Jyu Jik Chuyhn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jyu Jik Chuyhn 朱亦傳 (1892-1980) was born in the Toi-San district of Guangdong province and began his training in martial arts at an early age. Originally learning Hung Kuyhn and later Choy Lay Fut from a monk named Choy Ying. Choy Ying introduced Jyu Jik Chuyhn to Jaang Saan Ying, head Monk of the Clear Cloud Temple in Toi San.

Jyu Chuyhn studied a wide variety of martial arts under the tutelage of Jaang Saan Ying. He was trained in other arts such as “Nam Ying Jao Kuyhnn” (Southern Eagle Claw) and “Ngok Fei Pai” (named after and created by the famous General Ngok Fei). His training in these styles prepared him for what he would learn under both Wong Lam-Hoi and Wong Yan-Lam.

Jyu Jik Chyuhn first learned Lama Pai under the direction of Wong Lum Hoi. Such an accomplished martial artist was Jyu Jik Chyuhn that he learned all of Wong Lum Hoi’s Lama Pai hand and weapon sets in under 7 years. Towards the end of his training he sought out the teachings of Wong Yan Lum upon his return to Guangdong. He spent many years learning different forms from Wong Yan Lum until he completed the Lama Pai Style.
