PREFACE

I was first introduced to the rare art of phoenix-eye fist kung-fu in 1986 through a book co-written by the art’s headmaster, Cheong Cheng Leong, and the late hoplologist, Donn F. Draeger. At the time, I was working for Asian World of Martial Arts, one of the largest suppliers and stores of martial arts books and equipment in the world. One evening after work, my co-worker Carlos Aldrete-Phan and I were relaxing in his apartment talking about all the different kinds of martial arts there were in the world. Being well-read and having practiced a number of different systems, I was rattling off a shopping list of names and countries of origin. Carlos stopped me midstream and asked if I had ever heard of the art of Chuka Shaolin. I replied that I hadn’t. Carlos then asked if I had ever heard of a writer named Donn Draeger. I replied that of course I had, as he was quite famous. Carlos then pulled a book off his shelf titled Phoenix-Eye Fist: A Shaolin Fighting Art of South China, by Cheong Cheng Leong and Donn F. Draeger. He handed it to me.
