洪拳略歷
Brief
History of Hung Kyun
The
roots of Hung Kyun 洪拳 stem from the legendary Southern Fukgin Siulam (Shaolin) Monastery 福建南少林寺.
Hung Heigun 洪熙官, the founder of Hung Kyun 洪拳, was an apprentice of the Southern Siulam (Shaolin) Temple. He has studied under the guidance of the last abbot of Fukging Siulam: Venerable Master Jisin 至善禪師. Hung Heigun 洪熙官 combined tiger techniques with crane techniques which he learned from his wife Fong Wingcheun 方永春. Another disciple of Venerable Master Jisin was Luk Achoi 陸阿采, who later continued to study with Hung Heigun, his sihing 師兄 (senior Gung Fu brother)
The art of
Siulam Hung Ga Kyun 少林洪家拳 was next passed down through
3 generations of the Wong 黃 family - Wong
Taai 黃泰 ›
黃麒英
› Wong Feihung 黃飛鴻.
According to some sources, Wong Keiying and Wong Feihung were members of the
so called "Ten Tigers of Gwongdung" (Gwongdung
sap fu 廣東十虎), the ten best Gung Fu fighters
in Southern China during the 19th century. The
most famous of the Wongs, Wong Feihung, learned also from other masters from
the Siulam temple (lineage Gokyan 覺因
The most famous student of Wong Feihung was "butcher" Lam Saiwing 林世榮 , who moved with his nephew and adoptive son Lam Jou 林祖 from mainland China to Hong Kong in the early part of the 20th century. Grandmaster Lam Jou became Lam Saiwing`s best student and successor. The third generation of the Lam Family Hung Kyun (Lam Ga Hung kyun, LGHK 林家洪拳) is today represented by the sons of Grandmaster Lam Jou, masters Lam Chun Fai (Lam Janfai 林鎮輝), Lam Chun Chung (Lam Janjung 林鎮忠) and Lam Chun Sing (Lam Jansing 林鎮成).
Sifu Pavel Macek 保羅, the founder and chief instructor of the International Hung Kyun Association 國際洪拳會 is a student of Master Lam Chun Sing (Lam Jansing).
