Lau Gar (Traditional Chinese:  pinyin: Liú Jiā; Yale Cantonese: Lau4 Ga1; literally "Lau Family") is one of the five major family styles of Southern Chinese martial arts and is attributed to Lau Sam-Ngan ( pinyin: Liú Sāny; Yale Cantonese: Lau4 Saam1 Ngaan5; literally "Three Eyed" Lau), who is said to have been taught by Jee Sin. Master Yau brought the style to Britain in 1961.

Lau Gar incoporates a grading system based on colored sashes, similar to Karate with White being the lowest and black highest (there are six levels of black sash). However unlike Karate, the white belt is only awarded after the first grading.

Lau Gar features mid-height strong stances, many open-hand close range techniques, and several kicks, few of which are above the waist, most aimed at waist height.

There are three different branches of Lau Gar:

• The Lau Gar Kuen system headed by Master Jeremy Yau Kam-Wha of Birmingham, England, head of the British Kung Fu Association, who has several disciples and students teaching throughout the United Kingdom.
• The Lau Gar found in Mainland China
• The Lau Gar routines found in certain branches of Hung Gar, another of the five major family styles, which do not come from Lau Gar proper, but were originally a Mok Gar empty-hand routine (Lau Gar Kuen 劉家拳) introduced into the curriculum by a student of Lam Sai-Wing named Lau and a Chu/Chow Gar Mantis staff routine (Lau Gar Gwan 劉家棍) introduced into the curriculum by a student of the Chu/Chow Gar Mantis master Lau Shui, after whom the routine was named.
