ABOUT US

We are traditionalists who enjoy studying the Choy Lai Fut system not only as a martial arts system per se, but also because we enjoy delving into the history and makeup of both the style and the Chinese culture. To us, it's a way of life that is healthy, positive, and constructive.

The instructors, Hali Wong and Carmen Choy, have been training partners at the Wong Ha Athletic Association for many years. We pride ourselves in being fairly well rounded - in our years of training with Grandmaster Wong Ha as his disciples, we have studied numerous fist and weapon forms as well as hand to hand combat (non-tournament style). We are also one of the only all-female lion dance teams in Vancouver!

Sifu Wong ("Sifu Hali" to our students) spent the first few years in kungfu with one of Grandmaster Wong Ha's students, and has since dedicated 25 years of her life to the study of Choy Lai Fut. She has won awards in numerous tournaments for her fist and weapon forms, and in 1993 was the Pacific Northwest Grand Champion. However, she left the tournament circuit soon after to devote herself to training 7 days a week under Wong Ha, who is considered the Grandmaster of Choy Lai Fut in Vancouver. Practically all of her Choy Lai Fut knowledge today is from Grandmaster Wong Ha, as even her old training was put under scrutiny and tweaked to his satisfaction. She has taught the system in various places, including Strathcona Community Centre, Hon Hsing Athletic Association, and the University of British Columbia. In addition, she has taught many self-defense courses for women. She is currently partnered with Sifu Carmen Choy in running the Choy Lai Fut Martial Arts Hall.

She has been involved in the Hung Hsing Choy Lai Fut Federation of Canada for many years, and is currently the president. She has been invited to take part in various master's exhibitions in both Vancouver and Seattle. In addition, she has also taught self-defense courses with Sifu Wong at the University of British Columbia.

The Choy Lai Fut Martial Arts Hall is associated with the Hung Hsing Choy Lee Fut Federation of Canada.
