Pui Chan

Wah Lum Pai/Hua Lin Pai 華林派 (Elegant Forest Style) is a Chinese martial art that has its origins in the Northern Praying Mantis System (螳螂拳) created by Wang Long (王朗) in the Shaolin Monastery (少林寺) some 350 years ago.

After several generations, Ching Yueng (澄飬禪師) became the abbot of the Wah Lum Temple (華林寺) located in the Ping To District of the Shantung 山東 Province, China.

[citation needed] It was at the Wah Lum Temple (華林寺) that Lee Kwan Shan (李昆山), an exponent of his family's martial art Tam Tui style, would study Northern Praying Mantis to a level to be given the title of fifth generation heir/lineage holder.

Chan Wan Ching was Lee’s most senior student and continued his school in Hong Kong after his teacher’s death.

It was the first of its kind in the United States where students of all ages and skill levels could go to live and train the Wah Lum Style daily.
