Bak Mei and Jing Wu Website

Bak Mei fist started in the late Ching dynasty at Sichuan and Ngor
Mei Mountain by Bak Mei. Bak Mei transferred it to Monk Kwong Hoi, to many other monks and one normal guy (not monk). Futshan Bak Mei was distributed by Sigung Lao Xiu Luang, and Chiu Tai Sun in the early 20^th century, and in the 60's, 70's and 80's it was very popular and the practitioners were from every corner of Futshan.

The main steps of Bak Mei fist are Gow Bo Toi, Sup Baat Mor
Kiu, Sup Gee Kuen, Fu Bo, Sup Baat Fung Chun, Chat Dim Mui Fa, Fa Pow etc.

One of the methods of Chinese fist, the south central fist, according to legend has been transferred by Bak Mei of Sichuan Ngor Mei Mountain and is more popular now-a-days in Sichuan, Canton, Hong Kong, and Macau. Its uniqueness is fierce and strong with strong connectivity and solid steps and a very active waist. Its fist methods have Chung Keun and Bin Keun. The bridge methods have Soi Kiu, Jim Kiu, Sat Kiu, Fung Kiu, etc.. The kicking methods have Ying Jat Tek or Fu Mei Gerk, which is Chan Gai Gerk, Deng Kuok and Hon Gai Bo. The other important fist methods are the Mor Kiew and Mang Fu Chuk Lum

Futshan Bak Mei, which is Buddhist and not Daoist, fist began in the late Ching dynasty by the Bak Mei of the Shichuan Ngor Mei Mountain. Bak Mei transferred it to monk Kwong Hoi and then to other monks, one of them being a fireman named Xiu Fo Dao Yanand was passed to Sigung Lao Xiu Luang. In 1965 Lao Xiu Luang retired and returned to Futshan and he started teaching Bak Mei fist aggressively in Futshan. Before Lao Xiu Luang came to Futshan, Futshan already had a Bak Mei Sifu, Chiu Tai Sun, but Sifu Chiu rarely took students, thus making the influence of that fist method very minimal. At the cooperation of Lao Xiu Luang and Chiu Tai Sun, Bak Mei fist reached its peak in the 70's along with dragon shape fist and became Futshan's most popular fist and its followers came from every corner of Futshan, such as Chung Chuo, Sak Wan, Dip Kao, etc.

The uniqueness of Bak Mei fist is Lap Fu Wai Yeng, Sin Bo Hau Ma, Yu Sang Ma Sai, Foa Chum Tan Tou, Jet Chuok Wang Sau, Mao Tung Chun Tung, Kung Foung Hap Yat .

The structure of the Bak Mei fist method and the shape of the body and hand movement are very important. The light, soft and compact and rapid movements of the hands actively will generate very strong, fierce, tricky, complicated, sinking, floating, opening and closing movements. Further, Bak Mei is a very powerful system and with its advantage of attacking near and quick attracted the interest of many kung fu learners. Bak Mei is easy and efficient, easy to learn and generates fast effects, plus it builds physical health, and increases self-confidence.

The ranking system is: First level (Yellow Sash), Second Level (Red Sash), Third Level (Red Sash with first embroidered black strip), Fourth Level (Red Sash with second embroidered black strip), Fifth Level (Black Sash), Sixth Level (Black Sash with first embroidered yellow strip), and Seventh Level (Black Sash with second embroidered yellow strip). Please Understand that this sash ranking system is only applicable in the USA and we only implement this because of the need, in the USA, for students to have a way of distinguishing levels and expertise. The system also allows the USA student to show something material to strive for, which many of them need and further holds loose clothing close to the body so it will not interfere with the fast hands and highly active waist and body of Futshan Bak Mei Pai.

Both Dr. Ko and Mr. Coconis (Long) are the only authorized and qualified instructors from Sifu Li Yang Jian and the Futshan Jing Wu to teach this rare art worldwide. We bring the pure art of Futshan Bak Mei to the entire world and are the only one's outside of Futshan China teaching and performing it in it's complete correctness. Further Gao Jun Long is currently Sifu Li's only Disciple anywhere in the world. There are no other groups, schools or instructors outside of Futshan China that teach Futshan Bak Mei correctly. We are the only ones.

We offer group classes and are both available to teach private class sessions as well. Prospective students that wish to be admitted in either group or private classes must pass an interview and background check and will only be accepted if and when the Sifu is ready.

The Futshan Bak Mei Sup Gee volume one DVD that includes multiple views of the form performed by Sifu Li Yang Jian and showing the basics of drills, hand patens and footwork plus a brief history of Futshan Bak Mei Pai, is available now.

Please understand that the DVD is not made for learning Futshan Bak Mei, but this volume is made for an introduction to the art and lineage. Nothing can or will replace personal training with a qualified Sifu and this is not how Futshan Bak Mei is taught!

Go Jun Long is currently only available for private instruction. Private instruction means that it will be only the student and the Sifu and the training will be very hard and authentic. The fees below are ONLY for regular monthly instruction and is not meant for students coming in for intensive training. The fee for this type of instruction will be different and it will be the students responsibility to discuss these fees prior to any trip or training, and in certain circumstances prior payment will be required. When coming for this intensive training, the training will be very challenging and it is recommended that prior hard training and conditioning have been done so that the training progression will not be impeded because of soreness or other related injury. It will be the responsibility for the coming student to arrange lodging, transportation, and meals on their own prior to reserving the Sifu's time.

The above statement is meant for interested persons wanting serious training and should be known by everyone that training is not free unless explicitly stated so by the Sifu. The knowledge being taught is made available only because of very hard training and has cost the Sifu's large amounts of money just for transportation to training locations and the fees are used to put back into the art as needed and for further training and perpetuation of the art.

Days/Wk	1	2	3	4
Cost/Mo.
$90.00*
$126.00*
$153.00*

These costs are according to the amount of days per week you want to attend training. The length of each class can vary for a variety of reasons but will not drop below one hour. These costs are not by the hour but by the training day. Classes could go for as long as 1-3 hours at the discretion of the instructor, depending on what is being taught and how much attention the student needs, but what you pay for is one hour per day. If you request more than one hour, the costs will fluctuate accordingly.

So for example for 1-2 days per week you pay $11.25 per class twice a week or $22.50 once a week. For 3 days a week you pay $10.50 per class and for 4 days a week you pay $9.57 per class. If you want more than 4 days a week, fees can be figured but will get pretty expensive due to my availability. Keep in mind that Normal private class training costs are $45-$55 per hour.

* Prices can change at any time, but once you are accepted your fees will remain the same unless you are dismissed or you dismiss yourself.

Only the highest caliber of students will be accepted. Dedication to learning and training the art is of up-most importance in deciding who will be accepted for training. Practice is needed and required everyday even if class time is not scheduled. This is up to the student but will be clearly evident to the instructor. Further, high ethics and honor are also highly sought after along with the students ability to learn the art the way it is taught and supposed to be performed. Keep in mind that Bak Mei is not for everyone and it is completely up to the Sifu who gets accepted and if they earn the right to stay in training. The Sifu can turn away and dismiss students for any reason at any time.
