THE SHAOLIN TEMPLES- for centuries they were China's centers of Buddhism, learning-and the mental and physical discipline known as kung-fu. But the despotic Manchu Emperors of China feared the knowledge of the Shaolin monks-and destroyed the temples.
Dispersed, the monks fled, carrying their knowledge of marital arts with them. In 1836, one young martial artist named Chan Heung took the knowledge of kung-fu that he had learned from high-ranking survivors of the Shaolin Temple and created a devastating martial art that combined the punching skill of Southern Chinese systems with the devastating kicks of Northern styles-and thus choy li fut was born.
Now Master Doc Fai Wong, a fifth generation disciple, reveals the true history of choy li fut, its techniques, forms, and the secret fighting principles that make it one of the most devastating forms of combat known to man.
