Yes, this would be an interesting one to see. This is considered a hard style so it would be physically demanding of the Anderson and Smith. I wonder if they could learn 2-man sets in five days?

I second that motion Razz

This would be very interesting one to put on the show. They would probably do alot of horse stance stuff though(which definitely gets boring after a while), but I'd like to see the guys try out the different fist styles.

Great fighting style, too. Wink

If they are going to do Hung Gar, they have to find Sifu Frank Yee in Taishan. He is probably one of the best there is out there.

With all the intricate movements and circular motions, this will be one of the most physically demanding arts (it seems they are both not so flexible and their upper body strength may limit their mobility when doing moves like Sau choi.

But if they can make it work and put it all together, it should look fine. I would surely like to see the "kung fu" in action...not the kickboxing like we saw in the "San Da" episode. I find it very rare because it seems that people spend all the time training in animal forms and then just revert back to kickboxing. To see Hung Ga (or any type of kung fu for that matter) used in a sparring application would be cool to watch.

I wish they would provide a list of trigger words. My post should be up soon...if at all. Smile
