“Knowledge and skill come at a price and with an obligation.”
Bak Mei, or White Eyebrow, was created by the Taoist Monk Bak Mei during the Ching Dynasty in China. It combines both Shaolin
and Taoist Martial Art techniques into a single fighting style. Bake Mei is considered an internal and external style of Kung Fu.
Forms in Bak Mei are either practiced in full power at top speed, or with little power emphasizing relaxed and fluid movements.
Techniques are executed between short and mid-range distances. When attacking, hand movements are fast and powerful giving
the opponent little or no time to react.
Bak Mei’s movements are based upon the characteristics of the tiger. Many experts consider Bak Mei as a short-armed Southern
Kung Fu style with low deep stances. It is a rare style of Kung Fu that offers students a lifetime of pursuit, promoting overall fitness
and longevity.
Techniques in Bak Mei are not based upon brute strength, but rather accurate attacks to sensitive pressure points. It contains a variety
of kicks, such as front, side, and jumping. Practitioners of this style have deep respect for its traditional roots and heritage.
