About Me

Myspace Backgrounds
Greetings, My name is Bryan Chapman. This site is a documentation of my starting down the path of Fook Yueng Chuan, a gung fu style devoloped by Grand Master Fook Yueng. Born in 1918, GM Fook Yueng was a one-time member of a Chinese Red Junk Opera troupe. While there, Mr. Yueng (he prefers Mr. to Master) was exposed to a wide variety of martial styles. Thus, Fook Yueng Chuan is comprised of over 160 martial arts styles. Styles that include several Preying Mantis systems, Red Junk (Hung Suen) Wing Chun, Pa Kua, Crane, Tai Chi, and monkey, as well as Tien Shan Mountain Chi Kung. For personal reasons, GM Fook Yueng has since "folded his hands" to teaching these styles, and concentrates now on promoting health through Chi-kung.

My teacher, is Sifu Steve Smith, inheritor of this rich style.

Additional information may be found at www.thelittledojo.com and www.wuji.com
