Grandmaster Pui Chan is one of the greatest martial arts pioneers of his generation. His global impact on the spread ofKung Fu cannot be denied. After immigrating to the United States, he built an empire around the practice of traditional Northern Tam Tui Praying Mantis Kung Fu, named after the venerated monastery where this style originated, the Wah LumTemple in Shandong, China. In 1980, he established one of the first Kung Fu temples on American soils. It still stands today in Orlando, Florida. This was long before the Shaolin monks arrived here, long before they began establishing any sort of Kung Fu Temple. In fact, Grandmaster Chan led the first U.S. tour to Shaolin Temple in 1986, and was an integral coordinator of the very first Shaolin monk tour to America in 1992. Today, Wah Lum officially recognizes over thirty schools opened by Grandmaster Chan’s pupils, all around the world. Chan has taught countless students, certified an untold number of masters, and established a worldwide martial legacy that is both unprecedented and inspirational.
