Encyclopedia > Bok Fu

Bok Fu is a style of Kung Fu developed by the Shaolin monk and swordsman Fong Sai Yuk (also known as Fong Do Duk). "Bok fu" translates, literally, into the way ("fu") of the white tiger ("bok"), and as such Fong Sai Yuk's style was "White Tiger Kung Fu." This philosophy has since been applied to many different styles, including by Richard Lee of East West Karate, and it is not uncommon to see "White Tiger Kenpo" or "White Tiger Jujitsu." Fong Sai Yuk, also known as Fang Shi Yu in Mandarin or The Legend in North America, is a 1993 Hong Kong kung fu movie starring Jet Li and directed by Corey Yuen. ... Richard Henry Lee (January 20, 1732–June 19, 1794) was the sixth President of the United States in Congress assembled under the Articles of Confederation, holding office from November 30, 1784 to November 22, 1785. ...


Well known practitioners include Richard Lee of East West Karate, Ron Lee of West Wind Karate, Robert Ito of Ito's White Tiger, and M.L. Cerpok of Byakko Ryu Jujutsu.
