Chow Gar girl in Karlsruhe

[redkunedao]

I think is red fist or elements fist not sure but jow ga that is for sure

[MightySunTzu]

......no straight arms plz. she gets them dangerously close to being straight and at times does actually straighten them, which has its purposes, but still. go against a mantis practitioner or anyone worth their salt and shes gonna get hurt.

[lamfeijowga]

Does anyone know which Jow Ga form she is performing?

[bladesaint21]

Agreed, Jow ga.

[sevgilim60]

Sieht echt gut aus...

ich will auch bei Sifu Ali anfangen =)

[geocubano]

or this is Jow gar ... which incorporates much of Hung Gar... but Chow Gar/ Chu Gar this is not! but good form anyway!

[xplosivfamily]

Not trying to be funny! is this chow gar?

[reddreamer37]

Yes, Chow's family. Of course there is more than one type of Chow family, just like there is more than one Thomas family for example.

[HungTaoChoyMei]

She is Jow Ga (not mantis) from Sifu Ali of Siegen Germany.

[reddreamer37]

Thanks for this. I will add this into the desciption.

[HungTaoChoyMei]

No problem. I see that you are teaching Kung Fu in Germany. Where are you teaching?

[reddreamer37]

I am a teacher for Hung Fung. This is Hung Gar and Fung Gar together. Thank you for answering.

[jeffdoeskungfu]

@reddreamer37 Whoa, I thought they only taught Hung Fung style in Hong Kong. You are most fortunate.

[georgeee1]

shes too gotdamm slow

[reddreamer37]

thanks, it is my pleasure

[jowmysteri]

Yes it's definitely Jow Ga/Chow Gar/ Hung Tao Choi Mei, etc... that can be seen in the opening salute of the form. the patterns and movements are jow ga (though some could pass in several southern systems) although i'm jus not familiar with that particular form. then again, there are several lines of jow ga with which i'm not familiar, jus a rookie, but it's always good to see more!

[reddreamer37]

I am sorry I don't know. I think it is the Hung Choy Chow Gar.

That's nothing to do with chow gar mantis -- this is Hung gar.

My guess it's from a Chow Gar (aka Jow Ga) school, another southern style that is a hybrid of Hung Kuen and northern Choy Gar. Jow Ga is known as "Hung Tao Choy Mei" or "head of Hung, tail of Choy", and typically mixes Hung-style heavy hands with northern legs. As a close cousin-style It's not unusual for Jow Ga schools to do the "standard" Hung Gar sets.

Not southern mantis chow gar then? Nice though - guessing it's the very different chow ka style..
