Sorry, I don't know. I see no one else has replied so hmm... have you searched Google?
If you're asking because you've found a school that teaches it; I advise you to call and ask to watch and/or participate in a class. Most schools will let you do that, and if they won't, I'd avoid them.
Good luck.

Are you looking for Scott Wong's school? He has some articles over at www.blackbeltmag.com but doesn't have a website relating to martial arts. |

Jow Gar, a combination of Hung Gar and Choy Gar, that's why there is a saying "Hung Tao Choy Mei", start with Hung ends with Choy.
The system is less than 100 yrs old, founded by Zhou Long and his 4 brothers. Also another southern wushu style kungfu includes fist routines, weapon routines, combat techniques and lastly, the Jow Gar Lion Dance art.

yeah, i've heard of it.
the guys who do it are not ma professionals, although his lion head dragon dance is featured in several jackie chan flicks and has been used for new years celebrations in china.
i've not heard of that other guy someone else mentioned.

jow ga is a real style. many of us call it a "shaolin" style, because the origin of the style is in three shaolin systems.
who was the school you saw in the ad? |

the sifu name there is hoy lee. he is the most senior master in america for jow ga. i think for your area, he would be the best choice (i havent been in hampton/vb in 10 years, but last time i was there, )
maybe you should try it for a few months. |
