What is Lau Gar Kung fu?

I have heard of Lau Gar (also have a class nearish me i think) but i have no idea what it is in relation to other styles of kung fu, if its its own thing, what styles it comes from, if its a northern or southern based one etc. The only thing i know from it, is apparently it is the most popular form of kung fu in the u.K and the person did boxing as well (from memory)


Could someone enlighten me as to what this is and the details of it and how it compares to other kung fu styles.
