The history of the Eagle Claw Kung Fu style is rich and illustrious, dating back over 850 years to the Sung Dynasty. General Yui Feh created the core system of Eagle Claw Kung Fu during that time. The style was further refined by Grand Master Lau Fat Mang, the founder's youngest daughter, Gini Lau. Lau Fat Mang utilised his martial arts skills during the Second World War, leading the 19th Regiment Dai Do Brigade, renowned for their night raids on Japanese encampments.
The legacy of Eagle Claw Kung Fu continues through the World Eagle Claw Association today.
