洪拳

I prefer the pinyin Chinese pronunciation Hóng quán, but Hung Gar is the most common Westernized spelling. There is also Hung Keun and Hung Chuan. While none of us can seem to agree on the proper way to spell or say it, one thing we do seem to agree on is our love for training one of the most healthy and vigorous martial arts on the planet.

Hóng quán style boxing is the cornerstone of the five family styles of traditional Chinese martial arts, and it's easy to see why. Low powerful stances, and animal influenced hand movements make it hard to contend with this formidable style. Incredible Health benefits and an overall sense of well-being permeate every crevice of this extraordinary art. 

The hand forms at the core of the system are intricate catalogs of complex fighting motions broken down into basic postures. Slowly memorizing the form, the student is able to prepare for the integration of the practical fighting techniques. Within the framework of the form, the fighting techniques can be rapidly memorized and with regular practice absorbed permanently. This makes a strong foundation for you no matter what styles you pursue in the future.
