Hi,
Was the Guangdong (Canton) province known for any particular style? The reason why I ask is because a relative of mine was a sifu back in the mid-1800 then he came to the US for the gold rush. I have an awesome antique photo of him. All my family remembers was that he had a kung fu school in Guangdong. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hung-Ga is one system that came out of Guangdong. Basically, if you look up the Guangdong Sup Fu-Ten Tigers of Guangdong, you will see other systems that were probably taught there as well.
Pretty much the major southern systems were all taught there,CLF,WC, etc
Gwongdung (Guangdong) province is famous for many systems:
5 family systems: Hung, Lau, Choi, Lei, Mok
Choi Lei Fat
Wingcheun
Lama Paai (Hap Ga, Baak Hok)
Lung Ying
Baak Mei
Fat Ga
Hung Fat
