Grandmaster Chen Rong En

Members of The National Fut Gar Kung Fu Training Centre all know Grandmaster Chen Rong En (Chen Wing Yun) the head of Fut Gar Kung Fu worldwide. He is known as the only person that is still able to teach the entire Fut Gar Kung Fu system and has taken particular interest in the students of our school in Toronto, ON, Canada as the school that will continue to spread/keep alive the style in the future. We now have the help of a sister school in China that was formed a few years ago and an International Fut Gar Federation that was formed about a month ago. There are other schools in the world teaching our branch of Fut Gar Kung Fu (also known as Shaolin Fut Gar/Siu Lum Fut Gar), which was founded by Leung Tin Chiu (Chee) but most are teaching a portion of the style and do not include all the forms. As far as we know, no others are focused entirely on Fut Gar but we would love to hear from anyone who is.

The following video was from a past visit that Grandmaster Chen made to our school and is a slowed down performance of the Dai Bat Sin form. At the time of this video he is 82-83 years of age.
