English subtitlesChoy Lay Fut (Cantonese)蔡李佛 is a Chinese martial arts system founded in 1836 by Chan Heung. Choy Li Fut was named to honor the Buddhist monk Choy Fook who taught him Choy Gar, Li Yau-San who taught him Li Gar, and his uncle Chan Yuen-Wu who taught him Fut Gar, to honor the Buddha from which the art was named.Choy Lay Fut 蔡李佛 combines the martial arts techniques from various Northern and Southern Chinese kung-fu systems; the powerful arm and hand techniques from the Shaolin animal forms from the South, combined with the extended, circular movements, twisting body, and agile footwork that characterizes Northern China’s martial arts. It is considered an external style, combining soft and hard techniques as well as incorporating a wide range of weapons as part of its curriculum.

It contains a wide variety of techniques, including long and short range punches, kicks, sweeps and take downs, pressure point attacks, joint locks, and grappling.Ng Lun Ma (Five Wheels Horse)The fundamental Set of the System, teaches Stances and Footwork.
