Hung Sing Choy Lay Fut


Choy Lee Fut is one of the most well rounded systems of gong fu in existence today.
It is an integrated system of knowledge that combines traditional Chinese martial arts with traditional Chinese medical practices. Well known for its circular body movements and mobility, it combines the powerful hand techniques of southern styles with the versatile kicks of the northern system. It emphasises the intelligent use of strength and internal/external energies.

Origins
The birthplace of Choy Lee Fut was Ging Mui village in Sun Wui (Xin Hui) district or county of Gwangdong province. Since the Sung Dynasty (960-1280 A.D.), the region around the rugged coastal ledges had been a stronghold of dedicated revolutionaries against the harsh and tyrannical rulings of those in power. The inclination to the martial arts has always been an integrated part of life and custom. This was the background to Choy Lee Fut's coming into being.

Choy Lee Fut has a tradition deeply rooted within the martial arts of the Shaolin Temple. Chan Heung, our founder, spent 20 years learning his art from his three mentors: Chan Yeun Wu, Lee Yau Shan and monk Choy Fook, before combining his knowledge into one effective and comprehensive system. Chan Heung called it Choy Lee Fut to commemorate his teachers and the Buddhist origin of the art.
