Gong Gee Fuk Fu Kuen
This is the oldest form within the Hung Gar System which constantly helps develop oneself physically as well as mentally, internally and spiritually. This form originates from the Siu Lum (shaolin) temple of Fukien province developed by Hung Hei Goon after his intense training with Abbot Gee Sing. Gong Gee is the first set taught in the Hung Gar System demonstrating the essence of the style. This is known as one of the longest and toughest forms in the system which sets the foundation with its strong stance work and teaches all the basics of the Hung Gar System.
Fu Hok Seung Ying Kuen
This is the most famous and popular of the Hung Gar forms first created by Hung Hei Gwoon combining his tiger actions with his wife's Fong Wing Chun's soft & fluid crane system. However this was later modified by the great master Wong Fei Hung using his excellent knowledge and experience to the version we see today.
This form utilizes the natural actions of the Tiger and Crane and combines these with Hung Gars famous "12 bridge hands" creating a formidable set of actions. Foo Hok Seung Ying also helps develop the body's hard physical power (gong) and soft internal power (yao) leading to a better understanding of ones body and surroundings. This form is truly the essence of the Hung Gar System developing the practitioner's basics further and introducing more advance Hung Gar theories.
Sup Ying Kuen
Sup Ying Kuen was created by Wong Fei Hung as a bridge form between Fu Hok Seung Ying Kuen and Tid Sin Kuen. This advanced form teaches the five animals and five elements as well as other important concepts of the style. Each one of these animals and elements has their own unique characteristics, philosophy and movements which help to develop the practitioner's concept of the style.
This form has a wealth of information there to be unlocked and this can only be achieved through hard work, dedication & patience. One must remember that a form can be leant in just a few years but may take a lifetime to truly understand.
Tid Sin Kuen
Tid Sin Kuen, Iron wire Fist is the most advanced form taught in Hung Gar. This form was created by Tid Kiu Sam one of the "Ten Tigers of Kwuntung" who earned the nick name Tid Kiu Sam because of his amazing skills in kung fu, his iron wire training and 1000 pound horse stance.
This form utilizes the mythical dragons limited footwork, movements and spirit with the combination of the 12 bridges, breathe control, sounds, emotions and the 5 elements. With each of these 12 bridges hands there are different sounds used to stimulate different organs and generate chi, moving it to specific areas around the body. This in turn would develop the practitioner's 12 bridge hands into unstoppable tools creating actions that are said to be "Hard as Iron & soft as thread."
