Hung Gar is known as the Tiger-Crane style. It is based upon the kung fu system of the Five Animals: Tiger, Crane, Leopard, Dragon and Snake. Hung Gar is one of the most popular Southern Chinese systems. It fits all body types and is good for students of all ages. Strength, agility, flexitility, coordination and stamina are physical quailties that will be developed. Concentration, determination, perseverance, confidence and self-esteem are mental qualities that are going to be enhanced as a result from your participation in the martial arts.
Hung Gar emphasises low, strong stances and direct, powerful striking techniques. Children enjoy this style because the forms (or routines) taught are associated with nature and the animal kingdom. Children's behavior patterns are positively influenced with the teachings of Chinese Martial Arts.
