I am taught on sundays by master ang. The horse stance is a killer but i am geting used to it i think its easier because i did shotokan first low stances etc. I am really enjoying it and i actually love the conditioning because i know it is good for me.
EDIT=I am hurting so much today!

That's great you've decided to try Hung-Ga. There's a steep learning curve in the begining stages. Remember there's a method to the madness. Stances, bridge conditioning, basic drills & Gung Ji form will make up most of your initial training.
In our lineage there are four hand & seven weapon forms:
-Gung Ji Fook Fu/Subduing the tiger in an "I" pattern
-Fu Hok Seung Ying/Tiger & Crane double form
-Ng Ying Kuen/Five animals fist
-Tiet Sing Kuen/Iron wire fist
-Broadsword, Pole, Butterfly Swords, Spear, Tiger Fork, Kwan Dao & Fan
