Here is Pt. 1 of video i have from a old Hong Kong Kung Fu tournament. The first player appears to be Hung Ga, followed by a Choy Li Fut, Unknown Style, and a Praying Mantis player. I don't know these peformers. Just wanted to share. Any information or opinions welcome:

1st is def. hung gar. that's Fu Hok(tiger crane), and from the looks of it, the Lam Sai Wing branch. Though I would need some confirmation on that. Personally, i didn't like the speed at which he did the form. It was incredibly fast, and his stancework wasn't so solid.
the 3rd unknown form was excellent IMO. Maybe some Snake style? I liked the spinal movement he had that im sure would create a lot of short power.
