@d3sired those are because one of the most famous practitioners of hung gar hurt his wrists but didn't want to stop training so he put on a pair of those, someone took a picture, and people have been copying ever since.
@rockloverdude You'd never find out, it would require something of you that you DONT have, and not likely to grow anytime soon. A Man's set of balls to go ask him yourslef in person. *LOL*
@rockloverdude How do you know he cant kick? Have you even studied HUng gar? If you did youd know its a Southern style, and kicking is the least emphasised aspect of the art. Go to a national NBL or NASKA tournament and you'll find 13- 17yr olds tht can do some amazing kicks you'd never thought a human could do, and actually hurt you with them! You wanna make them Hunggar masters too? If a master can no longer can kick they way he used to does he STOP being a Master?
@rockloverdude Choy Li Fut is Choy Li Fut and Hung Gar is HungGar, to the uninitiated its all the same to them. Choy Li Fut has those amazing kicks for a Southern style becasue it's style made up of atleast 3 different styles which atleast one of them has a huge Northen kicking style influence. Its named for 3 men Choy, Li and "Fut" refers to a Shaolin Monk. I love when people think I'm too big to kick, The look on their faces after our matches is priceless!..Learn something.
@rockloverdude I believe you DONT have alot of experience in fighting or martial arts, or you'd know that high kicking really isnt that important enought to judge a person's kungfu on. Its a skill you invest countless hrs on perfecting and you get little back in reward So really, Who cares if Master Hamby can kick or Not? Hed be doing you a favor just kicking you,Youd be lucky not to get ripped apart by those Tiger Claws. Thats Hung gar's specialty as well as being rock solid
@bladesaint21 I actually have write a bit of experience, and yes I know !!
chill out man I just wanted to know if he could kick or not, cuz not most people of his size can you totally misread me. I don't mean to insult anyone, I just had a question.
and I'm not judging his Kung fu when the hell did I say I was.
@rockloverdude You dont even know most people his size. What you should say is most people his size that YOU know, can't kick, if thats even true. You still might get surprised. You should ask them to kick the hell out of you to find out.Youre generalizations are what get you in trouble. I'm martial arts etticute there is nothing more insulting that asking a master if he can do this or that. They dont perform on request like a carnival act.
Don is grate fighter and a grate martial artist. very few posses his ability to adapt to anything that is thrown at them, He can do that efortlessly, and by no means is is slow, because when you play hands with him, you will get hit about 3-4 times before you are able to wake up and move, that's iif he does not want to hurt you.
Hung gar is not practiced fast, because the aim is to develope power and propper tecnique, but whe you fight, there are several key factors, speed, mobility, power, and most importantly timing. if your timing is off id does not matter on how hard you hit or how fast you panch, because you are not going to land anything. but with propper understanding and timing you can slow down a fast fighter and not get hit with strong punching. if prcticed deligently speed will come to you with time.
I notice Hung Fist practitioners got large arms. I could be the result of iron rings exercise. Apparently this guys got tremendous power and speed with their strikes.
it is not chinas most powerful system. it is chinas system with the most external workout, in that case muscleworkout.
... and i think dvds are less convincing if the so called sifu doesn´t even have a kung fu body in fact big daddy didn´t seem to care doing all of the hung gar exercises which are not only for armstrength cause the he would be a bit smaller ;)
@schulleee oh you mean like sammo hung? anyway, i think that he needs to balance his protien intake by minimizing his carbs. alot of chinese people are not built like this guys arms. you need to eat per pound, an ounce of protien daily to achieve tremendous muscle gain. anyway, sumo wrestlers eat sleep and crap wrestling and are the most dangerous fighters in the world. so what does that mean that this dude is fat? maybe he likes beer lol.
@schulleee Speaking about "kung fu", nothing is a rule. because kung fu is not just one martial art, but several martial arts. Actualy, kung fu is all martial arts came from china. Talking about hung gar, hung gar is not a "explosive" and fast stile. Hung gar is much more about strenght.
i knew that kung fu was the general term for all chinese martial arts.
and yes, hung gar is mostly about strength but it doesn´t mean that it´s slow. and what i was trying to say is that the big guy looks only like he did weight workout + a bad diet nothing more. he is fatty and unagile. his arms are bend and point off the body when he leaves them hanging. he would get scrached serval times over his face before he could move his huge mass.
@lugenocyber It depends. They have fast hand techniques too like the hang fist and the leak hand (one similar to the groin strike the lady just demonstrated but with a closed fist) and the whip punch (as Choy Li Fut may call it). Their hook or round house punch (whatever they may call it) and the upper cut (Tiger Raises Its Head) may not be a fast technique but it is meant to knock the opponent with its power behind the strike.
@lazaga777 What i was trying to say is: Compared to other martial arts style, hung gar, in general, is not a faster style. Of course there are fast techniques, or very fast fighters. But, what i was trying to say is about the style's caracteristics. Of course im not trying to say something bad. Actually, i am a hung gar student. Actually, this is the only martial art i practice. But, what im trying to say is about the hung gar's fighting focus. Understand?
@lugenocyber Not my style anyway. I just observe the similarities of their techniques with what I learned from Shaolin. And I noticed those similar fast techniques of Hung fist I usually used when I spar with a Wing Chun practitioner (friend of mine). It works for me. It could also work for you. Just stay out of their striking range. Use foot work, I think Hung's got better footwork. Don't get me wrong. I'm not boasting. What I'm driving at is that you can use your edge to your advantage.
INCROYABLE idiot message on this good video... His stance are strong and i think he can be doing more faster than other Hung Kuen guys i have seen befor. Big body or not nothing interest!
Its one thing to criticise this guy if you're in the same style, or even a different style if you think something might not be effective, but all these people who have nothing better to say then "he's fat"... come on. At least he's practising and teaching, while most of you are probably sitting home on your couch eating cheesy poofs. Grow up already...
@dkcarey1 Physical strength is NOTHING especially if you do not have inner strength.. I practice Hung Gar, my sifu is built in a similar way, he is fast and explosive (a big misconception is huge guys are can only use power).
@mansondevil33 did you mean to reply to me on this? as your comment seems to have no bearing whatsoever on what I posted. I've trained in both Tai-Chi and Hsing-Yi, as well as other external styles, so I know what internal energy is all about. My comment was in regards to people being childish and commenting on this Sifu's physical appearance, instead of constructively commenting on his style, technique,teaching ability, application, etc...
i like how people are like hes fat and im just sitting here thinking would you say that to his face HELL NO!LOL and hes not fat you fucking rejects hes buff and has a gut
@InevitableCommotion Those leather belts and wrist braces are leftover from the warrior days of armor swords and spears. A reminder of where the art came from.
you fool, of course you dont wear them outside in a fight. but its tradition to wear them in the training schools as respect to the old masters. think this is what they used to wear hundreds of years ago.
you need to learn the value of respect and honour
ah wait.....i think i have misunderstood you, i looked at your other comments and i am sorry, i thought you were degrading the uniform how you wrote it and i am sorry.
yes I agree these moves came from lau family, the elbow move was included from our basic form muy fah kuen. I am the descendant of lau family. btw tony gunshow lam and lau are close ties n the hung kue world. can we be friends?
that last set of moves, elbow tiger claw to groin and back fist is from my lau gar empty hand form. very cool. i train with a desendant of the Wing Lam family style of kung fu

he doesn´t even have that much muscles he is just very faty.
and pretty much nobody who is good in kung fu looks like that. just because that bodysize is a huge disadventage.
