Ho Lap Tin was born on December 2,
1916 in Cao Zhou, Guangdong. He greatly admired those with a military spirit and the idea of a
"noble warrior" in his youth. He first learned Chinese boxing in his home
village. His dignified bearing marked him as a man of
strength. Later on, under the teaching and guidance of Master
Cui Yan Kai whose father was the chief armed escort of the
Anhui Professional Establishment of Armed Escorts, Ho Lap Tin not only learned martial arts but also learned Chinese medicine and studied
"tit da"- the healing arts for bruises and sprains. This organization belonged to the
Northern sect of Chinese boxing. Ho Lap Tin studied zealously and was highly successful as a student in both Chinese boxing and Chinese
medicine. |

Ho Lap Tin greatly admired Chinese martial artist
Dong Fong. Dong Fong had a good reputation and his martial arts originated from the
Siu Lum (Southern Shaolin) Temple. In an effort to bring Siu Lum martial arts and its philosophy to a broader population in China with an eye to building the
country, masters such as
Hung Hei Gune and Luk Ah Choi had handed down the essential teachings
(in the
South of Five Ridges). Wong Kay Ying carried forward
Luk Ah Chois's skills which had been handed down and guarded
secretly.
Wong Kay Ying worked to further develop expertise in Chinese martial arts and to promote martial
moralities. He enjoyed great fame and was nicknamed "One of the
Ten Tigers of Guangdong." His son, Wong Fei Hung not only followed in the footsteps of his father but further developed the
form. His students spread the form throughout the world. Master
Tang Fong was Wong Fei Hung's favorite
disciple. He established a martial arts school at
Dai He Ji in Guangzhou and opened a "Yee Yong Tong" (Hall of Righteousness and Courage) to coach selected
students.
Ho Lap Tin formally became a pupil of Dong Fong at this time to learn martial
arts. When the war to oppose the Japanese Invasion of China broke
out,
Ho Lap Tin joined the Chinese Army as a military martial arts officer to train the
Broadsword Brigade and to also train soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. He suffered untold
hardships, yet was unswervingly devoted to serving China... |

ABOUT
THE BOOK |
|
The
Shooting Star set was developed in the middle of XX century by
master Ho Lap Tin on the base of traditional forms and techniques of the
Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu: Tiger and
Crane, Five Elements, Ten Animals, Twelve
Bridges, Ten Killing Hands etc. Unlike other sets in
Hung Gar Kung Fu which emphasizes the "Tiger
Claw" technique, this set includes many methods of
"Leopard Fist".
Ho Lap Tin Sifu began his martial arts training at an early age under
Cui Yan Kai. Later in Canton he was accepted as a student and started his training in
Hung Gar under well-known master Dong Fong.
Dong Fong is one of the disciples of legendary Wong Fei Hung and class mate of famous
Lam Sai
Wing.
The illustrations in this text are of Sifu Ho himself performing all postures for the
"Shooting Star Fist".
