Pitbull ni hao I believe as the staff there, you can't "touch" all those xiao jie even though you got chances  ;D Not shaving xiao jie also common among the Greek, and Italian. They say it's more "appealing."  Your clients are they just common player, or high rollers a.k.a. whales? Cheers. |

Getting back to Hung Gar and White Crane.
When I was studing shaolin, I had to spend about a month with a Hung Gar teacher.
As what was mentioned earlier, Hung Gar actually has severial traditions (unrelated lineages), you need to be specific to make such a complarision.
However, from the little I have seen of both (Jimmy Yang's white crane and I can't remember the style of HG) I learned that the southern WC system was more for infighting and relying more on the two hands working together (mother-son concept) as palm strike or finger gabs.
The HG I was exposed to relied more on the hands and feet being indenpendent. The Beek and claws were the main weaponds.

I found a piece of text back about Animal play (Ng Sau Kuen) and a linked poem:
Dragon (mind – hard/ soft), Tiger (bones - aggression), Snake (chi – flowing power), Crane (essence – changing and light skill techniques), and Leopard becomes Monkey (dexterity - expression).
The Ng Ying Ng Hang Kuen (read Sap Ying Kuen): an intermediate form.
-------------------------
Poem:
The Tiger has the might of descending the mountain and exiting the forest,
The Crane holds the intention of resting the limbs and pecking its food,
The Dragon shows the grace of flying from the clouds, twisting and coiling,
The Snake has the form of passing through grass with swiftness and agility,
While the Monkey has the attitude of climbing the trees to steal objects.
Kind regards,
Evert.

Okay, some more Cantonese systems with crane skills. #1 - Hung Kuen or "Red" Fist. This system is based on Fukien 5 animals fighting system according to Leung Ting - that's right the Wing Chun Sifu. Leung authored 2 books on this system. #2 - Hung Fut's version of "crane standing by the brooke".   |
