Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis system of Kung Fu was created by Master Wong Long over 350 years ago in Shangtung province. Over the years, several branches emerged, one being the Wah Lum Praying Mantis System, named for the Wah Lum (Forest Garden) Temple in Jinan, China. A skillful Martial artist studying there, Lee Kwan Shan, later combined his family style, Tam Tui (emphasizing strong leg movements) with the Wah Lum praying mantis to form a well rounded, effective system known as Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu. The Wah Lum style incorporates the use of over 30 different types of weapons: long (spear), short (broadsword), flexible (three sectional stick) and double (double daggers), along with many empty hand forms. Wah Lum uses approximately 70% legs, 30% hands.
