Jow Ga - History and development
|
Jow Ga is a system
of traditional Kung Fu that was developed from three Shaolin systems; namely, Hung
Ga , Choi Ga and Northern Shaolin Kung Fu.(Ga means: family) Jow Ga is known Hung
Tao Choy Mei because the system incorporated Hung Ga Kung Fu's powerful upper body
techniques and Choy Ga Kung Fu's swift footwork and complex kicking techniques from
northern shaolin kungfu. Hung Ga kung fu is a southern style that was developed
for close to medium range defese. This style emphasizes low stances and is especially
known for its low horse stance. Kicks are generally low and hand techniques are
powerful and direct using the strong stances to deliver formidable blows, namely,
a tremendous thrust punch. This style also includes the five animal techniques of
the leopard, dragon, tiger, crane and snake. This style primarily uses the tiger
and crane, hard and soft animal techniques from its Shaolin origins. Hung means
to stand tall with integrity. Choi Ga kung fu is also a southern style emphasizes
long reaching hands and wide horse stances.
The “hang fist”, “throw punch”, “upper
cuts”, hammer back fist”, “downward whipping punch” and “jab punch” are some typical
and effective techniques of the system. This system is an aggressive system that
emphasizes long range techniques and blitz attacks. The power is generated from
the hips in a rotating fashion. Elusive footwork is also prominent in this system
as are grappling, throwing, high and low kicks. Intercepting and jamming are favorite
techniques employed. Northern Shaolin kung fu originated from the Shaolin temple
that resided in Northern China before its destruction. The present system of Northern
Shaolin specializes in long range fighting techniques. This system maintains that
kicks are more effective than hand movements because the legs are longer than the
arms thereby keeping the opponent further away. Low stances are not emphasized as
they reduce mobility. This style requires constant mobility to be effective. Jow
Ga utilizes these three systems combined into one. To defend one would use strong
low stances and hold ground or may rely upon evasion tactics. To attack the Jow
Ga practitioner can rely on Choi Ga long reaching arm techniuques combined with
Northern Shaolin kicks and mobility. This system is suitable for all body types
and can tailored to each individual. The student can master techniques most suited
to him/her. This style requires hard work and discipline and is physically demanding.
There are over twenty traditional hand forms, including tiger-crane, tiger-leopard,
and the famous five animal form.
Training includes an internal breathing form called
Iron Wire Fist, which is used to strengthen muscles, organs and bones. Additionally,
there are over eighteen weapons sets including batons, the staff, spear, three sectional
staff, wind sword, whip chain and double edge straight sword. Straight sword is
the most revered and respected because its use demands a total knowledge of fluidity
to master. The founder of the system was Jow Lung. Jow Lung was born during 1891
in Hsin-Hui Sheng Sha Fu village in the Canton Province of China. Jow Lung starting
learning Hung Gar from his Uncle Jow Hung at an early age. Jow Lung's training began
with basic stances and stepping. Regardless of age, those who practice Hung Gar
suffer the most from basic stance and step training. Jow Lung never complained about
the training and his uncle took a special liking to him. One day Jow Hung told Jow
Lung that he didn't think he would live much longer due to symptoms of an old illness.
Jow Hung told Jow Lung that he knew a unique set of Pa Kua Staff techniques that
he wanted to pass on to Jow Lung before he died. Uncle Hung told Jow Lung that his
Kung Fu technique had come to the point that if he learned the Pa Kua Staff techniques,
he would be one of the best in the martial arts field. Within one month, Jow Lung
learned the Pa Kua Staff techniques. Shortly after Jow Lung learned the Pa Kua Staff
techniques, his Uncle Jow Hung died. After the death of his uncle, Jow Lung followed
Master Choy Kau (Chi Ching Tsai Kong) and learned Choy Ga Kung Fu. It took Jow Lung
only a few years to master the Choy Ga Kung Fu because of his basics in Hung Gar
Kung Fu. At the age of 18, Jow Lung had a difficult time finding a job in his hometown
through the introduction of his townspeople, so he traveled to Malaysia (Singapore
and Malaysia were one country at that time).In 1910, Jow Lung and many others went
to find work as miners in Kuala Lumpur. The bosses, who were described as gangsters,
would often beat the workers. One day Jow Lung got into a fight with one of his
bosses and fatally wounded him. Jow Lung fled to the mountains and found a temple
named "Gi Leu." Because he hadn't eaten for many days and was exhausted, he asked
an apprentice at the temple for help. The master of the temple Chian Yi, agreed
to provide shelter for Jow Lung in the temple. Chian knew that Jow Lung had a natural
talent for Kung Fu from the moment he saw him. Chian Yi taught Jow Lung northern
Shaolin Kung Fu and medicine.
One day Master Chian Yi called Jow Lung and told him,
"I have passed on to you the northern Shaolin martial arts and medicine, and now
your skills are good enough to hold a special place in the martial arts field."
Master Chian Yi then ordered Jow Lung to leave the temple. When Jow Lung went back
to Kuala Lumpur, he felt like centuries had gone by, but he never stopped practicing
Kung Fu. From continuous practice, Jow Lung realized the uniqueness of the three
styles of Kung Fu he learned and decided to combine them into one, thereby developing
Jow Ga Kung Fu. Jow Lung felt that he would not be able to spread his family's Kung
Fu in Kuala Lumpur, so he went back to his hometown in China. |
