Chai Lei Fut Kung Fu
Five Animals
Long Range System for self-defence and
health
Bruce Lee claimed that Choi Lai Fut is
one of the martial art styles that he has encountered and has great respect
to this style. He said Choi Lai Fut is the most difficult styles to attack
and defend against.
During the
18th century, the most talented monk in martial arts skill of Shaolin
temple, JueYuan felt the need to seek knowledge from outside the confines
of the temple to keep the fame that the temple enjoyed.
Monk JueYuan set out to serch for ingredian that missing in martial
arts practised in shaolin temple. In Gansu,
a Province in the west of China
populated with not just Han but also Arab and Tibetan Chinese. (Infact It
is still very easy for a novice to confuse Tibetan Crane sequence with Choy
Li Fut.) Here in the city, he met Li Sou, a master of Li family Kung Fu. The Li family have learnt their arts from
the Taoist immortal and other traveling Tibetan hermits from the Wudang and
O Mei Mountains and were passed down through the generations, mostly
staying completely within the Li family.
Li Sou
accompanied JueYuan to Luoyang
to introduce JueYuan to a internal martial arts master Bai Yufeng,
They
returned to Shaolin with Bai Yufeng and expanded JueYuan's 72 techniques to
approximately 170. Moreover, using their combined knowledge, they restored
internal aspects to Shaolin boxing. They organized these techniques into Five Animals: the Tiger,
the Crane, the Leopard,
the Snake,
and the Dragon. These arts of combat become a tool
to adjust balance in life where one could cultivate both spirituality and
physical health in harmony. A efficient way for developing positive
philosophies and meditations to help them be at peace with themselves and their
surroundings.
The origins of Choi Lei Fut

CHAN
HEUNG 1806-1875 at seven years old, began
learning martial arts under his uncle Chan Yuen Woo. Yuen Woo was a famed
master from Shaolin
Temple, and taught
his nephew the Fut Ga Kuen. Fut
Ga (佛家), literally "Buddha Family," specializes
in palm techniques and for this reason is also known as Buddhist Palm.
After years of study with his
uncle, Chan Heung had become a consummate warrior by the early age of 15.
Yuen Woo instruct Chan Heung to seek out
his kung fu elder brother Lei Yau San, a practitioner of the Li (Lei
in Cantonise)family Kung Fu To further his skills.

After five
years of training, it became apparent that Chan Heung was proficient in the
Li family Kung Fu, Chan Heung was then referred to the Shaolin monk Choi
Fook to further his martial arts knowledge. Choi Fook had learned this from
Choi Gau-Yee,founder of Choi family Kung Fu. Choi Gau Lee is the grand
student of Monk JueYuan After years
of intensive study, Chan Heung combined his knowledge of 3 martial arts
systems and called it "Choi Lei Fut" in honour of his teachers.
The
combination of these martial arts system made Choy Li Fut all-round
effectiveness, we use many Choy Li Fut techniques in our Kickboxing
syllabus to enhance all-rounded ability of our students. The
techniques includes grappling, Chin-na, throws, agile footwork and powerful
arm techniques. Chan Heung student's schools opened up all over China during a turbulent period of China's
history.

Fut's many facets, and is used in the traditional Kung Fu syllabus and the
Five Animals Kung Fu syllabus for the intermediate level student.
