Hung Ga Bridge Hands (Kiu Sau)Question: Hello Sifu Macek. I was was just wondering if you could help me with the “Bridging Hands”, how important are they in Hung Gar.

Hung Ga Kyun SoundsQuestion: Why do we use and when should we use the corresponding sounds for each animal and technique in a form?

Is there a deeper meaning? Is there a rhythm we should follow, or should we use a couple of sounds every so often?

Answer: Shouting sounds is one of the typical features of southern Chinenese martial arts – “Crying out lout, making sounds” (Fu Hok Jok Seng in Cantonese). For example, in Fat Saan Hung Sing Choi Lei Fat they use “Yik!” for strikes, “Wa!” for claws and “Tek!” for kicks.

In our Hung Kyun basic sets, we usually use “Hei!”, “Hai!” or “Hit!” for strikes, “Wa!” for Tiger Claws. Other lineages use other sounds as well, for example “Sss!” for snake finger thrusts. Continue reading →
