My Jhong Law Horn Kung Fu
Sifu Jimbo studied the My Jhong Law Horn Style Kung Fu under Grand Master Lee. In 1991, he was appointed as the first chosen successor to Grandmaster Lee and started teaching full-time.
Our History
The mastery of the Northern Shaolin Kung Fu system known as My Jhong is the guarded legacy of the Foh’s Clan. It is therefore known as Foh’s Fist, which, by the time it was mastered by Foh Yuan-chia (founder of the Chin Woo School) of the early 20th century, had been taught for seven generations. Like the Northern Kung Fu styles of Tai Chi, Erh Long, Fan Tze, Pa Kua, Cha Tsuan and Tan Tui, it belongs to the ‘long-fist’ school of martial arts. The viability of the My Jhong School lies in the alacrity and shrewd precision of its movements, which, precipitous while in attack, forces its opponents to focus on defending themselves, rather than attacking.
​
The My Jhong Law Horn Style is a branch of the My Jhong School, and is characterized by the peculiar versatility of the hand movements and foot work involved. With markedly fleeting movements and nimble jumps, a typical My Jhong Law Horn form metamorphoses from a side-blow to a flying kick in mid-air, or to a sweeping stroke beneath the legs. In the face of such unpredictable moves, now upwards, now downwards, the opponent is often left at his wits’ end. To top it all, every maneuver is so minutely devised that it transcends prediction. With the hands, eyes, body and feet in one coordinated motion of agility and swiftness, the practitioner can deal far-reaching blows. Designed to strike from a wide range, the form has a flexible and extensive stretch. Beneath the ostensibly fragile stance lurks a tremendous force from which the very potency and strength characteristic of this style generates. This is what truly makes My Jhong Law Horn a renowned style of Kung Fu of Northern China.
​
The fighting prowess of My Jhong Law Horn is based on mobility and deception, on timing, distance and multiple angles. Such an unpredictable combination will leave a defendant confused and vulnerable to My Jhong Law Horn’s deadly blows. After Grandmaster Yip brought the art from Northern China to the South, My Jhong Law Horn is now taught in Hong Kong, Canada and U.S.A. ​
