Hung Gar Forms

[crazymaddrunk]

anyone here studying HG ever hear of these forms?

Teet Sao
No Lick Kuen

any information on these?

[crazymaddrunk]

what's so funny, jerk? these are forms I just read about, but are not in my lineage...

funny how you like to follow me around, it must be love...

Teet Sao probably means "iron hand"

No Lick Kuen I wouldn't have the foggiest clue. Lick could be lik or lek, which refers to power. The no could be "noi" which means internal.

Either way, these are not standard forms within the Wong Fei Hung lineage of Hung Gar. Your standard forms in the Wong Fei Hung lineage are Gung Gee Fuk Fu Kuen (Taming the Tiger), Fu Hok Cern Ying Kuen (Tiger and Crane), either Ng Ying (five animals) or Sup Ying Kuen (ten shapes) depending on your lineage, and then Tit Sin Kuen (iron wire).

Peace :D

Behave like good martial artist.
As a matter of fact CMD Illusionfist is correct: Teet (tit) Sao is Iron Hand. No Lick Kuen or Noi Lek Kuen is Internal Strength Fist.
Some schools teach these as minor forms, but are add ons and not pure Hung Forms.

mono68,

Peronsally, I've never heard of those forms before (throughout varying lineages of Hung Kuen that I've studied). Do you know what lineage these forms are from?

Peace :D

Illusionfist:

Hung Jap or mixed Hung Styles tend to incorporate. I met once a Teacher from Toisan who incorporated into his system. As per lineage I vaguely remeber this teacher mentioning he was not from the WHF, but from the Hung Moon.

Just to be fair, there are a few schools in addtion to the ones listed by ctoepker in the bay area that teaches the WFH lineage Hung Gar without the extra forms you mentioned. I think they all teach some "extras" besides those mentioned by illusionfist which is what we call the "pillar" forms.

YC Wong in SF. He used to teach out of Oakland Chinatown but I don't see it on the website

BTW, good time to mention the new book that just came out. Early feedback is this is a very comprehensive book on Hung Gar concepts. It's not a forms book.
