HEIRS OF THE DRAGON AND THE TIGER

• Why was traditional Kung Fu silenced — and how did it survive?

• What did Sanda preserve — and what was left behind?

• How can we transmit the true spirit of Kung Fu in modern times?

This book is a deep dive into the roots, the losses, and the resilience of traditional Chinese Kung Fu, with a special emphasis on the Choy Lee Fut style — its combative origins, its history of resistance, and the paths that nearly led to the disappearance of its most authentic practices.

The work explores the political repression of traditional combat in China, the rise of Sanda as a sporting solution, the tension between performance and essence, and the dilemmas faced by masters who today seek to balance tradition, effectiveness, and modernity.

Written by a practitioner of Traditional Kung Fu in the Choy Lee Fut style, Hung Sing lineage, this is not merely a historical or technical study — it is a living reflection, born from daily practice, honest research, and a true commitment to keeping Kung Fu faithful to its roots without losing the ability to engage with the present day.

An invitation for those who wish to understand not just the movements of Kung Fu, but the silent history pulsing behind every strike, every form, and every choice made in wuchang (training halls) around the world.
