hung gar kung fu

[KF Dude]

hey so wut's with haveing all those weird hand positions when u fight in hung gar?

Weird hand positions??? Perhaps some of the animal claws might seem strange to you. Rest assured they have specific usage for self defense. They compliment other familiar hand shapes such as the fist or palm.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, this might also be a stupid question. When u guys spar , is it like that with the hand positioning? or is normal fists?

It depends if we are wearing sparring gear or not. Gloves make it difficult to grab

well it also depends on what gloves you wear.In my school, when we spar we wear gloves that don't cover your thumb.With these gloves we can do hooking blocks to catch feet and fists.

Since my teacher teaches both I tend to practice hung gar when im in between belts in Kempo. Im able to absorb things better that way. My head would explode if I tried to learn 2 different styles, which they arent VASTLY different but they have there gaps between them, my head would explode.

so your sifu/sensei teaches a mix of the two or wut?
