Hong Gia
Luofu Mountain in China is considered one of the 5 "mystic" mountains of China. It is the home of many Taoist and Buddhist Temples. It has been said that Bodhidharma visited some of the Buddhist Temples and that the Dalai Lama and a few of the Taoist Temples have shared techniques. What will be shared here are the trainings from the temple that teaches Hong Gia. The Hong family, according to the legends, are the descendents of humans who mated with dragons. The Hong Gia kung fu came down fron what the ancints called the original "Taoist calisthenics" which evolved and were recently grouped with is what is now sometimes called Wu Chi. Some practicitioners kept to the original form and it evoled into Hong Gia. Some practioners focused on some specific tagents and those eventually merged with Hsing I, Tai Chi, and Pa Kua. This style utilizes nei kung (for stength and "iron shirt" defense), chi kung (for power and energy), meditation, breathing, mental focus, and huyen cong (for "mystical" energy and power). When Mao found out they were teaching his enemies, he forbade all teaching and some of the students went to other countries to practice and some stayed and practiced in secret in the nearby caves. The teachers are, finally, once again, teaching it openly around the world.
Ly Hong Thai
At the age of seven, Ly Hong Thai was brought to the Temple at Luofu Shan by his father, who was the current Grandmaster of the Temple. The young boy stayed there until he bacame a Master at the age of eighteen. While there, he not only mastered the Hong Gia fighting arts and the traditional healing arts including herbal healing, meditation, accupuncture, and accupressure; his father brought in masters of several other martial arts and weapons like Three cranes, Aikido, Katana, Tai Sword, until Ly Hong Thai mastered these too. When he became a master, he then opened his own school in the China Town of Saigon. This caused a stir and he was challenged by many masters and senior students of other styles and he never lost. He is still undefeated to this day. But what makes Grandmaster Ly Hong Thai so special is that instead of using his natural skills and expansive training for monetary gain, he utilizes them to teach his students how to find their own personal Tao. Even though he already has many students around the world, his students are utilizing tools like this site to help him reach as many people as possible. He will be giving seminars around the world and through streaming and will be providing digital media training as well as teaching in the Headquarters in Garden Grove.
