A brief biography of Founding Master Lung Tze-cheung

Our Founding Master Tze-cheung Lung was born in San Wui, Guangzhou, China. He was very fond of martial arts. Aged 18, he abandoned schooling and turned to practicing martial arts. He performed an initiation ceremony to a well-known master of Northern martial arts, Yu-cheung Koo. Impressed by his smartness, diligence and inquisitiveness, Master Koo, step by step, passed all his martial art skills to Lung. Our Founding Master thus became an Qigong expert in Northern China martial act, Siu Lam Boxing and all kinds of weaponry. Among them, Tai Chi Quan was his favorite, which he had spent most of his time practicing and studying. Apart from martial arts, he was also an expert in curing traumatism. In 1935, he became the head of teaching affairs of Guangzhou Martial Arts Institute and the officer-in-charge of the competition department, Guangzhou Martial Arts Association. When Japan invaded China in 1937, he led his students to China's hinterland and used his traumatism healing skills to cure the injured. All his patients praised his curing power and good words about him spread far and wide. He came to Hong Kong after Japan surrendered and later set up the China Health Club of which he was the head of teaching affairs. In 1949, he was employed by the Hong Kong Knitting General Trade Union as the officer-in-charge of the Club. In 1950, he became the instructor of the Kowloon General Chamber of Commerce where he developed Koo's style Tai Chi Quan. Grand Master Lung was enthusiastic about social welfare and extremely kind-hearted. He was the president of Yaumati Residents' Association for many years, contributing a lot to social services during his tenure. Later he became the lifetime honorary president of the Association. All his students and followers were pleased to have a mentor like him. Master Lung was a perfect gentleman always showing consideration for the feelings of other people. People who saw a man acting in such an honorable way did not know he was really somebody in the world of martial arts.
