I met a guy in Cardiff who said he'd done it for 4 years. He said it had similarities to wing chun, without the emphasis on attacking from above. Is this correct, or did I mistake lau gar for something else? I studied Dragon Style kung-fu and whilst I don't have time to attend my school any more I still practice with one of my friends (who is in china town in boston at the moment, probably practicing). |

i remember someone here mentioning the long stances of northern shao lin. i'd be good at that because i'm 6'3" and have very long legs. the reason for northern shao lin's long stances, kicks, sweeps, and jumps is due to the geography of northern china. northern china is much more wide open, with deserts and plains. southern shao lin is more hand techniques and close quarters combat training because in southern china, there is the sea. the sea helps for the growth of forests and of course ports. ports bring in people, people make cities. the south is typically more cluttered, making it more difficult to use long stances and attacks. shao lin began at one monastary, but as more monks left into more of china, shao lin kung fu adapted to terrain and personal preference. what does lau gar mean? i know hun gar is something like tiger claw or tiger tooth. |
