Pak Lai
Hung Gentle White Bear Shaolin Kung Fu Instructional Martial Arts Website Hmmm... GENTLE white bear, interesting name for a style of kung fu... supposedly brutal fighting system... but then them big white bears only look gentle, i'd not like to tackle one!!! Pak Lai Hung is a Street-Fighting style, it has developed to make you very effective at holding your own on the street. you don't get 'pak lai hung' competitions as the dead people and broken limbs would be a put-off for most. In here i've tried to put together some pages covering the details of the style. it may seem like a lot of material, but it barely covers the basics - enough to get you through your first few belts. ;) As the site grows and develops i'll try to cover everything in enough detail that you can follow it and learn from it - but this is no substitute for a real class - however clear things are on here you obviously get no correction on what you are doing. Videos, photos etc will all be included in due course. For anyone here who thinks some of the material looks familiar.... it was originally www.gungfu.info which i took down a couple of years ago, and now no longer own. Pak Lai Hung (Gentle White Bear) Gung-Fu (also known as Kung Fu) is a traditional chinese fighting art and dates back over 1000's of years. For those of you that dont know me, I have been studying Pak Lai Hung (a style of Shaolin Kung Fu) since the summer of 1999. Over time we hope to cover many martial arts and training methods, from many different aspects. So, if anyone out there has found this page and would like to offer any pictures, suggestions, comments, articles, techniques, forms, pages etc etc, please let me know!! - ant@kacards.com Pak Lai Hung originates in southern China, The provence of Honan. There were two main orders, Shaolin and Tai-Chi. Pak Lai Hung is a style of Shaolin and roughly translates to Gentle White Bear In this martial art there are 8 belts - White, Yellow, Orange, Red, Green, Blue, Brown, Black. After taking your black belt there are 2 further grades, Junior Instructor, then Senior Instructor. We do not have "dan's" like they do in many other arts. The art focuses on the use of your body as it is and does not include the use of weapons as part of the grading system, though weapons are taught in addition to the curriculum. |
