New York Hung Ga's 10 Killing Hands HQ.mov 

As someone who has studied Hung Gar in my past, it is a great video. These are great self defense techniques , but need to be supplemented with regular sparring by the students. Once they know how to spar , figure out distance vs a non compliant opponent , their confidence ,and ability to apply these techniques will improve.

a very interesting and well done video! I read a lot of criticisms of traditional kung- fu in the comments section. I think some people fail to realize that kung-fu was a way of life, and not just a few quick lessons to prepare for a fight in a few weeks or months. I have gained much through traditional training as I have from non- traditional ( Wing Chun) training. Unless I missed something, I don't think any sifu expects a student to rigidly adhere to every fine point of his system in a real fight. My experience is that by practicing low stances and exaggerated postures, that in a pinch the body will respond with whatever degree of technique is necessary to achieve results. Thank you for sharing these techniques.

My father is an Internal and Wing-Chun practitioner, it takes a deeper understanding (feel of quality in techniques) to appreciate what is being shown. In his eyes he would see what you are sharing as more then generous, thank you for your insight sifu. As far as MMA, that is comparing apples and oranges. It is so sad when martial artist have to turn comments and ratings off just because others can not appreciate a teacher's generosity. If something does not work for you then it takes a modest person with good temperament to keep their opinions to themselves.

Very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Very excellent 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 and thank from your sharing. I have practicing the hung kar since my age18 years old .Present I am 57 years old.講解和演习分解得很好,有高水平. 謝謝諸位演练的师父.

As a pratitioner of Taoist Kung Fu, I've had the same experience. I even taught "sticky" or "pushing" hands to my brothers wrestling team in High School with good results. A wrestler can not wrestle if he cant even grab you. And most wrestling matches happen because both people WANT to wrestle, or were trained to. It's not that hard to slip away and stay away for those who do not WANT to wrestle or brawl.

Great video! Straight and simple lethal attacks...

Applications are always contextual. It is not a question of the attacks themselves being often used and to defend those in a determined way rather than to be ABLE to use these techniques in the case of possible attacks. More to understand as technical options for the special kind of attacks.It also makes you less vulnerable if you know such techniques.You can´t defend yourself properly against techniques you don´t know yourself. Action and reaction..very very nice. Thank you for this one

Great exposition. Well done, Sifu Yui. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's great. Thank you for showing 👍😃

Back in 1978 Sifu Yee palced more emphasis on the techinque rather than the target. The techniques were as I expressed them in my article 9 poison hands in IKF. Sifu Yee and I disussed this numerous times the main grouping of the type of technique double hands, no shadow kick etc. This makes it uniquely Hung Ga.

Very very nice !

I just started hung gar training 2 weeks ago, and this video is wonderful, you guys are great.

Excellent video Sifu, love the movement of hung kune. I studied HAP GAR many years ago, And hung gar was part of the system. Best wishes

WOW...!!!! I heard about these ten hand forms when I was younger. Great! I'll favourite this.

Hey 1776JMB, one of the things you need to do is build up your finger strength and the squeezing power. Hung Ga has many training methods to do both (like Tiger Claw training). And then you can rubber band a bunch of round chop sticks together; then practice grabbing them, digging your thumb into and separating the chop sticks, and squeezing the bunch together. There are many other ways, but this one comes to mind immediately.

thank you sifu. enjoyed the video very much.

Excellent lesson Sifu Yui! Nice to see good Hung Gar is still out there.

Yegenek, if someone was to copy what they see on this video exactly, no one should get hurt, as no one was hurt during the filming of this video. If someone was to deviate from what is shown, then injuries can happen. That is why proper training is needed to do these or any other technqiues as stated in the "Disclaimer" at the beginning of the video.

Hi Jarrmful, the technique you are referring to can actually crack the eye socket - a major target since it's so close to the cheek bone- if your hands are conditioned and you whip it fast enough. Speed is no good if you don't train your body to withstand the stress you will encounter, that's why the conditioning of the hands, the feet, in fact, the entire body, is important.

My Sigung is John SS Leong. Kung Fu Salute fellow Hung Ga Brother. Your technique is deadly and flawless.

i think this video is great! thanks for posting it.

We practice Hung Ga in Brazil!!

Thank you Sifu. I appreciate your sharing with us. We are always learning. I like the twist, and take down, on the elbow break techniques. The Crane wing was also sweet. I trust the school is surviving Covid grandly. All the best to you. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association

Hello Sifu!, Hello from Los Angeles, I recognize My great-great Grand master Dang Fong, and My Great Grand Master Ho Lap Tin in the back at the altar/shrine ... keep them good videos coming!

@NewYorkHungGa: Thank you for posting these techniques. These are definitely techniques one can use to defend himself and to end a fight quickly and properly. Also, is Hung Ga a short pronunciation for Hung Gar? I am interested in learning more about the style. Thanks and good day!

🙏☯️Great demonstration of the killing hands. Indeed they are for one thing and one thing only, killing your opponent, which is the only time that one should ever have to fight anyone to begin with.

@cal086 Because this video is about the "10 Killing Hands", not a self-defense against jabs/straight punches. I would use different techniques to counter those (such as a Leopard Fist after a parry, or a front snap kick), not necessarily the 10 Killing Hands.

Dangerous stuff for sure. Thank you for sharing.

These 10 Killing Hands of Hung Gar are really dangerous if you apply in real life threatening situations, it must be practiced with caution, if you use it properly it will be a valuable self defense technique.

Great video and direct techniques. thanks for putting it up! Respect. in Southern California there is a very good teacher who was a class mate of Y.C. Wong under Lam Jo his name is Sifu Bucksam Kong (Kongs Siu Lum Pai) in Glendale California. He is a legendary traditional Hung Gar teacher. check the school out, there are some good senior students there as well :)

Excellent video, great technique.

Excellent!

From what I have gathered from this video, Hung Gar at a combat only level is drilling in the places to aim for in order to take out the opponent. I like it, it's one thing to preach "all you have to do is hit this vital part here" and practicing it in an efficient manner/ getting the mentality down.

Good video. I like Hung Ga's weapons forms too.

Great variety of technique! Good Hung Gar!

Respect. this is real damage (even fatal) being done here so be prepared for jail unless you are in a civilian war.

this is awsome nice!!! thanks!

If your family's safety is on the line you would be amazed what you are capable of doing. Kung Fu is to better yourself and protect your loved ones.

There is so. Much Aikido here. I’m 67. And I remember seeing Hung Gar. Leopard Style. I studied Poekalan at 12 years old. Animal FormKung Fu. Very similar.

Nice to see some of the conceptual/strategic side of Hung Ga, though it appears that most of the people in the comment section saw only techniques.

It's really useful thank you

There are a few technics shown capable of at the least maiming your opponent. Some sufficient for possible death,blindness,dis-able. Very affective in application. The traditional Wing Chun from mainland China has some similar attacks. Kick to coxic or what ever coming up,heart punch with ginger fist, Pheonix eye strikes to eyes,temples,neck,arms. I being a Wing Chun man myself believe Wing Chun borrowed some Hung Ga. Keep on training. Peace

Superb techniques... Much respect for Hung Gar!

Great instructor

Did I not say that there are many ways to achieve these results? It's Hung Ga because I teach Hung Ga. Against a skilled opponent, another skilled person CAN get to these places just as they can get to any other parts. It's all up to the individual.

@cal086 You're misunderstanding me; to best illustrate some of the ways to achieve the "10 Killing Hand" RESULTS (that's what I was talking about in the beginning of the video), I used these particular attacks (there're others but I can't show every possible way) - most from an attempted grab, but also some from straight punches. Its hard to film at full speed because then I'd have to counter at full speed and its VERY hard to pull your punches.

I really enjoyed watching this. can u post more on the 5 animals and 5 elements

good job bro.

Great video tshe tshe

This was worth watching. I do Wu Taiji, a lot of similarities, we aim for the same effect, good to compare and consider. Thanks

@packie009 Well put. I don't know anyone who trains seriously in any of the fighting arts, whether it's kung fu, karate, bjj, mma, eskrima, savate, tae kwon do, etc., to ever talk badly about another style. It all comes down to respecting the hard work and discipline it takes to train and better yourself. Anyone who makes broad statements about another style is just that, a talker and not training.

Excellent video!!! Five points of course. Greetings form Germany

Very informative video. Very complete solution to deal with both wide attacks and tight centerline attacks. A friend of mine once show me this video asking me to teach him Sup Duk Sao. He is a police officer who wished to learn Hung Ga killing moves like Krav Maga sequences. I asked him to drill himself in the basics first. It is hard to teach someone something advanced without foundation and martial ethics.

What about the one demonstrated in Donnie Yen's Wu Xia (Swordsman), where you use what I now understand is ox-horn to the temple? I thought at first it was just obvious, cause the temple is a well-known weak-point in the martial arts community, but you found it necessary to show going for the groin. Protecting the "masses," or is there a part 2 I should look for?

ive been training for a few years i dont train hung ga anymore mostly wing chun but the toughest guy i ever trained with was my Sifu at Yee's hung ga. this vieo is awsome can u post more

Gratitude.

i used to be a part of this hung ar school chinatown branch. great techniques! i would love to go back but no money. i miss the days of horse stances, bow stances etc...

I’m learning hung gar because of watching avatar the last airbender I love the earth nation

yup only question thought is there a video on blocking those moves or countering them??

Sifu, are there any Hung schools you know if in the Southern California area? we really need some

hung gar is an awsome style,some cool techniques there.

Hello, I have a question: Why is your five animals so different? And if so, can I learn your version of five animals form?

NIce stuff!

Also consider these to be Wong Fei Hung's 10 Cheap Shots/Fight Dirty/Anything Goes techniques. Do whatever it takes to survive. They won't get you a standing ovation but if you rip a guy's neck tendon out or rip his penis off or uppercut him in the throat or actually land a solid strike to the tailbone, the fight will probably end.

true, killing hands is the best way to describe them

THIS IS VERY NICE GOOD

OK listen up guys.. TMA or traditional martial arts is legit in many ways.. not all ways tho. MMA comes out of TMA but MMA has good and bad as well. MMA is a sport mostly, and TMA is really not effective as a sport, and only effective at the beginning of a street encounter. MMA and TMA complement each other, but there is no substitute for training in speed, power and technique including all aspects of fitness. All combat is about movement, application and impact.. simple, not easy

Hi MrMidnightSpecialist, you are correct in that Hung Ga and Hung Gar is the same, The difference is that the usage of GA is the correct Cantonese pronunciation as Hung Kuen is a Southern Style a'la Canton. The usage of GAR is more Westernized and is used a lot too, but Ga is closer in sound than Gar - both meaning "family".

@BushidoCode72 Actually, I've seen friends practicing the first technique of hitting the ear. They had 40 plus years experience in the arts. One of them accidentally made contact to the ear, and not even that hard, and it incapacitated his partner. Also, most application drills are done with obvious or slow attcks first to allow someone to develop the range of motion, then, speed is added later to make it more realistic.

Being a an exponent of bajiquan I see some similar concepts presented here.

@BushidoCode72 If you paid attention to what was SAID in the video, no one ever said these were "killing" techniques. Of course it's rehearsed, its an informational video. For your edification, I choked out a high school champion wrestler, weighing 100 lbs more than me, and had 8" over me, over 10 years ago - when I was less skilled, not with any of these techniques, but definitely with Hung Ga kung fu techniques. Brush up on what the term Bushido means before you use it as your call name.

I train in Wing Chun. It's interesting to see the different techniques used in Kung Fu. We use the Crane and Snake whilst you use the Crane and Tiger. Your video was executed very well and the techniques would work. Very nice video.

Not hug, more like grab :) Anyway, I chose these attacks to illustrate the "Killing Hand" technique you can use. You can certainly use other techniques like I stated, and not all techniques will work in all sitchies.

Hi bornehere, The attack you are seeing is an attempted grab, although it can be done when someone tries to punch you too. What I'm doing is moving out of the line of attack, redirecting the force with my forearm as I step into their dead angle, riding over their attack, jamming their arm by coming over and trapping it. By sinking down, I displace their balance, and I strike their groin with my trapping hand, seizing it as I strike. And the rest is, well, there on the video...I hope this helps

I am a practitioner of Hung Ga for a year now. these moves serve as a very good lesson to me. I am actually looking for Hung ga's training method on the mook jong and find it hard to access. Can Sifu help in this area too? Thank you!

@TheRoeliskoel Agreed, the attacks are not full blown attacks. More like "this is what you can do if someone does this". After all, this is not a "fighting" clip, but rather more of a self-defense clip using Hung Ga's 10 Killing Hands theories.

Muito bom

3:54 i know this move, they use it in the form Fu Hok Seung Ying (tiger and crane), actually, not just this move, theres a couple moves from that form they use in this video

@cal086 Also, the goal of this clip is to illustrate the results you want to achieve to end the fight (with whatever technique you want to use), If someone was jabbing, it may not be feasible to use any of these techniques, but rather others (like a Chop Chuy) to counter. For a straight punch, you can certainly use the Sup Ji Sau to trap, and then do the "Break the Face" palm to the face. No disrespect taken - good question.

Oh ok Sifu, well, if you or anyone in the amazing Hung Gar family considers moving west, we have lots and lots of room for you here in San Diego, and lots of sunshine to practice in!

Nobody is going to fight by bear hugging you.

@austinalana Thank you for your service brother.

Angelo I think u have to train another 10 years to understand how complete system and perfect for fighting hung gar is. I have a friend who's a judo champion in Israel and I don't find it very difficult at all to spar with him. Just have to avoid been caught.

I realize these are all static moves, but at least they are against a looping right cross (very instinctual attack) and not a stepping karate lunge pump with the arm left out. Very cool.

"Killing Hands" easily applied to Bagua Zhang (or most other martial arts). Thanks, but maybe you should tell us what positives can be learned from Hung Ga. I've always understood Wong Fei Hung to be the "Good Guy ".

@cal086 Southern Praying Mantis is good stuff, good internals in the later stages.

@ Crack the Groin, the red shirt guy just wanted a hug. (I can't imagine why else anybody would come at you like that.)

Do they teach in san francisco area??

Até que enfim tecnicas boas

An awesome display of skills. But when the neck is exposed, how can a tiger not take advantage of the opportunity? I'm talking about life or death here. A tiger doesn't fuck around!! It is about life or death............

oh man, these moves are dangerous! that's why kung fu is rarely seen in competition it at all.

The hand has multiple weapons at your disposal. Knife Hand, ridge Hand, Tiger Claw Hand. Iron Palm,Dragons Knuckle. Snake Fangs. LeopardsPaw. Ox Paw. Back fist, Hammer Fist. What I call. Ten Hands. Jute Zuki

Where can i find this studio!?!?!?.Im a martial artist my self!,I learn shaolin dragon,tiger,and cheetah!,and a little of mauy thai and taekwondo!,self tought (wing chun&jeet kune do!)...I will love to go there and but my skills to the test!..but first who is this guy!!?!?..he seem a little skillful!.But anyways great video!.

Pretty dangerous techniques, do you think, well is it allright to broadcast these in a public media?

Because it wasn't like a videotaped challenge match. We were playing around at first in my living room because he thought he could beat me and then things got heated; I choked him out with from behind because I was faster and slippier than he was.

4:31 Isn't that what the real "no shadow kick" would look like? You would use both hands to block, or to distract your opponent and then kick to the groin

10 Poison ☠️ Hands ☯️

Nice! I don't think the attacks are very realistic, but nice techniques. Escepacialy the grabbing and then pushing techniques

So quick question and it may sound stupid but Does Hung Gar/Ga? deal more with power than speed ? this is coming from somebody with only a wrestling background wing chin seems to be more speed/reaction based Hung Gar does look awesome though just because i'm not that fast with my hands

the chinese have a saying that the sifu only brings you into the door. How much you learn depends on yourself. Some schools, both TM and modern, may practice limited to no sparring for reasons such as tradition and/or safety. If you are gonna be bitchin' about how you don't get as much out of those styles, quit yo bitchin' and try to find some friends to get together and spar, and try incorporate the moves you learned in class. Quit blaming the system and start blaming yourself.
