A little history of him
Born in 1847, Wong is recognized as the Father of modern Hung Gar. He is especially renowned for his integrity, righteousness and moral values. Wong faced challenges by many skilled and famous fighters during his lifetime, but none were able to defeat him. Eventually, his reputation as a skilled and moral Gung-Fu master spread throughout China.
By his early twenties, Wong was known as one of the “Ten Fighters of Canton”, a title bestowed upon the most skilled fighters in the area. As an adult, he taught Gung-Fu to the Navy in Canton and the Fifth Regiment of the Gwan Dong Army. Upon moving to Fukien, he became the right-hand man of General Tong Gin Cheong. Tong was a resistance fighter who opposed the oppressive Ching government. During the late Ching dynasty, Wong opened two herbal medicine shops. He developed his own Dit Da medicine, and established a reputation as one of the top four physicians in Southern China.
One of WongÂ’s greatest legacies to Hung Gar was his development of the Fu Hok Sheong Yin Kuen, or the Tiger and Crane set. This technique helped to formalize Hung GarÂ’s major techniques. Wong is also famous for choreographing both the Tiger Tail Kick and the Shadowless Kick. He died in 1933 at the age of 83. -

Come to think of it, I can barely find other types of arts under that association. Wushu is wushu, but contemporary ones (those you see in competitions).Originally posted by larrenV2.003:I think Hong Quan is not recognise under the Singapore Athletes for martial arts association.
Who have heard of xingyiquan, hung gar, mok gar, lau gar etc? I doubt many know. -

Hung Gar is hong jia quan. Hung is a surname, while Gar means family. So it is Hong family fist. Directly translated.Originally posted by miaow1988:who is hung gar????? Same goes for the Gars. -

He is more on the no shadow kick leh...so it has no relation to his quan(fist) so no plagarism is involved here...Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:luan luan lai. After Wong Fei Hong comes out from coffin then you know.
