With his new post secured Jow Lung sent for his brothers to help him train the General’s troops and refine this new system of combat. Sometime later Jow Lung came down with a cold which quickly turned into pneumonia. Soon after, in 1919, Jow Lung passed away at the age of 29. The system which he had just created needed someone to lead it or it would be lost to the world for all time. So, it was decided that Jow Biu would be the one to lead and spearhead the growth of the style that would soon bear the family name.

Jow Biu (1899-1961)

After his brother’s death, Jow Biu wasted no time in spreading and promoting what would be known as Jow Ga kung fu. (The true name of the style was called Hung Tao Choy Mei which means the Head of Hung and the Tail of Choy.) Because of his tireless work, Jow Biu along with his brothers had managed to open nearly 14 schools throughout China before the outbreak of World War II, all teaching the art of the Jow Ga 5 Tigers. (There are now over 80 schools world wide promoting the Jow Ga system.)
