Tung Kong Chow Gar Tong Long (Chinese: 東江周家螳螂; pinyin: dōngjiāng zhōujiā tángláng; lit. 'Dong River Chow Family Praying Mantis'), or simply Chow Gar (周家), is a southern Chinese martial art (kung fu) of the Hakka (客家) people.[citation needed] It is one of the four major schools of Southern Praying Mantis, the other schools being Chu Gar (朱家; 'Chu Family'), Kwong Sai Jook Lum (江西竹林; 'Jiangxi Bamboo Forest'), and Tit Ngau (鐵牛; 'Iron Ox'). It is an aggressive style of kung fu with an emphasis on close-range fighting. These skills are developed by utilizing a range of training techniques that have been developed over several centuries.
This style is unrelated to Jow-Ga kung fu (周家), a southern Chinese martial art founded by Jow Lung in the early 1900s. It is also unrelated to the Northern Praying Mantis systems such as Seven Star Praying Mantis (七星螳螂拳), Plum Blossom Praying Mantis (梅花螳螂拳), and Tai Chi Praying Mantis (太極螳螂拳).
