This is Bak Mei...



Bak Mei ( Bai Mei in Mandarin) means "white eyebrow".

Bak Mei is characterized by its emphasis on powerful close range hand strikes. Within Bak Mei can be found the four principles of Fu (,Float), Chen (, Sink), Tun (, Swallow), and Tuo (, Spit) common in the Southern Chinese martial arts and also found in Karate.

Bak Mei emphasizes the movements of the tiger.

The traditions of Bak Mei Kung Fu trace its origins to Mount Emei, where Bak Mei is said to have transmitted the art to the Chan (Zen) master Gwong Wai, who transmitted the art to the Chan master Juk Faat Wan and the Taoist Fung Fo.
