HUNG GARThis is a style of shaolin Kung fu developed by the Hung family. Many of the systems of kung fu which exist today can be traced back to the Five Animals Fist Form of Shaolin. The Southern systems of kung fu were refined into 5 major styles: Hung, Lau, Choy, Li, and Mok, named after their originators. Since then, most of them have gone through changes. However, the one which has remained relatively unchanged is the Hung Style. Based on the movements of the Tiger and the Crane, Hung Gar is deeply rooted in the basic moral principles of honesty, righteousness, and an indomitable spirit. The name "Hung" itself can translate to "standing tall with integrity."
