Choy Gar Kung Fu, founded by Choy Gau Yee, is the lightning-fast branch of the Southern Chinese martial arts Five Family Styles. Known for its agile footwork, rapid Leopard and Snake forms, and precision striking, Choy Gar thrives on speed, chaos, and decisive offense. More than a fighting system, it is a philosophy of movement and survival—teaching practitioners to strike first, fast, and with overwhelming precision.
