Description: Long Xing Quan, or Dragon Fist, is said to have been founded by Lam Yu Gwai (1874-1965) from the Guangdong province. According to family legend, Lam's grandfather sheltered a Shaolin monk named Huang Nian Jiao who had fled to Guangzhou during the Qing dynasty. Grateful for his assistance, the monk taught him Dragon style. Master Lam studied with his grandfather from childhood and reached a level of mastery high enough to teach others by the age of 17. He continued to train with his father until age 21, at which point he went on to learn more Dragon from the abbot of Mong Fo Shan Temple, Dai Yuk. Incorporating all these teachings, Lam breathed new life into this venerated style. It is still popular in Hong Kong and Canton, especially among the police, who praise it for its effective Chin Na restraint techniques.
