kiu sao is a technique very used in hung gar . is like a tigerclaw with the first finger extended .
maybe i'd was wrong and the form belong to another system .

but the certain thing that is style that combine lama pai whit hung gar .

Rain,

It depends on the lineage in question, there is great diversity. Some say Wong-Fei-Hung exchanged his 5-animal techniques with Wong-Yin-Lum for WYL's long-arm techniques.

Maybe...

My own lineage in Lion's Roar ha svery fast and fluid long arm techniuques, only superficially similar to the Hung-Gar that I have studied as a disciple of a Hung-Gar Master.

It seems that the Tibetan Tradition is so diverse that you find what you find and not necessarily what you look for.
