About Us
Historically, the culture and mindset of Pak Mei Kung Fu practitioners has characteristically been reserved and reticent. This was routinely the method and mindset in which the art was safeguarded and passed on.
Following the tragic events of 9-11, 2001, it was very hard to justify maintaining the art in the manner in which is had customarily been imparted. The epicenter of the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center was a mere 2 blocks from our training hall located at 127 Fulton Street. It changed our lives forever as New Yorkers and completely altered our perception of what is truly important in life. Everything came into its proper perspective after that moment. Everything.
It became very clear that there is no permanence to anything, and that everything that we have worked so hard toward in the practice and pursuit of preserving this unique form of pugilism could perish in an instant without any warning, rhyme, or reason. This very harsh reality is what led to the establishment of this association and the presentation of this site.
For those unfamiliar with this unique system, the information provided may shed some light on the standard questions that typically accompany inquiry and research. For the more experienced practitioners, it is hopeful that there may be a fact or two to reinforce what you may already know and to assist you in your quest to further your studies in Pak Mei Kung Fu through the concepts and principles as conveyed under the lineage of Master Kwong Man Fong.
It is only through the discipline of traditional training and the integration of progressive methods that this Chinese martial treasure will be preserved and the inevitable evolution of this fighting system will be facilitated.
