There is no blocking, you must penetrate, and use space to your advantage.
There are many striking differences in hop gar kung fu that make it unique, they encompass the four main spectrums of any fighting art: 1. There is No Blocking - You must develop a new skill set that allows you to intercept and penetrate.
2. Physically unique - literally add four inches to your reach as you move.
3. Philosophy & Mind Set - Absolutely clarifies purpose and reason
4. The Footwork - Tremendous emphasis on patterns of footwork that combine with the unique hands that allow you to deliver punches without being in the same place.
Tibetan Hop Gar Kung Fu is so unique and rare that it is not meant for all students. The physical expectations, the mind set required, and its purity creates incredible opportunities to reach new levels.
Master Chin has a book that goes into greater depth about Tibetan hop gar kung fu.
The most important aspect of Hop Gar is it's footwork, called 'Kay Men Bo'. The footwork is developed through the Mu Fa Jeong training. Interlinking the combinations of hands with the five patterns of footwork gives Hop Gar tremendous depth. |
