Jow Gar Kung Fu, also referred to as Jow Ga, Chau Ka, Zhou Jia and Chow Gar depending on translation, is a powerful self defence system with its origins in the shaolin temples. Jow Gar's founder Jow Lung (Chau Lung, Chow Lung) combined three styles to create one effective style that would combat all others. The three styles Jow Lung used to create his art were Hung Gar, Choy Gar and Northern Shaolin. Jow Gar can be characterised as having the powerful hand techniques of Hung Gar, the higher and faster stances and footwork of Choy Gar and a touch of northern Shaolin evident in some of the more flamboyant kicks that are not usually found in Southern Chinese Martial Arts.
5 animals feature heavily in Jow Gar Kung Fu, the Tiger, Crane, Snake, Leopard and Dragon. Animal Style Kung Fu mimicks the natural movements, attacks and defensive postures that animals use so effectively in the wild.
Men, women, and children of all ages can benefit from the practice of Jow Gar. Jow Gar Kung Fu is a great way to get into shape and provides an excellent means of self improvement; physically, mentally and emotionally.
