The Style


The name Hung Tao Choy Mei is a symbolic reference to the Jow Ga style or system of Kung Fu.

The traditional martial art known as Jow Ga, founded by Grandmaster Jow Lung, combines some of the best fighting techniques from the Northern and Southern Shaolin styles. This unique style of fighting incorporates the muscular and mighty movements of Hung Gar Kung Fu and the swift footwork of Choy Ga to develop a fighting system which emphasizes simultaneous attacks and defenses. Because of its unique mixture of styles, Jow Ga is often labeled as having the head of Hung, the tail of Choy, and the patterns of the tiger and leopard, or simply Hung Tao Choy Mei.

The system or style of Kung Fu taught at the Hung Tao Choy Mei Academy, is the Jow Ga style as promoted through its' recognized grandmaster Chan Man Cheung of Hong Kong.
