| Style history and founder:- The system really has got no links with the other tiger styles practiced worldwide or in china itself and is rather a whole family art founded in assimilation of various age-old techniques and esoteric principles. Formulated in the year 1934 By Great Grandmaster Sijo Chung .H. Yue. Sijo Yue , was born in 1884 to a family of eminent scholars and martial arts practitioners in the city of She in Shantung Province of China. He started studying the art of Cha style Mongolian boxing from his father, Sifu.Sin and Lung ying jaw dragon from his younger uncle Sifu Shen. His father and his uncle were known as “Shen &Shin” brothers and they were of Sino-Mongoloid background and apart from practicing these two known styles of Cha Boxing and Lung ying Jaw , they also had a family fist known simply as “Yue Ga” which was based on twisting horse stances and open palm side ways fighting and a specially trained fists was used resembling the famed “Phoenix” in Chinese martial arts it is known as the Phoenix fists. Grandmaster Yue , started his martial arts training from the age of 10 in 1894 which was not uncommon at all and self defense and gung fu training was a national treasure for all Chinese. For the next 20 continuous long years he dedicated himself to his father and uncle’s art. Their family was basically of traders in fruits and fine arts and both his uncle and his father were excellent calligraphers. After 20 years passed he left home hooked by eager desire to learn more of martial arts. His first stop was in Kwangtung [Canton] province of china. Here he was referred by his father to study the art of Nam Tong Long under a amazing famous master referred too only by the name of Master Tze [ My doubt could be the famous master Chow Tze], who was supposed to have the fastest hands at that time in all of Kwangtung.Which style of Tong Long it was is not clearly known except being southern style based with the opening three kuens known as Pa Sith [ 8 style ] , Kuophuchin [ power reeling style] and Xin Ghyan [new style] all three which I still use today. He practiced Tong Long style for 7 years and returned home in Shantung but as his father and uncle both were involved in revolutionary battles against foreign infiltration were evading persecution and then somewhere in 1911 due to some political problem he fled to china’ northern most border province of Sin kiang Uighur[Xinkiang] , where they had a family ancestral home. He did various odd jobs while his father and uncle were trying to set up a small business. In around 1916 he married and Grand-Master Choy [ my teacher] was born in 1917, the year of the Snake. who needless to say got all of his fathers martial arts skill and started a early tutelage aged 5 in 1922 till the time his father was killed in revolutionary war aged 58.[Special charges were put on “Thiet chao shen- iron hand Shen]. Grandmaster choy , carried on his martial arts training under his younger Grand uncle Master Shen who was still alive but ailing. Grandmaster Choy refined his fathers art adding kicks and Chinna , hei kung and at first called it as Xin Fa Chuan Hsu –New style of boxing fists. He was very gentle and tranquil of mind and never indulged in fights but for some reasons he got drawn in to few major fights including the open stage fights in those days called “Ta lei ta shan sou” and in three decisive fights between so called masters of kung fu he emerged victorious in the first few rounds. His mixed combat style of Yue ga and Xin Fa chuan was difficult to predict and fight. One such fight was against noted Shaolinquan master Huang of Hobei and surprisingly defeated him. With few family members remaining and facing a possible political persecution he left his mother and grand uncle at Sinkiang and fled. He had to cross NingSia region mountain ranges and here he chanced apon a huge black Jaguar , observing the animal closely at hunting prey and being fascinated by its skills named the art as “SHAN FU JOW”.In Ningsia the place of the Hui minority. He was again taught by an old accomplished master of free style kung fu but , we dont know yet what was the style. News reached his ears that soldiers were coming in search of him and so he traveled at once across the vast mountain ranges with help of revolutionary bandits , robbers and country village folks. He is said to have traveled through Tibetan isolated terrains and managed to reach the Shan province of Burma. It was considered no mans land and miles around not a soul was to be found but as fate would have it , by chance he was saved and given safe shelter in a very special but isolated monastery of Dharma. After few days was spent in resting , he narrated his whole story to the head Lama teacher who showed him great affection and welcomed him to stay as long as possible following the monastery rules. One day while going along the mountain steppes as usual to fetch firewood he lost his path back and started fumbling his way when he found he stood in front of a huge but vast temple remains and a sealed cave door. He glimpsed an extra ordinary old man practicing some form of martial arts from a crack in the cave door and was also caught doing so. Next follows as I was told by my master ….The old man immediately knew someone was watching him and so he did something with his hands that I could not run nor move [ this skill was used by higher kung fu /silat or arnis masters in past called Rahasia]. Old man came out from another entrance and severly scolded me. I then lay prostrate at his feets and told him I was a refugee from China and my family was killed and Abbot gave me shelter and basically my whole story. When he returned to the monastery that eve and narrated the events to the Head Lama who was very excited and gave him the news that this old man is in fact the legendary patriarch Head Lama Grand Master LAW KAY TOON, of the most secret sough after clandestine Taoist sect “Monastery of light” and we are all his students. He was told locals knew this monastery as Siddha Gompa or monastery of perfect beings. Days passed and Master Choys relationship with Grandmaster Toon became closer and Choy was given charge of bringing food to the old master. In Master Choys words “ days passed by and I watched him, he ate one fruit and a glass of milk in 24 hours and was always engaged in deep meditation and he practiced all weird forms of martial arts I have never seen nor understood. I have seen him move rocks and boulders with pointed fingers alone and I was fascinated and terrified. Back at the monastery he enquired and was informed that Master Toon is the sole practitioner and keeper for the lost martial arts internal way called Shen chan -Hsing Hoon and he was well over 100 years old. His most amazing skills were one finger & two finger chan kung fu and Taoist chi kung and special magical kung fu. Master Choy persuaded the old master to take him as a student and thus paved the way for advanced teachings. Here master Choy was introduced to the concepts of highest Taoist principles but also another deep dark secret of Chainik Tantra Saar[ we call this Chien Ti], which was too unique and deadly at the same time, and I am on promise not to discuss this openly. Grandmaster Choy assimilated these very teachings of Great Master Lama Law Kay Toon into Shan Fu Jow and so we still today follow. Grandmaster Choy came to India after crossing Burma and came down to settle in Siliguri city [ Border to Nepal and Tibet] of the British East India Company in 1957 just 10 years after India’s independence. He took shelter in the China Market where he started running a small leather repair shop and Chinese eatery. At this time he was 40 years old. He married an elderly lady from the city who had an untimely death at childbirth and after that grandmaster was a Widower. Grandmaster did train the Royal Family high guards in Nepal and Tibet and was much sought after by other royal families In 1970 he came down to Calcutta city China Town where he continued with his leather repair shop and making Iron hand liniment for people. Soon news spread like wild fire that a famous fighter had come from china and expert in gung fu , he was invited to start teaching which he reclined decently. At that time there were 6-7 kung fu experts in Calcutta city china town .One of them being Master Sifu Kim kang Chen , Master Chens father had been one of the body guards to Chang Kai Sheik and was from Taiwan. They both became friends and then came along Master Tony Wong of Shanghai a very decent and sublime practitioner expert in a style known as Shanghai long fists. They all accepted Grandmaster as their superior teacher and acknowledged him as a great master of internal arts. Master Choy taught after much persuasion in a Chinese church nearby and in very select groups.in 1984 the association was formed by the three masters and Grandmaster Choy and named “ Yue Ga Shan Fu Jow Fang Fah Gung fu Kwoon Pai . which was later renamed at Master Tigers requisition to make it more accessible as “Asian Shan fu jow gung fu organization”. The other Sifu to join was Master Sifu David Phang of Shantung Black Tiger Hak fu chao. Grandmaster Choy died in 1997 at the ripe age of 80 years with only GrandMaster Hebron succeeding him. ?The History and tradition as narrated to Grandmaster Tiger by Great Grandmaster Sijo Yue himself.Its authentication has been undertaken by Grandmaster Tiger himself and proved to be genuine.Grandmaster Tiger is still very much desirous of knowing which mantis style was taught to Sijo Yue and which mantis forms he himself practises. {This is a trademark of a most genuine and ever growing martial arts teacher} |
