One of the many virtues that separates Yee's Hung Ga Kung Fu from your local McDojo is our documented Hung Ga lineage. We take pride in being the 5th generation from the legendary Chinese Master, Wong Fei Hung. Our style's roots and origins date back to the 18th century and we are recognized worldwide for teaching the Tang Fong Hung Ga lineage.
Tit Kiu Sam
Tit Kiu Sam was the nick name of a fellow whose real name was Leung Kwan. He was born in Gwan Dong Lam Hoi in 1813. He loved martial and began studying at a very young age. Tit Kiu Sam learned from the Abbot Gwok Yan of the Fu Kien Po Tim Sil Lum Temple. He lived in the temple as a layman monk for 7 years. He practiced intensively in Sil Lum Hung Ga under the watchful eye of his teacher. Later the Abbot monk Gwok Yan passed away at the age of 110 years old. Tit Kiu Sam became saddened and left the temple. During his wanderings he happened upon a place
known as "long bridge", where martial artists came to demonstrate and test their skills. He became very excited and wanted to demonstrate his skills. He had six men hold onto his extended arm and carried them 100 steps. He earned his nick name here for having an iron fore arm. The name Tit Kiu Sam means" iron bridge number three". He was the third child in his family thus the three at the end of his nick name. Tit Kiu Sam was well known for helping people in the Mo Lum (martial arts forest) and was very respected Master of the late Ching Dynasty.
Gee Sim Sim Si and Hung Hei-Goon have been acknowledge as the founders of the Hung Ga Kuen System. However, due to the lack of evidence of their existence we recognize them, but do not include them as part of our lineage.
