- Brief History of
the Shaolin Eagle Claw Style
-
-
- The Shaolin Eagle Claw
Kung-Fu system from northern China. The founder of
this art was a military general who lived during the
Sung Dynasty. (960-1279 DC) His name was Yueh Fei.
General Yueh accumulated a lot of fighting experience
during the wars. After that, he created the first
eagle form which includes 108 grabbing technique and
taught these techniques to his subordinates.
-
-
- Although Eagle Claw Kung-Fu
was crated during the Sung Dynasty, it was popularized
in the Ming Dynasty, (1368-1644 D.C) by a monk named
Lai Chun, master of Fan Tzi system (acrobatic system)
who saw the Eagle Claw's techniques are very useful.
He combined Fan Tzi and Eagle Claw into a single
system. Lai Chun passed this art to a monk named Tao
Chaig. Tao Chaig the taught a monk named Fai Shing. He
also taught many other monks but not civilians.
-
-
- Until the end of the Ching
Dynasty (1644-1911 D.C), Fai Shing taught the system
to a non monk named Lua Shi Tsun. Lua Shi Tsun passed
it to Lau Shing Yau (the 5th generation of Eagle Claw
grandmaster), taught Lau Kai Man and Chan Tsi Cheng's
who were also non monks. At this time, Eagle Claw only
existed in the northern China region.
-
-
- In 1929, the late great
grandmaster Lau Fat Mang (student of Lau Kai Man and
Chan Tsi Cheng) came to southern China and Hong Kong
to teach the Eagle Claw system. On the 17th of March
1964, Lau Fat Mang died in Hong Kong. His eldest
daughter Lily Lau inherited the legacy from him which
earned her the honor of becoming the 8th generation
grandmaster.
