Choy gar was founded by Choy Gau Lee and developed in southern China. It is a self-defense style that practices low stances and swift footwork like that of the rat. The body and arms are meant to resemble the quick attacking movements of the snake.
The low stance and power in the techniques, will in time, develop an inner strength within the practitioner. This is the basic foundation for creating effective movements, abilities and actions of the body. Only through this can one truly understand the wide range of Kung Fu techniques and it's distinctive character.
The philosophy behind Kung Fu is, in the east, of great significance. For many students, the training is like an upbringing and in everyday life. Morals and traditions taught in Kung Fu help to mold their characters.
