Wellcome to Scunthorpe HUNG GAR KUNG FU

Hung Gar, or Hung Ga is a southern Chinese martial art belonging to the southern shaolin styles. It is associated with the Cantonese folk hero Wong Fei Hung, Hung Gar master and fondator of the style.

The hallmarks of the Wong Fei-Hung lineage of Hung Gar are deep low stances, notably the "ma pou¹" horse stance, and strong hand techniques, notably the bridge hand² and the versatile tiger claw³. Traditionally, students spent anywhere from months to three years in stance training, often sitting only in horse stance from half an hour to several hours at a time, before learning any forms. Each form could then take a year or so to learn, with weapons learned last. In current times, this mode of instruction is generally considered impractical for students, who have other concerns beyond practicing kung fu. However, some instructors still follow traditional guidelines and make stance training the majority of their beginner training. Hung Ga is sometimes mis-characterized as solely external-that is, reliant on brute physical force rather than the cultivation of qi even though the student advances progressively towards an internal focus
