The Kung Fu fighting style, Five Pattern Hung Kuen, is a traditional southern Chinese martial art dating back to the Siu Lam Shaolin Monastery and was developed by the famous nun Ng Mui and her counterpart monk Miu Hin.
The knowledge of the system was then passed down through various masters. During the earlier part of the last century, Yeung Shut Fu taught it to Yuen Yik Kai, who was to become one of the most respected Kung Fu Grandmasters in Hong Kong. Sadly, Yuen Yik Kai passed away in 1984 but not before teaching the extremely rigorous training to Master Vic Gnash at Yuen Yik Kai's school in Kowloon.
Following many years of study under the Grandmaster, Vic returned to London where he opened a school and in 1971, Mike Jolliff started learning the system from Master Gnash. Mike attained the level of Master himself in 1982 having traveled to China to meet and train with Yuen Yik Kai. Mike had the privilege of training with the Grandmaster a number of times after the visit to China and, since Vic's death in 1996, has led the British Five Pattern Hung Kuen system.
