I usually post in the northern shaolin forum. I spent a lot of my time in northern China learning Kung fu. I wish to return to china in February, but the weather in the north is very cold, so i would like to spend two months in guangdong province.
What should i train???
I am a northern Shaolin stylist, spent some time in wudang and i have practiced a lot of Wing Chun. I want to try something unlike the northern styles i am used to.
I love all Kung Fu regardless, i like to practice internal and external, practical and flamboyant.
In the winter the further south the better. My first guess would be Foshan. What styles are there? 5 animals? 5 ancestors? Tiger Crane? White Crane? White eyebrow? Eternal springtime? Southern Mantis? Luohan Quan? Hong family? Lau family? Choy li fut? Mizhong? Help!
Foshan - plenty of different families of WCH, good CLF school (Fatsaan Hung sing Gwun), good lung ying/Baak mei, plenty of other systems. Guangzhou is near - good Hap ga there, again WCH, CLF (Bak sing, Chan Family), lung ying/Baakmei…
one of my friends will be in Foshan in the end of January, he might help you if you like

In Tai San, there’s my Sifu Frank Yee Chi Wai. He teaches traditional Hung Ga kung fu there. You can contact him through the Yee’s website: www.yeeshungga.com.
You won’t find a better or more knowledgeable Hung Ga teacher in all of China.
There is a huge ammount of southern kung fu to choose from.
@ Sifu Yui
Thats cool, a few years ago a friend of mine stayed in taishan and he gave me a card for that exact school. I lost it but i remember the logo.
They said it was a really nice area to stay in and that the school and training was friendly and really good.
THat may be a good place to start, THe style of Huang Fei Hong.
But keep the replies coming, I would like to expand my knowledge of the southern styles, if i like it i will stay longer.
And I agree, it is only my opinion, your results and opinions may differ

Of course it’s your opinion
but for you to have an actual basis for that opinion, you would have had to have studied with every hung ga sifu in all of china in order to make such a comparison
since you obviously could not have, it’s a fallacy of reasoning, not to mention blatant hyperbole
now, for example you could have said that you thought he was the best hung ga sifu in all of china who used to teach in a Grand St walk-up - that statement could be easily supported without fear of contradiction
Hung Gar, White Crane, Praying Mantis, Wing Chun, Choy Li Fut, myriad family styles.
there’s a lot there and in one trip, you’re not going to absorb much. I would just go and enjoy myself. But then I already got kungfu to take with… so, I’d probably just practice what I already have.
