Harutomo:
Those are some tough dudes

[PM]

ha ha, so or so, Chuck is definitelly a "long-bridge" dude

[Harutomo]

Rising Crane: yes, I do not understand how they can recover from such fights, and they have 2 fights in one month sometimes.
If you like then this one is the toughest I ever seen, enjoy

Harutomo:
Thanks, I really enjoyed that! It does show that without the boxing gloves and with the threat of the leg kicks- the punches look more like hap gar than boxing. I think for hap gar people- we should study that clip for an impression of the ferocity and intensity of the fight. But then- why didn't one of them just use a crane's beak and end the fight?

PM: Thanks for putting up that video- as soon as I saw it I thought "Those punches are not just 'like hap gar' - they ARE hap gar."
I did a little 'googling' -maybe this is already common knowledge- but it was new to me:

Cheuk Tse was a student of Ng Ying Ming (Hap Gar Grandmaster).
He taught Hap Gar to A. Emerado (Kenpo Grandmaster) - James Mitasi - William Chow - Walter Godin - John Hackleman - Chuck Lidell
So that's how come Chuck has a Kup Choi

[PM]

ha ha ha, cool, so we have a Hap Ga guy in MMA (and to be candid, i really like Chuck Lidell - not only a excellent fighter with magnificent konckout power, but also a nice guy)

keep us updated about your upcoming Hap Ga article!

Shooting the photos tonight
This is going to be about the 'long bridges' of Hap Gar. Basic strikes (Lam pow kup gwa, bin) and power training.
If you want to see combinations and set ups- you'll have to watch the 'Burmese boxing' video above.

This whole clip is beautiful- but to bring back to topic:
Watch 1:55.
Kup Choi masterclass
It proves if you have beautiful evasion skills and almost supernatural sense of timing, you can even use long bridges against top level boxers- he is one in a million, though. If most people tried that kind of a move they would not have such luck!
