Chiu Mo Kwoon

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."

The lion dance has long been a part of Chinese culture and folklore. The lion is traditionally regarded as a guardian creature, symbolizing strength, courage and wisdom. Lion dance is widely performed in China as a ceremony to chase away evil spirits and summon luck and fortune.

Lion dance is performed with two individuals under the lion head and body. Lion dance partners demonstrate energetic agile movements combined with strong kung fu stance work to make the lions come alive. During the Chinese New Year, the dancing lions travel through the streets, bringing joy and prosperity wherever they go. They will visit the storefront of businesses to "Choi Chang," pick the greens. Businesses usually tie a red envelope filled with money to a head of lettuce and hang the bundle high above the front door. The lion approaches the lettuce like a curious cat, consumes the lettuce with caution and spits out the leaves. Lion dances are also performed on other special occasions such as festivals, weddings and business openings.

Chiu Mo Kwoon is dedicated to continue this tradition and advance the art of Lion Dance. In 2007, our lion dance team won the Silver Medal in the International Lion and Dragon Tournament hosted in China.

Originating from southern China, our style emphasizes strong stances, firm and energetic actions and acrobatic tricks, which demonstrate the performers' kung fu skills. We offer a comprehensive lion dance curriculum covering exercises to build strength and stamina, kung fu foundations, musical instruments (drum, gong, and cymbals) and the role of Buddha. If you are interested in joining our team or booking a performance, please contact us.

Taichi is a martial Qigong style that originated in China. Qigong is an energy healing system that helps to generate and circulate internal energy, Qi or known as bioelectricity, throughout the body. The practice of Taichi helps to calm mind and relax the body. It has been proven to improve health and alleviate numerous illnesses.

Grandmaster Woo took fifty years of his martial arts experience, Taoist breathing, and Hunggar bridge hands techniques to create his own smooth and elegant Five Element Taichi Style taught at Chiu Mo Kwoon. The training aims to help learners achieve a high level of Qi cultivation and development, not just to improve health. Students seeking deeper theory and self-defense techniques will be guided to explore the complex martial applications hidden in every move.
