Grandmaster Sam (Siu-Ming) Lee
GM Sam Lee devoted much of his life to the practice and teaching of martial arts with a strong focus on Qi Gong and its healing qualities.
Specializing in the traditional methods and old long-forms of the Wu-family Tai Chi Chuan, Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu and Qi Gong he was granted 9th Dan status by the Chin Wu Traditional Martial Arts Association, China and also “Grandmaster” status, by the International Kenpo Karate Association.
His education in the martial arts started at the age of 6 in Hong Kong with Wu style Tai Chi, followed by Hung Gar (Kung Fu) then Hung Sing Choy Lay Fut (Buddha style, Kung Fu). He was a student of the late Grand-master Lee Koon-Hung, 5th generation Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu and was widely regarded as the foremost authority of Hung Sing Choy Lay Fut outside of China.
With the highest respect for the traditional methods - Sifu Lee passed on his skills and knowledge to his students and senior Instructors and following his passing in late 2022, they now carry-on his teachings in the same way.
Sifu Lee himself held a level 3 coaching award from the Irish Sports Council and the advanced certificate of Sports Tutor from Coaching Ireland.
His senior instructors also hold accredited coaching awards under Sports Ireland.
