Kung Fu Video Thread

is tiger crane kungfu the same as fujian white crane? i thought i read that somewhere?

 

Werd.

 

No, Tiger Crane is the same as Hung Gar

 

Very nice form in that vid. He's good.

 

"Fujian White Crane Kung Fu, once known as Tiger Crane Combination Kung Fu, has been taught by Chief Instructor Dennis Kah Swee Ngo since 1977. He has been training in this style for more than 40 years. Kung Fu is his first love, but he has achieved black belt status in some of the Japanese arts as well." -http://www.fwckungfu.com/styles;jsessionid=002E8A298D469E6FF5A3553F1D0E3B33

 

Those people have no clue what they are talking about.

 

Tim...Not related to Hung Kuen at all.

The Tiger and Crane Of Hung Gar was popularized by Wong Fei Hung's systemization of the Hung Kuen he had learned from his family and others in the Canton Ten Tigers. The set contains most of the signature moves of Hung. Lam Sai Wing, a top disciple of WFH was also known as ''Mr. Tiger and Crane'' in Canton and HK. The Tiger and Crane in HK and the west in general is pretty much synonymous with Hung Gar Kuen.

Another interesting tidbit is that Hung Gar was originally just known as Siu Lam(Shaolin) in the south. The Hung Fist was used to cover up the Shaolin connection in order to hide from the Ching goverment.

Yes, I know no actual kung fu (except a silly school boy's imitation of hou quan) is there, but this was after kung fu class and I thought it might cheer someone up on a bad day.
