Still the Best Introduction to Hung Gar for the Actual Student,
By
This review is from: Hung Gar Kung-Fu (Paperback)
This nice, thick volume was renowned Sifu Bucksam Kong's first mass-market book on Hung Gar style, which was later followed by the more advanced Tiger Crane Book. Originally published in the 1970's and having gone through a 10-year period of being out of print and hard to obtain, this volume has recently been reissued by the publisher with a colorful new cover. The timeless "meat" in the pages between the covers is still the same, however! Hung Gar Gung Fu combines strength with speed and often inpressive low stances reminicrent og Goju Ryu. This volume includes complete instruction on the basics of this style, from vital points, stance work, striking, kicking, and deflecting, to the first form, the Two-Man Sparring Set. A superb and complete introduction to Hung Gar style. Bucksam Kong is one of the foremost authorities on this style, and has also published a number of DVDs which detail the Hung Gar and Lau Gar schools. You will find older editions of this book with the original bright gold cover/

one of Ohara's 70s classics,
By rickey l. esteves sr (san francisco, ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hung Gar Kung-Fu (Paperback)
A very comprehensive little book on Hung Gar boxing by a fine artist.Includes:breathing,stretching,stances,form&application,footwork diagrams for each movement,as well as informative reading.Back in the 70s Ohara was pretty much THE source for martial arts guidebooks and they set a standard that is still very competitive with the newly pulished works of today.This book along with:Wing Chun-James Yimm lee,Sil Lum kung fu-Leo T. Fong,Choy Lay Fut-Leo Fong,White Crane gung fu-Michael Staples,and Muay Thai Kickboxing-Hardy Stockman,are all fine examples of Ohara's great martial arts books of the 70s.

Husband wanted this book and since he is spoiled (lol) I let him get it. He loves it still. He doesn't have time to do the things he's learned but when he does he uses this book.
