between that and Hung Gar ? Enjoy the vids guys keep it up😁
It's funny I still have my PlayStation one and my favourite game on it was Shaolin, still got the saved data. In this game you pick male or female then you pick your style out of 8 different styles and I always picked hung gar, imagine having a love and passion for something you have no idea about.
love your videos guys, your too humble, letting the master help refine your techniques, and admitting you know more now. looking forward to more of your fights guys ^_^
I used to practice kungfu when I was 7years or 8 years old for 5 years... after watching your videos, I would love to practice it. From Bodoland region of the Northeast India
I own 8 iron rings(4 for each arm) to help strengthen the arms and shoulders plus I like the metal ping sound. It's kind or soothing. I was wondering if I could use them in wing chun. I know it's not used in that style but I figured it might help 🤔🤷♂️
I felt the exact same way training at gasshuku for three weeks, under our aikido grandmaster. he threw me around like a wet rag and it hurt cause he always asked me to show full resistance.
Really interesting vid. Looks like you guys had a similar experience to me. Seemed to boil down to if you can't make it work it's just waving your hands in the air and it's the small detaisl that make it work too. Well done.
I was taught by my father leg forms and leg conditioning but I was lazy as hell. My legs felt like riding a bicycle for 100 kilometers after every session.
The only way to be the best, challenge all the masters. Bruce Lee got his ass kicked a few times but he learned new styles from others. IP man took down a lot of masters bc they under estimate him.
It's pretty much impossible to learn gung fu from movies and even books. Because as you now know there are nuisances in the forms that obviously go beyond aesthetics. Concepts and there applications are inexhaustible once you understand it. That's why I love WingChun from Chu Shong Tin lineage as I believe he understood like no one else the depth of Wing Chun gung fu. But Hung Gar looks interesting as well.
That might be so, but they wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to learn from real teachers if they hadn't spent so much time practicing to the best of their ability using movies, books, etc. I feel like it's a lesson in working with what you have until you find something better!
CST lineage is very important. The true power of Wing Chun is internal. Movement is an effect of intent. We often train backwards, memorizing movements, but empty movements lack meaning. The same exact movement with proper intention and "mind force" [directed chi] becomes effortlessly powerful: the goal of Wing Chun.
IRONICALLY you are not alone in your superficial focus on techniques/methods . I teach as this sifu does only i teach taijiquan. students are surprised just how many details are included in various styles to allow them to function. it is said better to teach form than gong fa. which means most get taught the outside movements of various forms without the sifu teaching you how to use or why in an extensive manner. in this way they can extend teaching you and taking your money for longer without teaching you the real skills/kung fu. this goes on in various martial arts but chinese boxing has employed it not only for non-ethical behavior but as we know to hide the real skills and only share them with worthy students.
