THE HUNG LOONG HUNG SING KWOON
(鴻 龍 鴻 勝 館) IS A BRANCH OF GM DINO SALVATERA’S HUNG SING USA HEADQUARTERS IN SAN FRANCISCO. IT WAS FOUNDED IN 2005 BY SIFU FRANK MCCARTHY WHO, IS A SENIOR DISCIPLE OF GM SALVATERA.
THE HUNG SING USA BRANCH OF FUT SAN HUNG SING CHOY LEE FUT STYLE IS THE FIRST AND OLDEST GUNG FU SCHOOL ESTABLISHED ON AMERICAN SOIL. IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE OLDER LINEAGES WITHIN THE FUT SAN HUNG SING SCHOOLS THAT REACH BACK TO OUR FOUNDER JEUNG HUNG SING (張鴻勝).
IN OUR SITUATION,WE ARE THE LAST OF THIS LINE TO CARRY ON THE YUEN HAI (阮系) LINEAGE. PROFESSOR LAU BUN (刘彬) WAS THE LAST REMAINING STUDENT OF MASTER YUEN. NOTHING IS KNOWN ABOUT YUEN HAI’S (阮系) OTHER DISCIPLES, BUT AFTER LEARNING THE ORIGINAL HUNG SING CHOY LEE FUT FROM MASTER YUEN, PROFESSOR LAU BUN (刘彬)FLED HIS HOMELAND TO MAKE THE UNITED STATES HIS NEW RESIDENCE AFTER HIS SIFU PASSED AWAY.
ONLY TEN YEARS AFTER PROFESSOR LAU BUN MOVED TO AMERICA, THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT CLOSED THE FUT SAN HUNG SING KWOON DOWN FOR GOOD. IN FACT, IT WOULD NOT RE-EMERGE UNTIL ALMOST THE TURN OF THE CENTURY (1998). HOWEVER, WHILE THEY WENT DEEP UNDERGROUND, PROFESSOR LAU BUN (刘彬) CONTINUED TO PRESERVE JEONG HUNG SING’S (張鴻勝) ORIGINAL METHODS-FIRST IN MEXICO, THEN LOS ANGELES, AND FINALLY IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
TODAY, SIFU FRANK “JEW HUNG LOONG” MCCARTHY (周 鴻 龍) CONTINUES THE TRADITION OF PASSSING ON THE HUNG SING CHOY LEE FUT AS IT WAS PASSED DOWN FROM JEONG HUNG SING (張鴻勝), TO YUEN HAI (阮系), TO PROFESSOR LAU BUN(刘彬), TO PROFESSOR JEW (周) TO GM DINO SALVATERA (周天 龍).
SIFU MCCARTHY HAS SPENT NEARLY 30 YEARS OF HIS LIFE STUDYING AND TEACHING THE HUNG SING CHOY LEE FUT SYSTEM. NOT ONLY HAS HE ABSORBED THE ESSENCE OF WHAT PROFESSOR LAU BUN INTENDED WITH HIS GUNG FU, HE ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO THE SYSTEM WITH HIS OWN PERSONAL INSIGHT INTO HOW THE CHOY LEE FUT SYSTEM IS USED APPLIED.
