THE WORLD OF CHINESE KUNG FU (1)

Against the backdrop of the simple abode of a chinese pugilist is FOK YAT, a hardworking farmer turned KUNG FU master. His well-known lightning moves, particularly the lightning stick, is well-known in Guangzhou. A little-known fact is that his great descendant FOK YUEN actually trained the imperial police in the use of the blistering baton, who then used it against the rebels in the Boxer Uprising.

See him in his various poses on his beloved cool bamboo chair.
