    added note

    Readers may also be interested to know that the 'pheonix eye fist' has been passed down in the Shaolin Wah Nam Tradition (with roots also to the Fukien Temple through the Venerable Monk Jiang Nan) and can be seen in Sifu's many books including:

    'The art of Shaolin Kungfu - The Secrets of Kung Fu for Self-Defence Health and Enlightenment' Published by Tuttle Martial Arts

    also available online at amazon.com

      I believe that Hung Hei Kwun's wife was a master of the crane style.
      Many traditions state that he took his tiger techniques learnt from the Venerable Chee Seen at the Southern Shaolin Temple and blended them with his wife's crane techniques to create what in modern times has become known as Hung Gar. Her name was also Wing Chun, but not Yim Wing Chun, rather Fang Wing Chun.

        Sorry guys forgot to mention. She was so famed for her goat stance, that in the film "Executioners from Shaolin" there is a hilarious scene where Hung Hei Kwun is unable to consumate the marriage on his wedding night because of the power of the stance of his new bride. Later when that stance skill is passed down to their son, it is vital in the vanquishing of Pak Mai.
