Fu Jow Pai (Chinese: 虎爪派, Tiger Claw Style), originally named Hark Fu Moon (Chinese: 黑虎門, Black Tiger System) is a Chinese martial art that originated in the Hoy Hong Temple of Guangdong, China, during the Qing dynasty. The system "was modeled after the demeanor and fighting strategy of an attacking tiger. Techniques unique to Fu-Jow Pai are ripping, tearing, clawing and grasping applications."[3][4][1]
Wong Moon Toy mastered Hung Gar under Lam Sai Wing + Wong Bil Hong and Mizongyi under Lau Chook Fung and Doon Yuk Ching before training in Hark Fu Moon with his uncle, Wong Bil Hong.
In 1971, Wai Hong sponsored the first all open style full-contact kung fu tournament in the US and which became the model for future US full-contact tournaments.[citation needed][7] He also founded the Eastern United States Kung-Fu Federation, which he led for eight years.[8] Fu-Jow Pai has appeared in multiple movies, documentaries, and tournaments.[5][9]
