Five-Pattern Hung Kuen Description

The mention of Chinese kung fu reminds enthusiast of the Siu Lam (Shaolin) Monastery, which is generally regarded as the place of origin of Chinese kung fu styles.
Though I do not really agree with this concept, yet I have no intention here to rectify it, as to do so would be worth writing another book.
Therefore, to keep originality of the materials of this book, I have to narrate the truth that comes forth to me.
In the opinion of many people of the martial arts circle, many kung fu styles have descended from Siu Lam Monastery, and many others are somehow related to it, or at least numerous originators were of a close relationship to it. Take for example, the famous kung fu hero, Hung Kay Kwun, who was known to be the originator of the Hung Gar Kuen (or Hung's family Kung Fu). He was in fact a disciple of one of the headmasters of Siu Lam. He was renowned for his "Ten-Pattern Form".
Too many people think that his Ten-Pattern Form was originated from the Five-Pattern System, which is described in this book. However, it must be clarified that researches revealed that Hung Hay Kwun's Ten-Pattern Form was in fact a deviation of the Five-Pattern System, as explained further on in this book.
Thanks for Grandmaster Yuen Yik Kai, who supplied the background materials and demonstrations. For this book, Grandmaster Yuen has specially refined all the movements and reorganized a shortened, clear-cut form. Readers will now be able to know about the techniques of the Five-Patterns: Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Leopard and the Crane, and be able to make use of it as a guide and aid for learning these techniques!
