Tith Ngaw Pai Kung Fu

Tith Ngaw Pai is a Chinese martial art school, specialised in and promoting the Hakka martial art of its founder Lee Tith Ngaw. He created this style around 220 years ago in the North East Guandong Province of South China. During a trading trip in the Kong Sai province (Jiangxi),Lee family members met a Siu Lam (Shaolin) monk who taught them some combat skills. They all returned to the village.You

ng Lee Tith Ngaw first learned from the family members before apprenticing with the monk. Later Lee Tith Ngaw revised what he had learned over the years. With his own input he created his own specific style: a no-nonsense fighting art with explosive movements. Lee Tith Ngaw taught Chung A Yan, who taught his son Chung Tjong Wah. Chung Tjong Wah taught Chung Kang Yau. Finally Chung Kang Yau taught Kong Han Lei/ Galland R., he became the official heir and first westerner who learned this particular style. He also learned the Lee Gar Gao style from Cheng Wai Chung Sifu in Hong Kong, and was permitted to promote this system in Europe.Both Tith Ngaw Pai and Lee Gar Gao originate with Lee Tith Ngaw and belong to the same martial art heritage.Kong Han Lei started his kung fu career in the Chinatown of Antwerp in 1971, and is one of the first Belgians to learn a Chinese martial art in Flanders. At the age of 68 in 2022, he can look back on 51 years of experience. Kong Sifu still teaches in the Tith Ngaw Pai kung fu school in Antwerp (Mortsel),Belgium.
