Bak Mei Pai Geneology (Lineage)
Bak Mei Dao Yen, Founder.
The monk known as Bak Mei is said to have been one of the legendary Five Elders of Shaolin in the time of the Qing dynasty.
After the destruction of the Shaolin temple, Bak Mei passed on the art to the Monk Kwong Wai. Kwong Wai in turn taught the monk Chuk Faat Wan. Chuk Faat Wan travelled to Guangzhao were he met, and befriended Chueng Lai Cheun.
Eventually Chueng Lai Cheun was accepted as a disciple of Monk Chuk Faat Wan and became the first lay person to learn the art of Bak Mei.
Great Grandmaster Chueng Lai Cheun went on to teach many other great masters such as Ha Hon Hung and Yau Yen Wu.
Yau Yen Wu went on to teach Liu Shao Quan whom also learned from Ha Hon Hung's top disciple Kwan Kwok Fai.
