I would like to know anything about hung gar that anyone knows. What are the similarities between hung gar and muay thai. what are the major differences? what would have the upper in a no rules fight.

The founder of the Hung Gar style was Master Hung Hee Goon, a famous boxer who lived in the late 1700s. Although his school is popularly known as Fu-Hok Pai (Tiger and Crane style), the origin of this fighting method goes back much farther into time.

 

According to legend, a Shaolin master of the Tiger Claw style was out in his garden one day. Spotting a crane pecking away at his newly planted vegetables, the priest grabbed a stick and tried to chase the intruder away. The bird, however, eluded each swing of the stick. At one point, the crane leaped up into the air and the surprised monk found himself the victim of a furious counter-attack. Using its sharply pointed beak as a weapon, the crane became a formidable foe. The priest made a complete study of the crane's behavior and learned how this frail-looking creature would respond to various types of attack. By imitating these movements, a series of new fighting techniques based on fluidity, gracefulness, and sharp pecking attacks was developed. Combining these unusual crane tactics with his dynamic tiger claw techniques, the Shaolin monk devised a new and highly effective method of combat.
