Southern Chinese Kung Fu - Choy Lay Fut

'Choy Lay Fut' kung fu was founded in 1836 in the Village of 'King Mui' in the 'Sun Wui' district 'Guangdong' province, by the Han patriot 'Chan Heung Goon'. 'Chan Heung Goon' was born in 1806, and he began his martial arts training at a young age first learning 'Hung Gar Kuen' kung fu from one of his clansman 'Chan Yeun Wu' for a period of nearly ten years. He then went on to learn from a monk named 'Lay Yau Shan' with whom he spent several years learning to master his style ('Lee Gar Kuen'). Later on 'Chan Heunq Goon' proceeded to 'Law Fu Shan' to spend twelve years with a monk named 'Choy Fook' from whom he learned all about 'Choy Fook's style of kung fu. 'Chan Heung Goon' created a new style by combining what he had learned from his two teachers and became the founder of 'Choy Lay Fut' kung fu. The title 'Choy Lay Fut' was in commemoration of his two teachers 'Choy Fook' and 'Lay Yau Shan'. The last character of the name was meant to depict the martial art of Buddhist devotees.
