This style was brought to Malaysia by Cho-Si (ancestral master) Seh Koh San, who became abbot of the Siong Lim Temple in Singapore, and died in 1960 at the age of 74. When Seh Koh San was young he learned Wuzuquan from Cho Pew; and Shaolin Kung Fu (which has been referred to as Fut Gar, Luohanquan, Nanquan) in the form of Ng Ying Kungfu (Chinese: 五形功夫). from chief abbot Wei Jing.[2] One of his students was Quek Hen Choon, who is famous for his demonstrations of Ying Qigong.[3] The style was brought to London in 1979 by one of his students and founder of Nam Pai Chuan, Christopher Lai Khee Choong, and has since expanded to include many centres on the UK and other countries.
