The Lau Family Hung Gar Kung Fu School

Form	Description of form
Gung Gee Fook Fu	One of the oldest forms of the Hung Gar style, Gung Gi Fook Fu traces its origins to the Siu Lum temple. Originally choreographed by Hung Hay Goon, the lengthy set emphasizes strong stances—particularly the horse stance—and powerful arm blocks and punches. The form is sometimes translated as "taming the tiger" or "tempting the tiger." Together with Fu Hok Sheung Yin, Sup Yin, and Tid Sin, Gung Gi Fook Fu forms one of the four pillars of the Hung Gar style.
Fu Hok	One of the cornerstones of the Hung Gar style, Fu Hok was originally choreographed by the famous martial artist and folk hero Wong Fei Hung. The set combines the powerful, straightforward movements of the tiger with the elusive, flowing motions of the crane. To perform this set correctly, the practitioner must draw upon both the hard and soft natures of the style.
Tit Sin Kuen	Originally developed by Tit Kiu Sam, the Tit Sin Kuen is considered an advanced internal form, designed to develop the practitioner's chi, or vital energy. The set combines breathing techniques and chi gung movements with stance and hand techniques. Tit Sin can be translated as "steel thread." Some interpret this to mean that the practitioner must be simultaneously strong as steel and flexible as thread, while others view "plucking the steel threads" as a metaphor for creating and maintaining a harmony of chi. Together with Gung Gi Fook Fu, Fu Hok Sheung Yin, and Sup Yin the Tit Sin forms one of the four pillars of the Hung Gar style.
Mui Fa	Mui Fa Kuen literally means "Plum Blossom Fist" or simply Flower Fist. This short and simple but very practical form is presented in four directions, like the petals of a Mui Fa (plum blossom), teaching attacking and defending in four basic directions. The Plum blossom set teaches the basic footwork and stances as wells as basic hand and leg techniques. The powerful tiger claw and Hung Gar's trademark kiu sao the bridge hand are also introduced in this set.

Gee Mo Seong Gap Do (Butterfly Knives)	(Mother/Son Twin Swords) This form is named as such because both swords are used as a team, one following the other closely, like mother and son. In other kung fu styles, these swords are called Butterfly Knives. This form lays the foundation for the use of all double weapons.
Hung Gar Sap Gee Par (Tiger Fork)	The tiger fork is a long handled trident originally used to hunt tigers. Practitioners of this weapon become unusually strong and quick, as this weapon is heavy and difficult to maneuver.
