Hello,
This is the first of a hopefully ongoing series of US appearances by the Lau Kar Leung Stunt Team, and we are now looking at potential co-sponsors on the West Coast for future events such as this.
Further, although the event is billed as a film-fighting seminar, it is the desire of Lau Kar Leung and his representatives to spread their lineage of Hung Ga worldwide, and to promote Hung Ga in general worldwide; this is also one of the main objectives of the seminars.
They are also looking to find new western talent for their line of made-for-DVD kung fu movies. Although interest in the kung fu movie has all but died out in Hong Kong, it was always Lau Kar Leung's idea to use the media of film to highlight good and authentic kung fu, not the other way around. Further, for the past 15 years or so it has been the western urban markets that have kept the kung fu movie genre afloat, and so since it is us that keeps this thing alive it's only right to "share the wealth" with those that appreciate it so much.

Hello Everyone,
Early registration is now available for the seminar; please go to http://seminar.syracusekungfu.com/ to pre-register.
Breakdown of the seminar is as follows:
DAY ONE-
BASIC FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY
Concentrating on fundamentals, tempo, reactions, angles, stunt falls, etc., all from a basic 'western kickboxing' material format
KUNG FU FIGHT CHOREOGRAPHY
Same as above, but using traditional Hung Ga techniques and material
*ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL CHOREOGRAPH A SHORT FIGHT SCENE, WHICH WILL BE EDITED INTO PERSONAL SHOWREELS
DAY TWO-LAU FAMILY AND OLD-STYLE HUNG GA
Highlighting training methods and application from the Lau Family perspective, and from Mark's unique Old Style Hung Ga from Ho Kam Wai of Malaysia (from Hung Hei Kwun, but not through the Wong line)
Exact location for the event is forthcoming, and will be posted in about 2 weeks. We will have a number of items available for purchase, such as heavy weapons (tiger forks included). We also decided against spectators-this will be a closed event.
Regards,
SYKS
