Origins of Hung Gar

From Shaolin to the Streets of Southern China

Our roots begin with the legendary Shaolin Temple, destroyed under Qing rule. One of its surviving monks, Jee Sin Sim See, passed his martial knowledge to a line of warriors who would define Southern martial arts.

Wong Fei-Hung, his son: a doctor, teacher, and fighter, now a cultural hero

Wong Fei-Hung took multiple Southern styles and forged them into the highly structured and versatile system we know today:

Hung Gar.

The Lam Family Legacy

Lam Sai Wing, a student of Wong Fei-Hung and already a master of Fut Gar, expanded the system with his own experience. He trained his adopted nephew Lam Cho, whose skill and teaching helped popularize Hung Gar worldwide. Lam Cho’s sons — Lam Chun Fai, Lam Chun Sing, and Lam Chun Chung — continue to preserve and spread their family’s teachings today.

Our Direct Line of Transmission

We proudly carry on this tradition through Sifu Eddie Lane, a student of Buck Sam Kong (who trained directly under Lam Cho) — and through direct training with Lam Cho and his sons. Sifu Lane passed these teachings to Sifu Devlin Miller, founder of Iron Lotus Kung Fu. Every class, every form, every principle taught in our school is an extension of this authentic and unbroken lineage.
