Chu Gar Mantis and Chuka Shaolin…

Are they the same between Chu Gar Praying Mantis and Chuka Shaolin Kungfu? Chu Gar Tong Long was created by a Ming’s Rayol family, a female named Chu Ah Nam. Who’s the one created the Chuka Shaolin? Was Chuka Shaolin the origianl name for that style? In Hong Kong Sifu Dung Yi Lung is Chu Gar Tong Long Master and an actor named Law Mong is also a Chu Gar Tong Long fighter from Shaw Brother’s Movies Studio. Back in the 70, Law Mong once issued an open challege to Leung Ting, but LT never came out to fight Law Mong, that’s a report in HK press. The reason for this event , according to HK press, that time LT was supposed to be a fight scene set director, he demand Law Mong and some Taiwan actors to do certain fight scenes, but LT couldn’t do it himself and had many problems with others. Later, Director Cheung Zhi has had to let LT go. But Law Mong is a famous Chu Gar Mantis fighter and he’s from Hakka kungfu lineage.

fire hawk and handsome

isnt it strange that a nun can develop one of the most powerful systems in kung fu. i wonder if the reason for this system was for women to develop ging so that they can bet men that use more external punching, if you know what i mean.

i havent seen chu gar but i have had that book of chuka shaolin for many years. it is similar to southern mantis!

do you practise chu gar and is there any videos out that i can buy? :smiley:

peace

I WONDER if CHU AH NAM the women that you are reffering to might be LEOW FAH SHIH KOO or maybe one of the CHU sisters CHU MEOW ENG and CHU MEOW LUAN.I have also herd other branches of southern mantis say that CHU AH NAM is a man strange.

Hi fiercest tiger i have seen Chu Gar southern mantis on a video on a southern mantis website but they did not have any tapes for sale on Chu gar southern mantis i do know of some websites that sell CHOW GAR and JOOK LUM southern mantis videos.There is a second PHOENIX EYE FIST book out called THE SECRETS OF PHOENIX EYE FIST KUNG FU THE ART OF CHUKA SHAOLIN by authors CHEONG CHENG LEONG and MARK V WILEY ISBN 0-8048-3178-5 this second book list all the hand and weapons forms and shows 1 of the 2 man forms and the staff form of the style.

Chu Ah Nam --Chu Gar Praying Mantis’s Sijo

Chu Ah Nam is a woman from the Ming’s royal Chu family. My brother has known some of the Chu Gar Mantis family–from Chu’s family in HK about a decade ago. His sources comes from the Chu Gar Tong Long grandmaster himself.( too bad, i forgot his name ). There was a story between Chu Gar and Chow Gar. Chu Gar and Chow Gar are sopposed to be same families. It’s a mistake made by few generations ago, Chu and Chow are sounded almost the same in Hakka and some local contonese dialects, that caused some poeple called their Chu Gar , changed to Chow Gar. That’s a big mistake for the Chow Gar. And many Chu Gar Mantis Practioners tell the same story.

Chu Gar Tong Long is the first and the most original southern short range combat system. Later, somehow Chow Gar and other southern mantis boxings come out.

i dont know if Chu Ah Nam and Chuka Shoalin’s Chu’s sisters were related it or not? But after the Manchu took over China from Han people, there were hugh numbers of the Royal Chu family spread out all over the southern Chinasea and everywhere.
Many of Chu’s members were belonged to the secret boxer socities and have a very strong connection with many kungfu systems. Chu Gar Mantis boxing and Chuka Shoalin boxing are part of this past history…just my 2 cents
