The system is based on meditation, breath
control and various fighting forms that develop body co-ordination. Hung Fut
is a combat method that uses economy of movement in order to achieve
efficiency. Its strategies are to try to throw the opponent into an awkward
position that makes defense difficult and counter attack unlikely. There is
no need to keep contact with an opponent, as the system uses interchangeable
and flexible movements. The system
also includes techniques from Fut Gar and ten animal styles (snake, tiger,
leopard, lion, eagle, crane, monkey, elephant, horse and dragon) as well as
8 drunken immortal forms (based on the personality traits of the 8 heavenly
deities of Chinese traditional religion), 4 "crippled" forms (a deceptive
mimicry of one who is crippled) and a left- handed form (based on the legend
of a famous general fighting while holding the infant son of a Chinese
emperor). |
