Choy Lee Fut is one of the few original kung fu styles left today that has its own Jerng mun yun. The Jerng mun yun is the actual heir to the family tradition, and as such is entrusted with communicating the style and for keeping it alive through subsequent heirs. The Jerng mun yun is given the whole style with nothing held back from his father, the last Jerng mun yun.

Sifu Chen, Yong Fa was born in China in 1951 and began his training at the age of four under the guidance of of his grandfather - Chan, Yiu Chi. Following Chan, Yiu Chi's death he continued his training under his father, Chan, Wan Hon until he died in 1979. It is now our Sifu's turn to carry on his family's tradition of propagating the art of Choy Lee Fut.
