Tiger and Crane

[InvisibleFist]

Is the Kempo "Tiger and Crane" form the same as the Hung Gar form of the same name?

Couldn't tell anything about the Hung Gar form. What I can tell you was just the other day, sifu started showing us this form called Tiger and Crane. First Tiger, Step left foot forward and check, then right reverse punch, Left punch with a right foot step thru (akward), Outward block and anther punch, can't remember. Then we started on Crane. It is the opposite of Tiger and they are done with a partner. We didn't get very far but it was fun. Would like to work it somemore.

It appears to be essentially the same form, though there are some stylistic differences. These appear, I understand, between different lineages of Hung Gar as well. The most striking difference I've seen between the Kenpo TC and the Hung Gar TC (as depicted in Bucksam Kong's book on the form), is that while the Kenpo version starts on the left side, the Hung Gar version starts on the right.

Does anybody have the form written down anywhere? I've been searching for it, but no luck.

Searching around I've found the kung fu version in a bunch of places, even a little video http://www.taichitom.com/Video/Tige...e Intro Video Sample Windows Media Player.wmv

I havn't been able to find the version we have been working on in the dojo. Little tiger Little crane. I'll have to ask sifu.
