Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit
Sifu Wong Kiew Kit is the fourth generation
successor from the famous Shaolin Monastery of China, and a grandmaster of
Shaolin Kungfu and Chi Kung. He received the Qigong Master of the
Year
award at the Second World Congress on Qigong held in San Francisco
in November 1997. He also holds an honours degree in humanity, and is one
of the very few masters who speak excellent English. His books,
Introduction to Shaolin Kungfu (1981), The Art of chi kung (1993), The Art
of Shaolin Kungfu (1996) and The Complete Book of Tai Chi Chuan (1996)
— among others — have been highly acclaimed internationally.
Sifu Wong, born in 1944, started his life-long training of the Shaolin arts in 1954. He has taught kungfu and chi kung for more than twenty five years, to more than twenty organizations. Since 1987 Sifu Wong has spent more time teaching chi kung than kungfu, because he says that chi kung serves an urgent public need, particularly in overcoming degenerative and psychiatric illness. In 1988 he caused a huge public controversy when he made an incredible announcement, that it is possible to transmit chi (energy) over great distance to cure patients! In a public experiment conducted by an independent national newspaper in early 1989, he proved that distant chi transmission is possible.
Sifu Wong is one of the few masters, who have generously introduced the once
secretive Shaolin Chi Kung to the public, and has helped literally hundreds
of people to be relieved of their so-called incurable
diseases like
hypertension, asthma, rheumatism, arthritis, diabetics, migraine,
gastritis, gall stones, kidney failure, depression, anxiety and even
cancer. Now he has devoted more time on writing and teaching overseas,
having successfully taught in Europe, the United States, Canada and
Australia. He stresses the Shaolin philosophy of sharing goodness with all
humanity, and is now dedicated to spreading the wonders and benefits of the
Shaolin arts to more people irrespective of race, culture and religion.
