Pak Mei, or White Eyebrow Kung Fu, is a comprehensive classical Chinese martial art masterfully developed by modern-day founder Cheung Lai Chuen during the early part of the 20th Century. Known as an efficient and effective fighting system, Pak Mei Kung Fu is based upon integrated body methods and unified martial movements. In close range combat, these elements were essential to one's survival and continue to be the foundation of a successful self-defense structure. While the concepts, principles, and training methods detailed in this work are unique to Pak Mei Kung Fu, their skills and goals are common across all quality martial arts. Williy Pang has over 30 years of interest and experience in Chinese martial arts with nearly 20 years dedicated to the art of Pak Mei Kung Fu. He has authored numerous articles on this sophisticated self-defense system in addition to his other work, Pak Mei Kung Fu: Southern Style Staff.

Pak Mei, or White Eyebrow Kung Fu, was first introduced to the martial world of Guangdong Province, China during the early part of the 20th Century by Master Cheung Lai Chuen. Considered the modern-day founder of this fighting art, Cheung Lai Chuen drew upon his collective combative experiences to formulate a comprehensive system of effective and efficient fighting methods. While its reputation has primarily been built upon its unique approach toward hand-to-hand combat, Pak Mei maintains an equally impressive array of traditional Chinese weaponry within its martial repertoire. Among the fundamental armaments of China's civilian population, the staff was the most accessible and ready to use. Daai Jan Gwan, literally the Great Formation Pole, is a foundational Pak Mei weapon set designed to defend against multiple assailants. On a broader scale, this routine reveals many shared common characteristics found in traditional Southern Chinese martial arts. Its fundamental principles, training methods, and combative concepts exemplify the essence of nearly all traditional Southern Chinese staff methods. Williy Pang has over 30 years of interest and experience in Chinese martial arts with nearly 20 years dedicated to Pak Mei Kung Fu under the lineage of Master Kwong Man Fong in New York City. Pang has written numerous groundbreaking articles on the principles and praxis of Pak Mei Kung Fu.

Folktales are the foundation of ancient cultures. They were the stories that attempted to explain why things happened, or tried to convey lessons that needed to be learned. It was this oral tradition and intimate experience that brought people together in the spirit of both education and entertainment. Shengxiao jinian, literally "born resembling the standard year," refers to the Chinese Zodiac. There are many versions of this classic folktale with no particular adaptation being more authentic than the other. Depending on who told the story, different parts were often emphasized or reinvented. This version of the grand race to claim an honorary year within the Asian lunar calendar features an unsung animal - the cat. There is wonder at every moment and wisdom at each animal's finish. Williy Pang is an educator and author who was born, raised, and resides in New York City.

A serious study of martial arts encompasses a consistent combination of: refining and reinforcing structures; cultivating and developing martial strengths; and, assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of combative strategies. Additionally, each of these areas and their respective utilities are defined by physical, psychological, and metaphysical factors that will generally influence the practitioner's progress and enhance the individual's overall well-being. These key constituents: structure, strength, and strategy, will be explored and examined through the lens of Pak Mei Kung Fu, a traditional Chinese martial art with classical ties to venerable traditions and promising possibilities within the context of contemporary martial arts. Williy Pang is the author of several books as well as a wide variety of feature articles on Pak Mei Kung Fu.
