Further info at http://www.taipinginstitute.com/cours... • Huang Xiaoxia (黄啸侠, 1900-1981), was born in the Panyu County of Guangdong province. Since a young age he loved practicing martial arts and was taught in his youth by many well known masters at the time including Cheng Hua (Hung Kuen), Chan Koon Pak (Choy Li Fut, son of the founder Chan Heung), Lei On Jan (Choy Li Fut, student of founder Chan Heung who took over his studies after Chan Koon Pak passed away). He was a diligent and capable student and absorbed much from his masters. Later, Huang Xiaoxia joined the Guangzhou Jingwu Association and studied arts from the North from such notables as Zhao Lianhe, Chen Shi and Wang Fenggang. He later became a disciple of the Master Sun Yunfeng (Northern Luohan Men) studying for many years. • When the five special teachers were sent south (also known as the five Northern tigers traveling South), these included Wan Laisheng, Gu Ruzhang, Fu Zhensong, Li Xianwu and Huang Xiaoxia (even though Huang Xiaoxia was from the South!, but his arts through Sun Yunfeng and Jingwu were of the North). From 1928-1937 Huang was the instructor for the Guangzhou Natioanl Sports association and also the instructor for a few high schools in the area. In the 1930's the Sino-japanese war broke out and Huang Xiaoxia had a strong sense of helping his nation, further to many incidents and confrontations he also, as an example applied his broadsword skills to train coaches that could help people defend themselves. His patriotism noted in records of the time. In 1938, Huang went to Hong Kong to become instructor for a few schools there including the Jingwu Association. He returned to Guangzhou after the liberation of China in 1949, where he continued his practice and teaching at many institutions across the area. • After an illustrious life of learning many styles, tribulations during war and numerous teaching posts, Huang Xiaoxia developed a unique synthesis of his styles, which became known as Huang Xiaoxia Quan Fa (Huang's Boxing Methods), some of these were published in the 1979 and his techniques passed on by his various students some of the earlier materials, some of the Luohan school whilst others of his synthesised styles. Huang Xiaoxia was one of the great masters of Chinese boxing in Guangzhou in the 20th century.
