Why you should learn Hung Gar
General
The combination of grueling low and wide stances, deadly hand techniques and rigorous internal training makes Hung Gar one of the most balanced and formidable kung fu styles.
Hung Gar was the kung fu style practiced by Chinese national heroes like Hung Hei Gun and Wong Fei Hong, and the style remains very well regarded in Chinese circles today. Hung Gar is popularised in Hong Kong movies and TV shows, including the movie "Kung Fu Hustle”. It also features heavily in the early Jet Li movie series of "Once upon a time in China", where it was used to devastating effect by Wong Fei Hung.
Hung Gar is a power style with an emphasis on developing your strength and body condition through powerful breathing and isometric exercises. Your power comes from a very strong and wide stance - Hung Gar has one of the lowest stances in Chinese kung fu. While this makes the style slower than others, this is more than compensated by the strength of the techniques. Your punches are hard and your kicks are low. In a fight, you string together the techniques to form relentless combinations that can easily overwhelm your opponent.
History
Hung Gar is a member of the family of kung fu styles known as Southern Kung Fu. Legend has it that it was founded in the early Qing Dynasty in Fujian Province, China, by the tea merchant Hung Hei Gun.
Hung Hei Gun was a pupil of the Abbott monk Jee Sin of the Southern Shaolin Temple, and founded Hung Gar (lit. Hung Style) after he accomplished his studies.
The name Hung Hei originates from a desire to restore the Ming Dynasty, which was overthrown by the Manchus when they founded the Qing Government. "Hung” was the name of the first Ming Emperor, Hung Wu. The issue had been particularly sensitive as the Manchus were foreigners not of the Han Chinese race when they conquered China.
Hung Gar was one of the essential arts that must be learnt by the Heaven and Earth Society set up to overthrow the Qing Government. In the old times, the goal for learning Hung Gar has always been taught as to "restore the Ming Dynasty”.
Evolution
Early Hung Gar is characterized by a relatively higher stance with short bridge (i.e. short distance) hand techniques that emphasized economy of motion. In modern times, Hung Gar has incorporated elements from other Southern Kung Fu styles to adopt a lower stance, with a balance between long and short bridge hands. The spirit of Hung Gar has also evolved into that of being more passive, such that action is taken only in reaction to an act by the opponent, but such action must be quicker and strike the opponent first.
