#Fung Hak On

[fuforthought]

If you know me, you know I’m a fan of “covert” fight scenes. Scenes where two people are fighting but they’re both pretending that something else is going on. This one from Dreadnaught (1981) is one of the best.

By the way, the guy that choreographed this scene, later went on to choreograph The Matrix films, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kill Bill.

For her 57th birthday (16 Aug), Carman Lee decided to try (not the first time really, but this is the first time she's attempted and recorded an original song) her hand at singing.

Though obviously she's not a professional singer, for an amateur, I'd say it's not bad? And the song is easy on the ears at least! Even if not very memorable…

What's more delightful to me is that she chose to sing a song in Cantonese! (Carman's Mother Tongue is Cantonese) Just happy to hear a Canto song! (^^)

《我会等》 (粵語版) 唱：李若彤

《I'll Wait》 (Cantonese ver.) Singer: Carman Lee

(spoken in Mandarin)

我很喜欢现在的自己

wǒ hén xǐ huān xiàn zài de zì jǐ

I really like myself as I am now.

I've tried each time when lonely, to search amidst the breeze;

demon sorcerer hc part 1

is it demon headcanon time? i think it’s demon headcanon time ( + an unruly demon nephew )

includes: shendu, po kong, xiao fung

in no particular order

shendu:

- voted “worst dad of the year” by drago. - no, but seriously, this guy is a terrible father. he has a toxic relationship with his son and he’d throw him under the bus the first second he could if he meant he could score some points with his siblings. he doesn’t care about anything other than his own furtherment and gain; and really, drago is just a tool for that.

- vain and prideful, likes to have expensive or highly magical things for the sake of having them.

- unfortunately one of the more powerful sorcerers and pioneered several arts of dark magic such as the creation of talismans (magical artificial). he devised the idea of how to banish his siblings to the netherealm if they ever turned against him, but his distrust became his downfall when his human subjects rebelled and stole magic from him, particularly that spell.

- his human form should he ever need to blend in ironically enough looks a little like valmont -- with long blond hair tied up in a ponytail, though he has a much different facial structure and body -- picture hak foo in that case. he has facial hair unlike valmont and in the modern world he would likely wear more up to date chinese fashion. traditionally, it would be a changfu (a style of hanfu). despite his actual age; he stylizes his human form to be around early 30s.

po kong:

- actually intelligent, it’s to her siblings and others downfall if they just think her to be a glutton

- still does appreciate a good meal, though. it was tradition during the era that she ruled that any ceremonies had to start with and be concluded with a feast symbolizing whatever that ceremony was about.

- her empire was in the mountain ranges of japan, specifically fuji, of course, with it being the tallest in japan.

- her human form takes on the appearance of a much smaller stout woman, to help her get around. she, unlike most of her siblings, don’t care for fancy or formal wear and modernly would wear just whatever’s comfortable. she has black hair up in a bun, and appears around 50-60s. she forwent traditional wear during the era of demons for much more simpler clothing, and sampled what japan had to offer fashion-wise as she is still a chinese demon.

xiao fung

- appreciates roman history and culture, enjoys blood sport as entertainment and finds great amusement in human history. would love to poach one of shendu’s dragons to use it as for a gladiatorial match.

- the most relaxed and easy going, prefers to talk his way out of situations than fight. the most diplomatic out of the demon sorcerers but that isn’t really saying much given them.

- gets along most with hsi wu because their elements are intertwined, but still will pick on him and bully him if he’s getting particularly annoying

-voted most likely to take an interest in modern human technology and be the first to figure out things like phones, televisions, and so on, even quicker than shendu did, though shendu had been out in the modern world much longer.

-given an actual head for politics, would have the least worst kingdom for a human to live in. which again. is not saying much.

-frog mans just vibing

OCs talk about movies...

So I asked them all what their fave John Woo movie was...

Lennan: "A Bullet In The Head. Flawed - but ambitious. Red Cliff is pretty great, too." 

Keenan: "You're probably gonna hate me for this, but Hard Target." 

Das: "A Better Tomorrow 2! Though they're all awesome, aren’t they... Doesn't get much better than Hard Boiled, does it? That scene where Tony Leung's character is about to kill the uncle gangster fella and there's that flash of emotion in his eyes... That's sheer acting brilliance, right there, Oscar-level stuff. OK, maybe it's Hard Boiled.  ... And then there’s the first A Better Tomorrow with all those...*French vibes* all over it...  Dammit, how am I supposed to pick ONE?" 

Ranna: "The Killer is iconic." 

Fennas: "I've only seen A Brighter Tomorrow 1 and 2 and Hard-ass because Das insisted.” *shrugs* “They were alright." 

Salshira: "John Who?" 

Yevren: "Last Hurrah for Chivalry! That mid-movie duel between Wai Pak and Fung Hak On is *everything*!”

LIVE: Global Innovation & Technology Forum – South China Morning Post

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has predicted that the year 2020 marks the re-emergence of Asia. For the first time since the 19th century, Asian economies will become larger than the rest of the world in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms.

Despite the economic aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, the International Monetary Fund said emerging Asian economies are the only region with anticipated GDP growth – albeit by a mere 1% – in 2020.

As the region’s focus shifts up a gear to drive the new economy by strengthened interregional cooperation, and targeting technology, human capital and investment to accelerate innovation – Asia is on the path to becoming a new driver of global economic growth. With the opportunities for business and investors to match.

Initiated by the city of Chengdu, the Global Innovation & Technology Forum will focus on this dynamic region. The forum will highlight opportunities for business and investment by expanding the dialogue between leaders from business, government and finance – to nurture innovation, and show how partnerships, and leveraging hubs like Chengdu, Hong Kong and Singapore, can enable Asia to become a driver of the global economy.

Speakers will include C.Y. Leung, Vice Chairman, National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Former Chief Executive, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Dr Swan Gin Beh, Chairman, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), Singapore Government; Mr Bernard Charnwut Chan, Convenor of Hong Kong’s Executive Council; Dr Victor Fung, Group Chairman, Fung Group; Prof Lily Kong, President, Singapore Management University; Mr Kay-Mok Ku, Managing Partner, Southeast Asia, Gobi Partners; Mr Lucas Ngoo, Co-founder, Carousell; Mr Albert Wong Hak-keung, CEO, HKSTP – Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation; and Prof Xiang Zhang, President and Vice-Chancellor, The University of Hong Kong.

Five Animals (Ng Ying)

The section of Dragon (Lung) is an explicit introduction to the advanced „internal power training“ (Noi Gung) of Hung Kyun. Slow, isometric moves are coordinated with specific modes of breathing (slow/fast; inhaling through the nose/mouth, exhaling through the nose/mouth, holding one’s breath) and different sounds (silent/loud, soft/explosive, short/long).

The dragon section actually consists of greeting section, first section and parts of the second and third sections of the most advanced Hung Kyun set, „Iron Thread“ (Tit Sin Kyun ), and first two sections of „Tiger and crane Double Form“ (Fu Hok Seung Ying Kyun).

The techniques of Snake (Se) comprise of fast, continuous finger jabs (Lin Waan Biu Chyun Sau), aimed to the throat. The other representative techniques of the snake are „snake’s tongue“ (Se Sit)  – double finger jab to the opponents eyes (also called „Two Dragons Snatching Pearls, Yi Lung Jang Jyu) and „Snake’s Head“ block (Se Tau). Rest of the snake part is a repetition of short parts of “Tiger and Crane Set.

Fierce and aggressive Tiger (Fu) uses the „hard power“ (Gong Ging) of its „Tiger Claws“ (Fu Jaau). The tiger section – except 2 „Black Tiger Claws“ (Hak Fu Jaau) in the beginning – is identical with „Ten Tiger Claws“ (Sap Fu Jaau) of „Tiger and Crane Double Form Set“, using “Single Tiger Claw“ (Daan Fu Jaau) and „Double Tiger Claw“ (Seung Fu Jaau) from different angles and with different types of offensive footwork. Both Wong Fei Hung and Lam Sai Wing were very famous for their art of „Tiger Claw“.

“Five Animals” part of “Ten Forms”, performed by Cheung Yee Keung Sifu, disciple of Grand Master Chan Hon Chung. Special thanks to Alberto Biraghi, disciple of Grand Master Chan Hon Chung for sharing this rare footage. 

The fighting arsenal of agile, fast and ferocious Leopard (Paau) consists of so called “Thrusting strikes“ (Chaap Cheui), „Hanging Fist Strikes“ (Gwa Cheui) and „Sweeping Strikes“ (Sou Cheui), connected with agile footwork and body turning. The three main techniques – „hanging, sweeping, thrusting“ (Gwa, Sou, Chaap) come from the ferocious fighting arsenal of another famous Southern Gung Fu system, Choi Lei fat.

“Five animals” section ends with the taoist symbol of immortality and wisdom, elegant crane (Hok). The evasive and „soft“ crane techniques consist of „crane beak“ (Hok Jeui), „Crane Wings“ (Hok Chi), „Single Leg Stance“ (Duk Lap Ma), knee/front kicks and so called “Crane Head Strike“ (Hok Ding), also called „Phoenix Eye Strike“ (Fung Ngaan Cheui). Again, the crane section – except first three „Crane Wings Hands“ is identical with crane section of Fu Hok Seung Ying Kyun.

According to old Siulam tradition the techniques of the Dragon cultivate „Spirit“ (San), the Snake „vital energy“ (Hei), the Tiger „Bones“ (Gwat), the Leopard “Strength” (Lik) and the Crane  “Essence” (Ging).

Contrary the popular theory, Hung Kyun’s Five Elements do not imitate the animals – we at Practical Hung Kyun joke that animals imitate PHK. All techniques have very practical usage – the poetical names were devised later to describe the spirit and usage of the combat techniques.

Five Elements (Ng Hang)

„Five elements“ (Ng Hang) should be more correctly translated as „Five Elemental Processes“ or „Five Phases“. Ng Hang section of „Ten Forms Set“ demonstrates the mighty arsenal of destructive boxing techniques of traditional Hung Kyun system, very useful in fighting mutiple opponents. The fist techniques of „Five elements“ (Ng Hang) were incorporated from „Buddhist Family Arhat Style/set“ (Fat Ga Lo Hon Kyun), commonly know as as „Hero’s family style” (Hap Ga Kyun).

The techniques of Metal (Gam) represent strong and heavy vertical and horizontal axe-like strikes, both from outside in and inside out – „Dividing Metal fist“ (Fan Gam Kyun) and “Chopping Fist” (Pek Cheui). “Ax-like” is important! Many practitioners perform Gwa Cheui as a back fist strike – wrong.

The techniques of Wood (Muk) are characterized by close range fighting techniques (but not only) – the block and punch are delivered simultaneously. One of the typical moves of the wood element is so called „Wood Squeezing Punch“ (Gap Muk Kyun).

Long reaching swingings technique of the Water (Seui) – „Water Wave Throwing Punch“ (Seui Long Paau Kyun) – are like wild sea waves. One arm blocks the opponents arm, the other arm breakes the enemy’s elbow in a scissors-like movement (and yes, if you know how to set it up, it works!) or attacks the opponents groin or chin. In the set, the Hung Kyun fighter throws 9 punches to all directions. Paau Cheui belonged to the most favorite techniques of Grand Master Lam Sai Wing.

Fast, continuous „chain“ punches – „Fire arrow Punches“ (Fo Jin Kyun), delivered to the opponents face, solar plexus or soft ribs, represent the element Fire (Fo). „Chain punches“ (Lin Waan Kyun) btw. represent one of the core techniques of Wing Cheun, although the way we throw them resembles more the aggressive “running” style of Hap Ga with zig-zag “Seven Stars Steps” (Chat Sing Bou).

“Five elements” section ends with the techniques of Earth (Tou) with the rising back fist strikes – „Earth Throwing Punches“ (Tou Paau Kyun) in a low and stable stance – famous “Crane Wing Hand” (Pok Yik Sau) of Hap Ga.

As for another common misconception: contrary to common believe, there is not generation/conquest cycle in “Five Elements” of Hung Kyun. Any element flows into another according to the needs and situation, any element counters any other element.

Pavel Macek Sifu, Practical Hung Kyun
