Eagle Claw kung fu is one of the oldest, most complete, and devastating of the surviving Northern Shaolin styles. The style is said to have started ca. 1130 AD, at a time of Mongolian incursions into northern China, General Ngok Fei learned techniques from a Shaolin monk named Jow Tong. Ngok Fei adapted and taught these techniques to his army which went on to many battlefield victories. These techniques were called “108 Fighting Techniques”. Later, during the Ming Dynasty, a monk, Lai Chin, created the Northern Eagle Claw by combining General Ngok Fei’s 108 Fighting Techniques with the Faan Tzi system, an acrobatic style.
 
In the 1920s, one of the top fighters in China was Eagle Claw master Chan Tzi Ching. One of his top students was Ng Wai Nung, who went on to study and assist another famous Eagle Claw master Lau Fat Mon. Leung Shum is Grandmaster Ng Wai Nung’s godson, and pioneered Eagle Claw kung fu in America in the 1970s.

Both a history of the style and a biography of a living legend of the martial arts world, this documentary is replete with secrets of Eagle Claw kung fu system and Wu Tai Chi Chuan along with philosophical gems from Grandmaster Leung Shum himself.
