Master Ho studied from Deng Fang a disciple of the famous Wong Fei Hung. From
his deep study of Hung he has developed this version of the "Shooting Star Form"
with correct and definite elements of the Tiger and the Crane arts. This is
perfectly permissible within traditional lineage as SiFu Ho has created a
beautiful and obviously completely classical form that retains Hung's "flavor"
while giving a new emphasis to certain combinations. The entire form encompasses
86 postures and has key elements from not only the Tiger/Crane but the 5 Element
and Ten Animal forms of Hung Family Fist. Once again proof that the traditional
methods can be flexible, beautiful and creative.
The illustrations in this text are of Sifu Ho himself performing all postures
for the "Shooting Star Fist".
