  • Very good work. Congratz :-)

  • its like ive always said. kung fu in only a year of practice should be effective. and less than that if you are talented. this does abolish the preconceived notion that decades are needed to promote competent fighters. that is if the kung fu is true and solid. you go and wave the banner proudly hop gar kuen

  • Muy buenas aplicaciones de Kung Fu tradicional. Se nota que el profesor entiende lo que hace

  • muy muy bueno el conocimiento tibetano que expone simolotud con el kempo americano golpes variados en zonas simultaneamente ozzzzz mos lee karate gran supremo leon venezuela felicidades

  • Man, I have been researching the Hop Gar system, but this is pretty cool, I didn't know there was a drunken subsystem.

  • @crazedjustice888 Sifu Ku's Hop Gar is a "hong Kuen" or a seed fist system. Seed fist means that any element can be taken and developed in a particular direction. As such you can create your own style from the seed fist and give it a name. However, the core of the art is based on the Tai Chi circle from which four actions must occur. Take care, move the power, take the balance and hit.

  • @hopgarkungfu All systems have seed fists or techniques that the particular system favors, but why go out and make your own system when you have a perfectly good one staring you in the face. Wait, are you saying that hop gar is a descendant style of tai chi?

  • @crazedjustice888 Some main elements of Sifu Ku's Hop Gar teaching is to understand the circle, the five patterns from Sing Lung, and the "five-point" footwork method. The other 24 pieces were added by Wong Yam Lung from various Chinese Kung Fu. On the style of tai chi chuan - My intended reference was of the yin and yang circle known as tai chi or taiji. In teaching it's simply a tool to discuss concepts such as "roll the ball". In practice it's about how to control the circle.

  • @hopgarkungfu Yeah, I have read about the circle in hop gar and how the footwork is deceptive and ever turning. I have also read how the footwork is based on the plum flower posts explaining why the hop gar guys torque so much in the waist and punch with the shoulder aim, or shooting stance.
