The Wu Shu taught in our Academy comes from the Hung Gar style of Kung Fu. This unique art of Kung Fu develops the Internal and External energies simultaneously. This allows the mind and body to work together, making it satisfying to all people, regardless of their activeness level or age group. The most important qualities for a student of this art to have are: Patience, Tolerance, Be of Good character, Have Self-worth and Value for oneself, and Others.
Hung Gar is a style of Kung Fu that combine advanced Internal and External training regimes, it makes this art a formidable Self Defence System to learn. This Art style is suitable for all age groups. Hung style is so powerful that our master was commissioned to teach the imperial army of China and had gone into battle to defend the country against army invaders and ruthless bandits in China. Hung Gar system was a closed door art for many years and still well guarded since it’s introduced to the public back in 1800. This Academy has continued to teach the complete art to worthy students that have a good Character & Moral standing since 1985
Hung Gar Style is based on the Five Animals and Five Elements systems. The unique power and balance of the Five Animals and Five Elements training had made masters of this powerful art invincible in battle, in the days of spears and swords, since each of the five Animals and five Elements when combined, develop the mind and body towards good health, with great focus ability and will to assert oneself in life.
The Five Animals give the following benefits and ability: Tiger, Leopard, Crane/Stork, Snake, Dragon
The Five Elements give the following benefits and ability: Earth, Wood, Fire, Water, Air
Based on the Five Animals technique and the Five Elements fighting techniques, this style almost made fighters of this Style invincible in battle, as the imperial army had shown so in battle after they learn the Hung gar style of Kung Fu. Other army regiments that did not training in this art fared very badly in battles. That is why the Hung Gar style was called: Hard As Iron – Soft As a thread system.
