Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu & Qigong

Its popularity is due to the fact that it is a system structured in its bases, with a history documented until its roots in the famous Shaolin temple in China. It has a wide range of technical options and use of various traditional weapons, as well as the use of wooden dummies as training instruments, as complete as any other Kung Fu style.
