Wong Fei-hung was a master of Hung Gar Kung Fu. He created and choreographed its version of the Tiger Crane Paired Form Fist, which incorporates his Ten Special Fist techniques and taught the classic Five Animal Form of Shaolin Boxing. Wong is famous for using the Shadowless Kick. He named the techniques of his skills when he performed them.
Shadowless Kick (Mou Ying Geuk): Feared, well guarded and often misunderstood “Secret Technique” of Hung Kyun. It isn’t a fancy kicking skill to impress the audience. On the contrary it is invisible, pro-active practical fighting skill. In other arts, beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but in martial arts, the only judgment is whether or not it works. It was made famous by Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-hung, who is reputed to have used it to great effect.
Madame Mok Gwai Laan, Wong Fei Hung’s fourth wife, speaking about Wong Fei Hung: “His ‘Shadowless Kick’ (or ‘Invisible Kick’) was as swift as lightning.” Madame Mok had learned and mastered this kicking technique from Wong Fei Hung but she seldom employed it actual fighting because it aimed at the enemy’s groin and would kill the opponent easily. ‘It’s too murderous to be employed,’ remarked Madame Mok.”
