I, for one, LOVE this form! And ... who cares if this form or that form is better than another one. That is just silly talk! A true martial artist knows how to respect. He/She does not offer ignorant criticisms!

[narayanr]

I see ... Hung Gar and Weng Chun Kuen are related!

I believe, he has the best demonstration because it's nicely smooth and slow, you can actually follow along with him, if you are familiar with this form!!!!

@SijoJay Oh c'mon. I wasn't exactly bashing him - I said it may just be due to age - in fact his techniques are solid, IMO! Someone was asking why he was doing the form like that - well beginners whose shape to copy - after all there are plenty of other vids w/ better SHAPES/FORMs, nothing more. In fact, a very famous Karate master that everyone else praises here on youtube (whom I won't mention) receives critiques for form from my sensei but he acknowledges the effectiveness of the techniques.

this forms done very slow &intense but i kinda like it

[SijoJay]

also, for those of you bashing this masters form/technique, I would like to see any of you at his age do better. obviously you have never seen an elderly master perform. i bet none of you disrespectful punks would challenge this old man or his students! if i was the teacher of you disrespectful punks and saw your comments, i would take you to this master, make you kow tow, and wouldn't teach you another lesson till he forgave you!

[SijoJay]

it is amazing to me how ignorant martial arts practitioners can be. just because a form isn't exactly the same as the popular version you may have learned doesn't mean it isn't the same style/system. you learn Wong Fei Hung/Lam Sai Wing branch and think that is the only branch of Hung Family, just like Wing Chun practitioners learn Ip Man branch and think it is the only branch of Wing Chun. knowledge is priceless, gain some!

[FoieGras]

From what I've experienced though, many techniques are very similar. IMO, Hung Gar and Shotokan are very good compliments. After training in both, you'll be able to fine-tune your body with elements of each.

Btw, this guy's form isn't good at all if you were wondering, but it may just be due to age (Karateka are the same but once you've been hit, whoa!)

[FoieGras]

Karate punch, hip twist and everything. Then you see that there are softer circular moves around it. Defeating hardness with softness, overcoming softness with hardness. At the beginning stages, there is rhythm but after you get good, it should have no rhythm at all and all the moves should flow into one another with tensions within the movement itself, a big contrast from Karate's well defined perspective of the fight.

@nico52015 Well I've practiced Hung Gar and am now in Shotokan, so from what I've seen is that Karate's great for fine-tuning movements that are for power. There's a great emphasis on Zanshin and Kime, ready for anything. Nevertheless, from the way people spar (esp. in the lower levels), the moves are rigid, usually meeting force with force. In Kung Fu, the emphasis is in mixing softness within the hardness. You can see there are movements for power 1:27 for example, is very similar to a

@wonphi thanks for the answer

[wonphi]

@nico52015 the rythym, power and balance depends on who is doing the form. Frankly I can tell you this. this guy is either doing the form like this on purpose to show the sequence, or he just isn't very good.

this guy isn't even a master in kung fu, but you can tell he knows what he is doing.
