History of
Hung Fut
洪佛 “Hung Fut” was created in Southern Shaolin Temple in China by Grandmaster 李祖寬. He is a monk and a Kung Fu grandmaster around 350 years ago. He was believed to learn from 洪熙官 “Hung Hei Gun” - specifically, his powerful hard Kung Fu style - 洪家 / 洪拳 “Hung Ga / Hung Kuen” (Hung Fist) and combining with his own flowing soft style - 佛家 “Fut Ga” (the Buddha Palm). Hence, the unique Hung Fut system was born.
In short, the Hung Fut system is a Kung Fu style incorporating linear, circular and angular techniques. This results in movements that are powerful and explosive yet precise and flowing with rigidity.
An original Chinese martial art developed in the early 1800s from China.
