It
is Master Li Siu Hung’s commitment, knowledge and love of
martial arts that is the inspiration for excellence at the Lee
Koon Hung Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu Association. Master Li was born
in 1956 and began his training in 1963 at age 7 under his brother
Grandmaster Lee Koon Hung. Master Li has trained over 40 years
now in Choy Lay Fut and has been teaching since he was a teenager.
A
former full contact fighting champion and champion of forms and
weapons, his brother pushed him very hard and he continues to
push his students to work hard and persevere.
This philosophy of hard work and perseverance is the foundation
of Master Li’s unique style, which requires his personal
involvement with all students, from beginners to instructors.
In
1993, Grandmaster Lee Koon Hung left Hong Kong with his family
to start a new life in the USA. He moved his headquarters to Fort
Lauderdale Florida and asked his younger brother Master Li Siu
Hung to go and help him build the school. Master Li Siu Hung was
working full time and doing very well in Hong Kong, he also is
married and was very happy there. When Grandmaster Lee Koon Hung
held tournaments, Master Li Siu Hung would visit and help out,
but when Grandmaster passed away unexpectedly in 1996, a short
3 years in the USA, the future of the Lee Koon Hung Choy Lay Fut
Kung Fu Association was very unsure.
Several
of Grandmaster Lee Koon Hung’s top students were very successful
teachers and were making a name for themselves. But there were
no other school’s that kept the name “Lee Koon Hung”.
Master Li feared that the name would be lost and his brothers
name would quickly fade as a memory only. Master Li decided to
move to the USA and take over his brother school, and make sure
the name “Lee Koon Hung” would continue to inspire
the next generations to come.
