Stone stupa on temple
grounds in Korea

History (continued)

The details are recorded in the book of divination called Suk Yang Pi Kup from which the style was handed down through many generations.

Today, Wong Long's original style has developed into many separate and distinct systems. The So Rim Dang Rang Kwan teaches a unique system of Praying Mantis Kung Fu with a strong Korean Influence. It blends traditional Praying Mantis Kung Fu with Shaolin Long Fist to create a unique style. The art was brought to America by Grandmaster Chul Woo Jung, a master of Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do and Hap Ki Do. While a prominent member of the Moo Duk Kwan in Korea, Grandmaster Jung learned Kung Fu from Lin Poon Zhong, a 9th generation master of the Plum Flower Praying Mantis system who immigrated from China to Korea in the 1940's.

Grandmaster Jung retired from the martial arts in 2004 and granted master Kevin Lees Presidency of his association. Under Master Lees' supervision, Sun Bai Nim's Erik Brechun and Marek Chromik maintain instruction in Denver, Colorado & Newport, Rhode Island.
