Lam Sai Wing was born in 1860 and lived until 1943. He was widely
considered one of the best boxers of his time, and he was certainly one
of the most famous. Lam Sai Wing inherited the Hung Gar style from his
sifu, Wong Fei Hung, and passed it on to his nephew, current grandmaster
Lam Cho.
Lam Sai Wing retired from teaching kung fu at the age of 65 (1925). He
left grandmaster Lam Cho and some other students in charge of his schools
to continue teaching the art of hung gar to the general public. Some
well-known students of Lam Sai Wing include Kwan Kun, Tam Chou, Tang Yee,
Tang Fong, Wu Lap Fung, Wong Man Kai, and Lau Cham.
