OUR LINEAGE
The Moy Yee Kung Fu Club was founded by Grandmaster Henry Moy Yee. Grandmaster Moy Yee studied Ving Tsun for almost 60 years under Grandmaster Moy Yat. In addition, Grandmaster Moy Yee has studied various systems and styles under many respected Sifus whose expertise includes: Tai Chi Quan, Shaolin Quan, various forms of traditional and non traditional Chinese weaponry. With over sixty years of Kung Fu training, Grandmaster Moy Yee has committed much of his life to the study of martial arts and shares his teachings with the world. He founded his school, Moy Yee San Jong, in 1996 as a place for students to attain high-level knowledge of martial arts. The name “San Jong” translates to “Mountain Estate,” and references the historical practice of training kung fu in solitude to achieve great physical, intellectual, and spiritual knowledge. The Moy Yee Kung Fu Club at Columbia University continues in the teachings and traditions taught by Grandmaster Henry Moy Yee.
