Fascinating Tiger & Crane Applications! 

Thanks to Sifu Rob Lopez for making video possible! What should I try next? If you like this video, please help me to share it!

Finally!!!! Hung ga getting some recognition

As someone who has a background in Hung Ga, really appreciated this. Smiled at Sifu Paul’s demonstrations. Like in any other martial art, Hung Ga’s techniques have so many applications under the surface. So much can be done with one technique! Great bits of history in here too. Thanks Kevin and Sifu Paul 😁👍!

Paul's cantonese is on point

This brought me to tears almost - my whole life I have dedicated myself to these arts..... i am 42 now and I don't have students any more because of life's turns etc and changes.... but i wish i did.... sharing the knowledge is so important to me.... it is dying in this brain dead modern world... i mix wing chun with some crane, tiger and some taiji..... those 4 make my sytem

I enjoyed this video very much. I learned Wing Chun and Hung Gar together back in the day. My original intention was to learn Wing Chun but I appreciated Hung Gar a lot more. The forms within Hung Gar made me feel physically stronger through dynamic tension. Sifu Paul's application of the techniques were the ones that I had learned as well through my Sifu. In short, this video brought back a lot of good memories. All the best to the Southern Gong Fu styles; Wing Chun, Hung Gar, Bak Mei, etc.!

A really underrated skill that Kevin has is how good an Uke he is. He doesn't overreact to what's being demonstrated and make it silly, but he also feeds techniques clearly and logically that works with the demonstrator's flow.

Always nice to see Sifu Paul Koh! More with him, please!

This video was F I R E E E E. As a New York Native and JKD student, I will definitely be seeing Paul Koh!

I've trained in different martial arts for 50+ years and Hung Gar is the one I'm most passionate about. I loved it for its power and practicality in combat. Excellent explanation by Paul Koh Sifu.

Grate video! This teacher was explaining real Hung Gar, real Kung Fu. Whenever, fell free to make a video of Choy Lee Fut. It’s is my style. Thank you

That's amazing. It's been ages since I saw materials about traditional styles, not MMA/BJJ gyms. Also usually it was about karate mostly while here I can finally learn more about Chinese martial arts. Hope there will be more of such content here.

This was a great video and Sifu explained the style very well!

This was very insightful and the knowledge spoken here was very valuable. Also, loved how Sifu used the Chinese terms when explaining his technique. As a WC practitioner myself to hear more about the other Southern Chinese systems sharing the space historical space is amazing.

Love this video! It’s great to see the crane and tiger combined and I see this in my own Goju Ryu Karate

I used to learn hung gar in Brooklyn. 1983-85 by a sifu named Mike Duncan. And he at times demolished ppl in street fighting. Very disciplined and aggressive style

Finally seeing a decent application for crane. Im still iffy on using a crane back fist because of the tilt of the wrist hitting something. That could just be my flimsy wrists though 😂. Great video kevin!

Classic Kung Fu is very different explained by someone who understand his style. Thanks for sharing.

It's nice to see Sifu Paul Koh. His tiger style is really something incredible. His tiger style looks very cool. A real master

Sifu Paul is a great teacher! There was so many other concepts that weren't explained too like chum (sinking) to generate power and 12 bridges, it's a deep system. Been doing Hung Gar for decades, love it.

This was awesome! I have always respected Hung Ga! Amazing system!

Appreciate you sharing Sifu Koh's knowledge and expertise. Nice to see Hung Gar getting some recognition.

I've so much respect for this style. Thank you for providing this gem of an interview.

Great video !!! I have known Sifu Paul for a long time and he is the real deal !!! His kung fu and techniques are among the best in NYC. Total Respect !!!

I started learning Hung Gar Kuen when I was 10yo in a small village ouyosde of Yuen Long in HK. Absolutely delighted to have Hung Kuen covered here.

I'm primarily a Southeast Asian martial artist and I've only done Shuai jiao of the Chinese system. So I encountered a lot of different styles of Kung Fu in Chicago. Hun Gar impressed me because it all stems from a frame system that reminds me of my own style. Glad to see it get some love

Koh Laoshi has a serious Hung Gar physique. Respect.

Are you aging in reverse, Kevin? You're looking a lot younger for whatever reason. Thanks for the video. The Chinese martial arts look the coolest to me. I can't learn any where I live but I can enjoy them in this way.

That was a great video.....Sifu Paul has a great knowledge and application is obvious....he also seems like a genuine and humble person...great to see they are still out there

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a> this insanely similar to the crane in Wingchun, at least the version i know. amazing to see its application so clearly demonstrated here, thanks you both for this excellent video!!

Well done Koh-Sifu! And gratitude Lopez-Sifu and Kevin Lee-Sifu for making this possible and available.

SIFU LOPEZ WITH THE HOOK UP!!! LETS GO!!! He’s my sifu’s sifu, and honestly the scariest guy to cross hands with.

Very interesting video! :) I love learning about all these different Kung Fu Systems and see how they apply parts of the forms. Great Work Kevin!

Absolutely Fantastic break down of Vital detail, Loved the Cantonese terms, Thank you! Ging Lai!

Good job Kevin. Bo Law Kung Fu school has been in NYC for a long time. One of the last big kung fu schools in the city.

That's so much information in one video!

The most important thing I have picked up from this video: the particular "shapes" or "frames" or postures of Chinese styles are moments in time, crystalized into a position. This trains the body to become familiar with these postures, so that when you are moving combatively, your newly trained instincts are connected to these postures, frames, shapes, whathaveyou. The "classical" approach is to train the body (with the proper mindset) to move within these frames and shapes, so the in betweens have the structure and proper tools naturally coming into existence then fading again into other tools and structures that were trained as well. All of that so that when we decide to move to protect ourselves or those we love, we only need to move with the mindset developed during training in order for those movements to come out. This seems to be similar to how boxers train after a while. They will learn to move within the frames of several punches, where the body likely needs to be to "not be hit", and a defensive position/tactic like the Philly Shell or Peak-a-Boo Style to maximize the effectiveness of the prior points. Then, eventually, they play with the possibilities within those "limits". So cool.

Sifu's canto is better than mine lol

This system continues to amaze me. There’s a certain animism and spirit that infuses the southern Chinese systems that makes that fighting flavor unique. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed this video. It’s rare to find a Sifu who understands and can explain the applications of Hung Gar.

A very good explanation and deep insight of that System. It impressed me very much.

When I started practicing Northen shaolin there was no material online about Kung Fu, now thanks to your hard work (and some others) that is changing. I'm still in my early Hung Gar years and I love it, both Hung Gar and Wing Chun have similarities and I've found some interesting bits of history, Chi Sin taught Hung Hei-gun & Luk Ah-choi and also was seen teaching the wing chun system, which explains some of the similarities. Something I like a lot is dynamic tension, which is present in Hung Gar (Iron Wire) and also in Shaolin (I chin ching), very good for muscle and tendon strenght. On a side note, my father who didn't practice martial arts, introduced me to dynamic tension via Charles Atlas. Keep doing this great work Kevin, not only we kung fu nerds love it, but its good to get more people into Kung Fu and keeping all it's systems alive! Thank you!! PS. I'd love to see some long fist styles!

Dude, you make some highly informative and entertaining content. Great stuff.

This sifu is quite knowledgeable, respect!

How fascinating. Thanks, Kevin Lee.

Good to see and hear from Sifu

Great video. I love the rediscovery of practicality in the classical forms. Jesse Enkamp does that so well for karate and you do it even better for kung fu.

Tiger and crane mix seamlessly together! As a Hung Ga practitioner, I believe the "flying crane" technique he shows is one of the most diverse and applicable techniques I have learned. So many ways to use it. Thank you for this video! It would be cool to also showcase the leopard and snake aspects of Hung Ga as well. Very beautiful and devastating techniques contained in those animals. Especially in the leopard, it does not get talked about enough and seems to be almost completely lost outside of Hung Ga and Choy Lay Fut. Looking forward to more videos!

Great stuff 👍 I've been involved in Kempo for just over 50 years but would still consider learning Hung Gar.

Thanks for such an in-depth look at Hung Gar. I’ve heard of it all my life and met a couple practitioners, but never had a chance to sit down and compare notes.

Always entertaining and educational, great vid ❤

Wow a true Sifu right there watch it again a lifetime of Kung Fu has turned that man hands into truly legitimate deadly weapons

I really enjoyed this one, great teaching. The cross over from what was being taught is very similar to wing chun which is fascinating to see

When say real kung fu this is it.

This man is a treasure

Very nice, thank you. Makes me want to get back into training after studying Shaolin Hung Fut many years ago.

Really liked the APPLICATIONs finally being shown of kung fu styles. Next I’d like to watch these guys spar as I think they know how to apply in live movement.

I thoroughly enjoyed this particular video. HIs knowledge was deep and explanation was enlightening.

This is good. I would like to see more of these Kung Fu styles in focus.

the info in the video is so high quality! amazing i didn't know nyc has such a treasure! now i feel like i need to learn from sifu lopez and jeff chen! is there more hung gar content??

Great video 🙏 🔥

That elbow-tear-finger jab technique was so smooth. I gotta practice that!

This is a great video, I really enjoyed watching this. Respect from a bloke living in Guangzhou, China who has studied Wing Chun. I think you and my Sifu would make for a great video. A long way to travel though.

The Tiger is one of the foremost Animal Styles in Hung Gar Kung Fu.

Kevin, you should try to interview Hung Gar master Mark Houghton or his daughter Charlene in Hong Kong. Mark was a closed door disciple of Lau Gar Leung of Shaw Brothers fame! Charlene also has her own youtube channel. check it out!

Good teacher. Very fluent and deep. 🙏

DUDE! Kung Fu Hustle is a great movie! So cool you got to meet that master!

Great stuff!

Another great video showing the qualities of another style. Cool to see the applications and principles as always in your vids! Keep up the awesome work.

Thank you Kevin this was a good video with good information.

Koh is moving fluid like a kali guy! Awesome 🎉

TAKING PRIDE IN LEARNING THIS STYLE❤🎉

This was a truly beautiful explanation and lesson of the Methodology of the Techniques within the Fighting Style. 🙏🙏

Hi! Nice job! If you really want to know about the origins of Hung Ga, you will have to find Yang Jianchi sifu. He is from the direct lineage of the founder of the system. Wong Fei-hung Hung Ga is "modern Hung Ga." Other older lineages led to what Wong Feihung amalgamated into this particular lineage. Also, a group in Vietnam's Chinese community teaches the original lineage of Hung Ga as well. I am a Hungfut practitioner and historian of Chinese martial arts. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

Kevin, it´s time for Foshan Pak Mei ! Great video by the way

Bajiquan would be considered Hung-Gar’s northern comparison and I like learning about all TCMAs. Thanks for this, Kevin You met my Bajiquan Sifu and I cannot wait to see your experience with him

Chiu Chi Ling Legend More of HIM✨🙏

B E A U T I F U L ! ☼

Rob is great, interview Sharif Bey if you want to see the fascial connection and larger circles that make it unblockable.

Great , he explain the actual application and history. Besides he speak good Cantonese too. Hung ka is a representative of 南少林 it is most popular in the older days in South Asia.

This is Great stuff great explanations and applications, most of us did not know

WOW thx a lot very good video and well explained 🔥💪..gives me a boost to get back to training Hung gar ❤🙏 thank You Sifu Paul great demonstrations of the various applications that one can do in real life 👍👍✌️🔥💪

Thank you very much & love from Bangladesh ❤❤

I did Hung Kuen at University. My favorite style was tiger form. I found it a very effective fighting system, I now also do Judo and combine the 2 when participating in MMA fights.

You just crossed hands with a legend!

Koh Sifu! Is the MAN 🔥🫡been doing Hung Kuen, since 1975 😬

Good job, Kevin! Looking forward to seeing Choy Li Fut on the next or future video. Thanks man!

Hung gar, wing chun, baji , xing yi , Choi li fut and dragon style kung fu are probably the most effective styles of kung fu in my opinion

Hey Kevin I've been watching your videos for a while And I appreciate your inquisitive dedication. There is always something to learn or take away. I love this system of the tiger and crane, and I see similarities to wing Chun. 🙏

Sifu Paul Cantonese pronunciation is 👍.

I like to that Choy Li Fut and Hung Gar are Wing Chuns older brothers. And that they have a cousin named Pak Mei who is a bad boy in the family.

The style used by all the old kung fu movie stunt men

сказочные теоретики восточных единоборств снова на канале. Фэнтезийные битвы и ментальные удары в действии.

Kohl is a master in fu jow pai. It builds on Hung Gar . I believe the flow better than other Hung Gar artists, but couldn't achieve this without the base of Hung Gar

I really love your content.

I really like the movements.🥋👍

Nice job, Kevin.

Quality content

So glad that martial artists are really documenting knowledge. The difference between some styles is methods of training, which poses or actions are primary, how they prefer to deliver power. There aren't really secret moves. It all looks the same because we have the same biology and laws of physics. But the difference in flavor between hung gar, xingyi and bagua should be studied and shared.

Sifu Paul Koh is the real deal!
