I'm studying Shaolin kung-fu and I really like it but someone told me that I should learn Hung-Gar kung-fu because it has a lot more to offer me. Is this true or is it B.S.

 

Does anyone here know what the difference between the 2 styles? :-?

the only person who can really say what you need is yourself.... if you like where you are, stay there, when you start to feel you need something else, then move on.

SubmissionFighter,

 

That is great advice you gave to Shaolin Fighter. :up:

 

Shaolin Fighter,

 

It's all up to you what you like.i've been in martial arts 21yrs and just found the style that fits me 2yrs ago.My problem was i listened to everyone else and that does'nt work.What works for me might not work for you or vice versa.I've studied Northern Shaolin and Hung Gar.If those are the two you're talking about? They are worlds apart from each other.

 

Northern Shaolin (Bak Sil Lum) is a longrange system with alot of high flashy kicks and pretty flowing techniques.

 

Hung Gar is a southern style meaning there is more hand techniques and a solid foundation.

 

The two are nothing alike.When i started N.Shaolin i thought Hung Gar was boring because N.Shaolin used alot of flashy techniques.

 

But....When i started Hung Gar i thought N.Shaolin had a lot of wasted moves and techniques.It depends on what you're looking for they're both awesome styles.The style i study now Black Tiger is a sister art to Hung Gar ,but has longrange techniques like N.Shaolin.So i guess i got the best of both worlds. :D
