Fut Gar Martial Art
Hii everyone !!!
Fut Gar or Buddhist style is a Shaolin style of Kung-fu which utilizes mostly punches, palm strikes and low kicks. It is further characterized by evasive footwork, circular blocks and using opponent's force against him.
One style that was formally founded using the name of Fut Gar has its origins at one of the Siu Lum temple in Guangdong province. Early on in its history, the monks at this temple were fortunate enough to learn martial arts from fighters that had mastered the 5 most popular systems of the Southern Kung-fu, which were Lau-gar, Lei-gar, Mok-gar, Choi-gar, Hung-gar.
A Shaolin monk named Leung Tin Jiu realized the value of incorporating different styles together and took only best techniques of each style. Compiled mostly from Choi-gar and Hung-gar, this became Siu Lum Fut Gar or Buddhist style.
The Liu Tin Jiu style of Fut-gar is best known in China for the Flying Dragon Staff form.
