Guest kungfood Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 This is kind of an answer to the superkicker thread. What are your top guys who specialize in using hands over kicks, or who just have exceptional hand skills? My choices: Lau Kar-Leung Lau Kar-Wing Gordon Liu Lo Meng Chi Kuan-Chun Fu Sheng Ti Lung Wang Tao Ren Shi-Kuan Wang Lung-Wei Phillip Ko Leung Kar-Yan Sammo Hung (in Magnificent Butcher in particular) Li Hai-Sheng (Lee Hoi-San) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rederror Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 yuen biao is very good at close hand combat. Knockabout displays him at his finest, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinatown Kid Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Chiang Tao(Super Power) and Hou Chao-sheng(Super Power and Monkey Kung Fu) are pretty good with their hand techniques as well. Chien Yuet Sun and Cliff Lok are underated when it comes to using hands. Leung Kar Yan in The Victim and Warriors 2 and Lam Chim Ying in Prodigal Son are my two favorites.

Member Sifu Posted November 23, 2007 Member Share Posted November 23, 2007 Single favorite: Donnie Yen, I'll never look at Hung Gar the same since Iron Monkey! I don't care that there was wirework or undercranking, Yuen Woo Ping created a set of flawlessly choreogaphed sequences. Donnie Yen himself (a legend of the genre of course) said in the american DVD interview that the fights he had in that film were his best and were "beautifully" done.

Guest vengeanceofhumanlanterns Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Tommy Lee (Kam Ming) wasn't so bad with hand to hand. Meng Fei and Wong Tao proved themselves pretty good. Not to forget Yasuaki Kurata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theportlykicker Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Yeah, Bruce had awesome hands. I've said this before, but I love it when Bruce starts boxing against Bob Baker in Fist of Fury. Perfection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkyway Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Donnie Yen - he might be synomous with kicks only but many are forgetting that he was into wushu and tai chi and is now an overall skilled stylist in many different styles, both classical and modern. Bruce Lee - wing chun/some chinese styles coupled with western boxing and conditionings makes him unique and a legend of his time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teako170 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Chi Kuan Chun! Sure, the man may not have given us any Oscar worthy performances... However, when it came to throwing hands -- I wouldn't want to be in his way (that's for sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
