Hong ga? Looks interesting. The style was inherited from shaolin temple and derives its fighting style from animals?

I think this is good for a starter...

That's a nice little family video. When is Charlie going to hit the movie scene, and if so, will it be with Gordon and her dad?

Boar, who cares what others think of your arts and training. What matters is what you think or more importantly, what you believe and what you do! You've been doing it for years and you've put it to use - you're the subject expert.

This section is ripe for a gongfu expert to take charge.

There are already plenty of experts on the subject posting here.

Under Chinese Martial Arts, I would consider three main classes or styles that then contain several types within that style. These are just general systems: Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Ba Gua/Xing Yi. The video shown above is Kung Fu. Kung Fu itself comes in many different styles now -- the ever popular WuShu, Shaolin, Northern, Southern, Praying Manits, Eagle Claw, etc. etc. The basis of Kung Fu is the Buddhist religion, and their animal styles represent this manifestation of the idea of rebirth being possible as a different type of animal. Buddhist religion also is based in non-harm or non-violence to others. As we all have heard, "Kung Fu" started in the Shaolin Temple and was practiced by Monks. There is much good in Kung Fu.

Kung Fu is a TV show from the 70's, it is not a style or classification of the CMA's.
