Hun Gar animals: Leopard
Key word is speed. Leopard plays with its prey, as a cat with its toy. Leopard is not as strong as a tiger, but the absence of hard, powerful strikes allow him to move much faster. Positions are long, but frequently changing. Leopard uses a counterattack, therefore it applies simultaneous block and attack, which is very effective. Levels of strikes, as well as positions, change frequently.
That is why top level attacks can be rapidly replaced by sweeps, and after that you attack the top or medium level again. Leopard punches with fist, by “eye” of the fist and "leopard paw" - it is not as strong as a fist, but has the advantage of speed and accuracy.
No double punches, but simultaneous punches and kicks are typical. Leopard uses an offensive series of five or six strikes. The series also changes rapidly, you have to dance around the enemy and beat him, the strikes should be fast and strong.

Sergei VolodkinI’ve had the privilege of studying Kung Fu with Master Dmitry for a considerable time, and his teaching approach stands out for its depth and clarity. His expert guidance has made learning complex techniques accessible and engaging. Under his supervision, I have not only improved my flexibility and physical conditioning but also gained a solid foundation in various martial arts techniques and self-defense strategies. Master Dmitry’s classes extend beyond physical training; they also encompass Qigong practices, the philosophy behind Kung Fu, and its historical evolution. His ability to weave these elements into the curriculum has enriched my understanding and appreciation of this ancient art. For anyone interested in a comprehensive Kung Fu education that develops both body and mind, I highly recommend his instruction.

George DCurrently a student in college (on my last year!) I have been taking Kung Fu with Dmitry for about 6 months now, and I've only seen positive results. Dmitry's positive attitude and his personality attributes help the one-on-one feel less like I'm at a lecture, although you could say a class is a class, to which I'd disagree. I've taken multiple sports in highschool as well as the beginning of my college years, and I'd go as far to say that this form of physical education is something so unique, it's not just your typical fitness routine It's more than that. Aside from the benefit of physical exercise, the breathing exercises, qi gong, helped me relax my mind which is something I haven't felt in a while, made me much more concentrated, mindful and surroundings overall. I believe if it wasn't the Kung Fu exercises, I would've never been able to do as well in this last half a year at college as I am now. Martial Arts has for sure implemented itself into my life and is very very important to me. Thank you!

Vanessa LinkinMaster Dmitry has been a fantastic teacher for me and my entire family, primarily for my children! They just love him! If you're unaware, Dmitry isn't only a great trainer for adults, but also teaches kids, ages of 5 and up, making him not only a variety trainer... My children get the activity and exercise they need, as well as knowledge about the arts and techniques for self defense. This is very important to us. As someone with his own kids, Dmitry has perfectly understood the approach to ours, and how to have fun while also making it their favorite extracurricular.
