Hello all,

First, I must thank all of you who contribute such valuable posts in this forum -- I've been browsing through different topics and have found much of the information to be very interesting.

I only began studying Hung gar a few weeks ago, and I'm leaving for college in Ithaca very shortly. I really want to continue studying at school, but as of now, I haven't been able to find any instructors in the Ithaca area. If anyone knows of any Hung gar instructors in the area, please let me know.

Many thanks!

46 views and nobody helps?

C'mon guys, nobody can complain if he has to resort to videotapes now!

(joking, la...)

Ok, "fnd4", I don't so happen to know this particular fellow, but you can get in touch and go and see for yourself:

Hung Gar / Toy Gar Kung Fu 777 Maryvale Dr. Cheektowaga New York USA ... Ithaca New York United States ecb29@cornell.edu (607) 253-2996 ecb29@cornell.edu ...

You can try this link as well:

He's apparently a professor. The information was posted a year or two ago. Good luck then, and let us know!

Best,

Ok, "Hung Gar / Toy Gar" is pretty distinctive, so I looked it up, and this is what I found:

Good Luck!

Ok "fnd4",

I don't recognize a Hung Kyun lineage, and I've no idea what they are teaching, therefore I am somewhat short of recommending them...

Sorry,

Michael

Well, I'll look into it all the same. Maybe I'll find something.
Thanks a lot for the info!

Hello "fnd4",

My sidai is a professor at Cornell University, and one of our assistant instructors here at the Syracuse Branch of Yee's Hung Ga (45 minutes away from Ithaca). I'll inbox you with his information.

@Daifong,

Hello sir. Sifu Mandarino in Cheektowaga NY (Buffalo NY) was a student of the late Wong Ting Fong from Toisan. Wong-sifu taught a blend of old-style Hung, Toy and Fut Ga.

Well, "fnd4", it looks like it's your lucky day...

Thanks for that, YHGSKF!

thought I'd mention, Wong Ting-Fong was legendary in Southern Kung-Fu circles.
Looks like you have some great sources there.
