The following article was written by our own Sifu Chris Alexander and published in "Legends of Martial Arts" magazine, including demonstration photos of Sifu Chris and Sifu Matt.

In my younger years, I was a bit of a rabble rouser, and from the start, always regarded the martial arts from a combative point of view. I studied some karate, some kickboxing, and some Thai boxing, all with the notion that one day I would be called upon to use them in some emergency (usually one that could easily fit into the plot of any martial arts movie). During the Eighties, my search ended: I took up Hung-ga Kung-fu, and ended up staying with the style.

Now available on DVD is Azunne Arts' "Hung Ga Kung Fu", which features demonstrations by - you guessed it - New York Hung Ga!
