Martial artists help needed here - what can you tell me about Hung Gar?

[Drakmar]

O.. and just so you know.. Tiger-Crane Hung Gar and Hung Gar are different. Hung Gar has all 5 animals and the 5 elements in it.. as is the more traditional version.

it does mention that the most prominent aspects are Tiger and Crane. but that they also have all of the other animals and elements to balance it.

the reason I say this is some schools drop those things the sifu doesn't like.. say.. Snake stuff. and you lose some cool stuff.

and here is a link to the most prominent master that I know of.

To Napftor: Nothing yet.....but shipping oveseas might take a while.....(a big while)......I have to be patient

To the rest, I enlisted myself to the school and my first training begins Monday.....I am excited as hell. Wonder what they will teach me first.???

And my sifu is Jacek Œwi¹tkowski, the most prominent Polish sifu who tained under sifu Lam Chuen Ping. My sifu has a webiste:

I've just had my first training of Hung Gar......this is definitly good stuff! The training is grueling and hard and i can feel the pain in my body as I type....

But Hung Gar is definitly cool! On the lesson the sifu showed:

1 move sequence
2 types of kicks
2 types of punches
1 grab
3 types of grab escapes
2 tpes of blocks (high/low)

I think this is pretty much for a 1 lesson.....I love this stuff...although I noticed I am very skinny compared to other students.....oh well...got to practice....
