Choy Li Fut 蔡 李 佛
Choy Li Fut is a system of Southern Kung Fu that originated in King Mui Village in the San Woi district of Guangdong. It was founded by a man named Chan Heung 陳享 in 1836, naming the art after his teachers Choy Fook 蔡褔, Li Yau San 李友山, and then "Fut" 佛 which means Buddha to pay homage to his uncle Chan Yuen Woo 陳遠護) who taught him the art of Shaolin Kung Fu. It has since become a world renowned martial art and one of the most famous styles of Southern Kung Fu.
Over the years many schools have opened up and associations have grown, and now Choy Li Fut can be distinguished into different Lineages, named after the location of the school or the main instructor. The style of Choy Li Fut that I practice and teach is from the Plum Blossom International Federation and Doc-Fai Wong. It is comprised of three seperate Choy Li Fut lineages from Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong's three teachers; Hung Sing Choy Li Fut from Lau Bun, Jiangmen Choy Li Fut from Wong Gong, and King Mui Choy Li Fut from Hu Yuen Chou.
