"... Hung Hy Quan mourut jeune, et n’eut pas tout le temps nécessaire pour enseigner complètement son style à ses disciples.
Cependant, avant sa mort, il transcrit en un livre d’or de l’école, toutes les méthodes de travail, ainsi transmises à son fils adoptif Hung Man Tinh. Ces méthodes comprennent une centaine de Khuyns (mains nues et armes blanches) faisant la grande richesse du petit style Hung Gar...."
"... Néanmoins, Hung Hy Quan est toujours honoré comme fondateur du Hung-Gar. On ne parle jamais de Hung Man Tinh, son fils adoptif qui a été autorisé par le fondateur à enseigner et généraliser le petit style après sa mort. L’histoire du petit style manque encore beaucoup de détails et d’éclaircissements jusqu’à nos jours...."
Translation:
"... Hung Yi Quan died young, and did not have any time to teach his style completely to his disciples.
However, before his death, he transcribed into a book from school, all work processes, and sent his adopted son, Hung Man Tinh. These included a hundred Khuyns (bare hands and knives) which the wealth of small Hung Gar style..."
"... However, Hung Hy Quan is always honored as founder of Hung Gar. No one ever speaks of Hung Man Tinh, his adopted son who has been authorized by the founder to teach and spread the little style after his death. The story of little style still lacks many details and clarifications to the present..."
Hung Man Tinh...... I seem to remember that the person of Hung Hei Gung's son (Hung Man Tin) was an invention of the Lau family for one of their movies.
Nothing found historically and even derived from a legend.
and then, of course, as in all the schools that do not have a clear lineage reconstructed, there is always a controversial book of transmission of the secrets of the school
given to her adopted son and that, therefore, is the only one who possesses the true essence complete of the style.
the only authorized, original and with the true hallmark!.
Yes this school (when nobody in Italy, knew nothing of Hung Gar), had managed to create a following and a subsequent good business.
I'm talking about the late 70th and early 80th.
