DRAGON STYLE KUNG FU
Dragon Style was originated in the late 1800's by the Shaolin nun, Ng Mui. The system was refined by the monk Tai Yuk and again by his disciple, Lam Yew Kwai. Grandmaster Lam passed the system to Cho Sam. Strong & fast, the Dragon Style is noted for it's unusual slide-stepping and arm positioning. The Dragon fighter presses his attack close-in to prevent the opponent from retaliating.
