This system stresses fast and powerful stance transitions coordinated with
devistating combinations of smashing-swinging fists, grabs, throws, roundhouses,
uppercuts, punches, strikes and kicks. Although Choy Lay Fut's parentage
reaches back to the 6th century A.D., it's synthesis
by Master Chan Heung into a unique
style occured in the 1830's. Initially, Choy Lay Fut was a secret, emergency
combat style used during the turbulent period of civil wars in China. It
has slowly become very wide-spread and today is a very popular style of
kung fu.
