Related QuestionsWhat is Lung Ying and where does it come from?
Southern Kung Fu Net Online Community - Lung Ying FAQ - Powe...Lung Ying (litteraly, "Dragon Shape Boxing") is a close range southern chinese system of fighting. The system was first brought to the public in the Guantong province of China. To stick to only what can be verified and keep this post within reasonable length I'll say this: A man named Lam Yi Quay learned the style from three monks named Tai Yut Sim See (his primary teacher), Gong Gee Dai See (also called Hai-Fung), and Wong Lee Kiu (a daoist, the other two were buddist).

Related QuestionsIs Lung Ying more oriented toward hand attacks or kicks, and why?
Southern Kung Fu Net Online Community - Lung Ying FAQ - Powe...Lung Ying is much more oriented toward hand attacks than kicks. The kicks that are in the system tend to be oriented toward attacking below the waist (yes, we hit below the belt, we're just evil like that). This stems largely from the fact the system evolved in southern china, where the cities and crowded terain conditions make the longer footwork, wider stances and bigger movements of northern styles impractical. You just wouldn't usually have the room to manuver like that in Guandong.
Related QuestionsWhat are Lung Ying's basic attack strategies?
Southern Kung Fu Net Online Community - Lung Ying FAQ - Powe...There are a great number of tacitcs a Lung Ying player could take in a fight, depending on the situation. However, if one were to pin down a "fundamental fighting strategy" for the style it would run to the tune of: engage your opponent at the prefered range, use the various methods to jerk his center out (that is to take him off his center of balance, to leave him stumbling), thus robbing him of his ability to attack and defend effectively.
Related QuestionsWhat are Lung Ying's basic defense strategies?
Southern Kung Fu Net Online Community - Lung Ying FAQ - Powe...It could be said fairly that Lung Ying is never truly defensive. This is not to say the style has no defensive moves, in fact every attacking move pulls double duty by having defense integrated into it (both hands always work at once and a give technique can be applied in multiple ways). Further the structure of the stance and gaurd positon leave very little exposed on the Lung Ying player, and leave them at a mechanical advantage to defend their opponent's attacks.
Related QuestionsIs Lung Ying similar to any other style of martial arts and how?

In particular LY shares much in common with Pak Mei, and the two are often refered to as sister styles.
Related QuestionsWhen do we get to free spar?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for the University of Conn...Basic sparring is emphasized during the first year or so of practice. Free sparring becomes more important for advanced students.

Will I miss part of my lung after lung surgery?
Cardiovascular of Southern Nevada - FAQsWe measure your lung function before surgery to determine just how much lung we can remove.

Related QuestionsDo you spar in Jiu Jitsu?
AJJ@MIT FAQYes and no. We practice *practical* self-defense... many of the methods we practice would cause an attacker serious physical harm if it were to be done full-force (bones might break, joints would unjoint, and our attacker would likely loose consciousness or possibly worse). However, we do practice with each other in a way that gets as close to a possible self-defense scenario as possible, without risking permanent injury to one another.
Related QuestionsQuestion: Can we put payload in the wing, such as in a hollow spar?
faqAnswer: For this year payload MAY NOT be carried internal to the wing. That does not prohibit the payload bay extending between the wing panels in the "wing carry over" area, as long as it is entirely inside the fuselage structure. Answer: The 40A limit can be considered as a system wide current limit. No motor or battery may see more than a 40A current. Therefore, if you have two separate packs feeding two separate motors, each motor/pack would have a 40A (max) fuse.
