Hung Gar Kuen - Lau Gar Kuen - The structure of the Lau family: Chinese Martial Arts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798346020059)

Lau Gar was originally a secret system taught only to people with the surname Lau. It was adopted by Hung Gar and became a standard part of his curriculum. Lau Gar was popularized by the famous master Lau Kar Leung, director and star of many great martial arts films. The Lau clan of Canton has a three-set system of KungFu (one set of punches, one set of hands, and one set of stick) that was adopted by the Hung Kuen school and is commonly retained as a component of the Hung curriculum. This is the first of these, a short set with great emphasis on muscle building and short, fast execution in a square pattern.
Grandmaster Giuseppe Cucci through the principle of circularity in the execution of blocks and the use of closing and opening access of attacks wants to present the principles of fluidity and power characteristic of the Hung Gar style.The SHKAI school teaches the Hung Gar style in the way it is still practiced in Hong Kong. Each form develops body coordination and breath control, their scope, from simple fundamentals, moves to complex techniques training mind, body and spirit together. Kuen are composed of hundreds of movements, difficult to learn as a self-taught practitioner; it is, in fact, necessary to have the careful supervision of an expert.
