Used to do Lau Gar a while back when I had the time. Great excercise and gives you loads of confidence.

Hung Gar is a northern shaolin system developed by a tea merchant who studied at the shaolin temple. This system is derived from a combination of Tiger and Crane fighting observations with weapons applications as well as chin-na (joint-locking) techniques. Wong Fei Hung (Once Upon a Time in China) was the most famous grandmaster. HG is also known for it's effective kicking and the strength of its practioners as it is termed often as a "hard" system as opposed to Wing Chun which is a "soft" system.
Not every system is perfect for everybody. I'd give it a month before settling down. Oh, and don't forget your martial arts etiquette when entering and leaving the training hall and when you are with senior students.

Yeah!
I used to ne a ninja, we trained so hard for years!
Our sensei, will put a dummy full of bells some where in the forest, and we had to find it blindfolded and take all the bells away whitout making noises, or we will get shot.
This was way back when I lived in the south of beijin,
I'm a radio shack store manager now, and I don't remember any of it now!

I did Tae Kwon Doe for a bit. It was okay, but I didn't have a lot of motivation and I felt that I was never going to be strong enough (lol). It was fun though. I want to take Kung-Fu because the words sound cool.

(Aug 8 05, 06:07)You should always bow when entering and leaving a training area be it a hall/church/dojo/somebody's garden.
You should also address senior students: guys = si-hing, girls = si-j'air, it gets a lot more complicated when addressing your instructor's senior's.
