martialartsresearcher Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 do's anybody take jow ga kung fu? and is it effective in real combat? and is it really shaolin kung fu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Sorry, I don't know. I see no one else has replied so hmm... have you searched Google? If you're asking because you've found a school that teaches it; I advise you to call and ask to watch and/or participate in a class. Most schools will let you do that, and if they won't, I'd avoid them. Good luck. “Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword.

bustr Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 MAR Are you looking for Scott Wong's school? He has some articles over at https://www.blackbeltmag.com but doesn't have a website relating to martial arts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahgao Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Jow Gar, a combination of Hung Gar and Choy Gar, that's why there is a saying "Hung Tao Choy Mei", start with Hung ends with Choy. The system is less than 100 yrs old, founded by Zhou Long and his 4 brothers. Also another southern wushu style kungfu includes fist routines, weapon routines, combat techniques and lastly, the Jow Gar Lion Dance art.

Zhong Gau Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 yeah, i've heard of it. the guys who do it are not ma professionals, although his lion head dragon dance is featured in several jackie chan flicks and has been used for new years celebrations in china. i've not heard of that other guy someone else mentioned. Ah! Mantis Grasshopper, i think you would do very nicely on a bowl of rice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsifu Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 jow ga is a real style. many of us call it a "shaolin" style, because the origin of the style is in three shaolin systems.who was the school you saw in the ad? https://www.filipinofightingsecretslive.comhttps://www.typhoonma.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martialartsresearcher Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Jow ga school in Newport News, VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsifu Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 the sifu name there is hoy lee. he is the most senior master in america for jow ga. i think for your area, he would be the best choice (i havent been in hampton/vb in 10 years, but last time i was there, )maybe you should try it for a few months. https://www.filipinofightingsecretslive.comhttps://www.typhoonma.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
