It's popular in the UK. Unfortunately, it's not that popular in the US (including Hawaii) or many other countries around the world.

 

I learned the Lau Gar Kuen form while studying Hung Gar, but that's about the only exposure offered these days (well, except in the UK where it's popular).

To everybody lau gar kung fu has nothing to do with hung gar the style is practically extinct in china so how can anyone say it is not the same unless some can show me different . javascript:emoticon(':kaioken:')

From what I have read it hardly exists no more. There are just a couple of schools left. But a style called Hung Gar has incorporated its techniques into a form called Lau Gar. So Lau Gar is still practised as a form in Hung Gar. If you want to know more about Lau Gar look in Hung Gar for a form called Lau Gar.

Hung-Ga & Lau-Ga are separate styles. Hung Hei Guen founded Hung-Ga. Lau Sam Ngam founded Lau-Ga.

Hung,Lau,Choy,Lei,Mok make up the five family systems of the south.

I believe Fu Hok Pai(Tiger Crane Fist) practices some of the Lau-Ga forms. Traditional Hung-Ga however, does not have a Lau-Ga form in it's curriculum.
