i used to be a part of this school!! yees hung gar chinatown branch. i really miss the technique and strength training and sparing and form. i miss everything!! i wish i could go back but have no time anymore and no money, and also im a buddhist now so i dont particularly believe in violence anymore. keep up the good work guys!!

@TheTruthAsUseeIt Its different from wing chun, but other than that, it is a very good art.

[Jericho11894]

good master and good training, but the only thing I disagree with is the comment on karate using brute force. Not being disrespectful, but if karate was based on brute force, I don't think they would've survived against the samurai. After all karate was supposed to be based on redirecting their punch with either a soft hand block or hard forearm block to also deliver damage to the opponents arms while deflecting since a karatekas arms have to be heavily conditioned.

Awesome!

No, wing chun and hung gar are like water and fire.

so, how does one see these hand and weapon forms as done in the yee style of hung gar? there doesnt seem to be anything but bits and pieces here and there, unlike chiu chi lings fully accessible style. these are historic days for martial arts, no time to hang onto smoke and mirror traditions. thats how things get lost. look forward to seeing some of master yees hung ga

this is not really similar because of the long range punches and the animal techniques. hung gar uses the five animals tiger, leopard, snake, crane and dragon plus the five elements boxing. we dont kick as much as taekwon do but in my class we kick a little more than most hung schools cause we also use some northern shaolin techniques. we also fight on mostly angles instead of straight line.

I have tae kwon do experience..hold a 1st degree.. this is an art id like to try though.....is this form similar to wing chun?
