I am taught on sundays by master ang. The horse stance is a killer but i am geting used to it i think its easier because i did shotokan first low stances etc. I am really enjoying it and i actually love the conditioning because i know it is good for me.

EDIT=I am hurting so much today!

Thats an ok site... Wikipedia has a pretty good article on it too from what I've read! Do you know what lineage you practice?

That's great you've decided to try Hung-Ga. There's a steep learning curve in the begining stages. Remember there's a method to the madness. Stances, bridge conditioning, basic drills & Gung Ji form will make up most of your initial training.

In our lineage there are four hand & seven weapon forms:

-Gung Ji Fook Fu/Subduing the tiger in an "I" pattern

-Fu Hok Seung Ying/Tiger & Crane double form

-Ng Ying Kuen/Five animals fist

-Tiet Sing Kuen/Iron wire fist

-Broadsword, Pole, Butterfly Swords, Spear, Tiger Fork, Kwan Dao & Fan
