The history surrounding the fighting arts in and around China is extremely vague. This is mostly due to hiding the arts from the Manchu鈥檚 during their rule over the Chinese. I have read a number of accounts and stories about the development of Kung Fu and although there are many similarities there are also are a great number of contradictions. I am not telling you that this is 鈥淭HE鈥?true account of Kung Fu鈥檚 history but rather a gathering of terms and events that bring us out of the darker ages. More historical notes will be included in future lessons.
Lau Gar Kuen (Lau Family Boxing)
Lau Gar Kuen is derived from a form of boxing practiced at Kuei Ling Temple situated in Kong Sai Province in west China. It was learned from a monk on retreat from that temple by the master Lau Sam Ngan or 鈥淭hree Eyed Lau鈥? a tiger hunter Quinnen Williams Color Rush Jersey , whom is honoured as founder of the style. The style subsequently became popular over a large part of South West China.
It is said that Lau Sam Ngan was taught by the Shaolin Abbott Gee Sin Sim See, who was the same man who taught Hung hei Goon, the founder of Hung Gar Kuen.
The similarities between Hung Gar and Lau Gar are many, even today after several hundred years of evolution. So begs the question 鈥榃ere they more or less the same art when originally taught by the Shaolin Abbott鈥?
As there is no evidence that the Two founders of the separate styles were classmates under the Abbott Gee Sim, the differences in the Two arts might have simply come about due to the ever-evolving stages that all martial arts teachers go through during the course of their careers. As no clear picture will ever be painted of the actual history and events Le'Veon Bell Color Rush Jersey , all is left is to take the facts.
Lau Gar Kuen was openly practiced to quite a large extent in Kwantung province during the Ching dynasty (1644 鈥?1911). As it was becoming more of a popular Southern system, it shares many characteristics such as short bridges (close range combat) and higher stances than the Northern Kung fu Systems. People have referred to Lau Gar Kuen as a slightly longer range Wing Chun (Wing Chun is famous for it鈥檚 short bridges and efficiency in close quarter combat).
The 鈥楥at Stance鈥?is the preferred standing posture for Lau Gar Kuen practitioners, as it develops the ability to root to the ground (channel energy) from the single standing leg. As well as requiring better balance it also encourages short snappy front kicks from the unweighted front leg.
It is believed that Lai Ng Sam introduced Lau Gar Kuen into our line of Hung Gar whilst travelling through Southern China with his teacher Hung Yat Siu who was a herbalist, and it was from him that Lai Ng Sam learned his Kung Fu.
Hung Yat Siu spent many years fighting the Japanese, living in various temples as part of a Guerrilla movement. After his fighting days C.J. Mosley Color Rush Jersey , Hung became a monk and due to his deteriorating eyesight, he sent his students to near by Kung Fu schools to broaden there knowledge of the arts, and it is here that our lineage adopt the various Lau Gar Kuen forms.
We are based in Chippenham, Wiltshire. The DMAS (Dandridge Martial Arts School) association developed out of the NKAGB (Northern Kung fu Association of Great Britain) association which master Dandridge began back in 1994. The NKAGB taught the Elephant form fist Kung fu system, then over time also added other systems that Master Dandridge studied. Those systems include Wing Chun Kung fu Curtis Martin Color Rush Jersey , Escrima and Hung Gar Kune kung fu as well as the Elephant form fist. All the systems taught come under one heading for ease of management.

BOSTON, Mass. - June 14 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Buildium, LLC announced today the introduction of two new check printing options designed to help streamline accounts payable for landlords and property managers; customers can now independently print MICR-encoded checks on blank check stock or they can outsource check printing and mailing using Buildium's online EZ Mailer(TM) service.
"Although other shrink-wrap software products have check-printing capabilities," Michael Monteiro Black Jordan Jenkins Jersey , partner and co-founder of Buildium, LLC, explained, "many, like QuickBooks Black Darron Lee Jersey , are only compatible with pre-printed checks because selling consumables is a money maker for many software companies. While that may work for people with only a few checks to print, monthly, it doesn't work for landlords and property managers who write dozens of checks from multiple accounts."
Buildium addresses this need by providing customers with the ability to print the entire check, including the MICR line, on inexpensive Black ArDarius Stewart Jersey , blank check stock.
In addition to the new check writing options, Buildium's (www.Buildium) property management software allows landlords and property managers to track property income, expenses, and liabilities with full-featured accounting designed with property management in mind.
