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.
Wong Fei Hung
(1850-1933)
Wong Fei Hung
The life of this most charismatic figure has been portrayed in over one hundred movies, starring such greats as Kwan Tak Hing, who just recently passed away at the age of 92 (1 year has been officially added due to his many humanitarian accomplishments), and most recently Jet Li. The real Wong Fei Hung was born in 1850 in Guangdung, Lam Hoi Province, Sai Chu County, Luk Huern Yan villiage, China. His father was Wong Kay Ying, a student and disciple of South Sil Lum Master Luk Ah Choy. He was also one of the earlier 10 Canton Tigers of the late
Ching Dynasty while Wong Fei Hung was one of the later Tigers. Both Wong Kay Ying and Wong Fei Hung were inducted into the "Ten Tigers" while they were still in their early twenties. The other 8 Tigers were all at an advanced age and of a higher kung fu generation. We must note that the positions of the "tigers" was chosen according to Chinese tradition. The oldest or most senior holds the highest position i.e...#1, #2, #3 etc. This placement was given out of respect and had nothing to do with level of skill. It was also apparent that the induction showed
the great respect and had honored the Wong's in that their skills were compared with the Sifu's of a higher generation.
[Young Wong Fei Hung's History]
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.
