Style: Tai Shing Monkey

Description: Tai Shing was created by Kou-Sze near the turn of the century at the end of the Qing dynasty.

Kou-Sze was a prisoner at the time with a background in northern style kung fu. During his time in prison he was able to observe the daily antics and playing of monkeys from his window. From these observations, he created this particular style of Monkey kung fu. It includes the monkey form and the stone monkey form.

Eventually, kou-Sze passed his art down to Ken Tak Hoi, who later passed it on to Cho Chi Fung and Cho Chat Ling.
