Visiting Martial Arts Masters Arrive in Probolinggo, Indonesia
to honor Grand Masters of Rare Lineage

Fredericksburg , Virginia , U.S.A. and Indonesia , March 23, 2010.

After five years in the U.S.  Master Kenneth Lin Xiang Fuk is returning to Indonesia on March 18, 2010, for three weeks of celebration, networking, and intensive training.  “We’ll be sweating...and smiling!” he says delightedly.

Accompanying him, are Martial Artists from around the world who study this rare System. “Phenomenal Energy control and manipulation; strikes which require no distance!  Hek Ki Boen Eng Chun Kun is a Martial Arts System which preserves the original wisdom of Shaolin,” says Master Benny Meng, PhD, researcher, author, and curator of the Ving Tsun Museum , the oldest Martial Arts Museum in the United States.

“The knowledge was nurtured and preserved within the Chinese Secret Society in China, since 1909 found new home in Indonesia and then brought out to the public in 1970, when the political climate no longer required secrecy,” explains Dr. Meng.  Hek Ki Boen Eng Chun is Fukienese dialect for Black Flag Wing Chun. “Can you imagine responding to an attack by ending it in one move – with no distance! This is something that most people have only heard about. Yet HKB contains effective training methods which certainly bring forth this ability. Master Lin is the only one currently teaching it in the U.S.”

Grandmaster Tio still teaches closed-door disciples and lives in Probolinggo of East Java but has given the solemn responsibility to his successor Master Kenneth Lin, to be the primary vehicle for making Eng Chun available to international practitioners. “I have tremendous gratitude for the depth this precious Art has brought to my life,” says Suhu(Master) Lin. “Sukong (Grand Master) Tio – as well as Sujo (Great-Grand Master) King Yang, and KongCo (GGGM) Tjia Fun Jiao -- dedicated their lives to preserving this knowledge for future generations. The best way for me to honor the Treasure they have given me, is to ensure that the System survives intact by passing it on to new students – sincere practitioners -- of every nationality.”

Suhu (Master) Lin is uniquely positioned to make this ancient knowledge available to the world. He is multilingual, and he studied Eng Chun in Indonesia since the age of ten. “My teachers were father figures to me,” he says, “they nurtured my teaching ability, provided leadership and helped me to develop my own vision.”  Master Lin currently owns and operates the Shaolin Kungfu Center in Fredericksburg , Virginia , U.S.A. He is in the process of certifying teachers and training centers in many U.S. locations, as well as in Germany , U.K. , Amsterdam , Brazil , Canada and Italy . “My vision? For Chinese Kung Fu to be known and available to anyone who wants to practice it to improve their whole selves, their whole lives!”

Students accompanying their Suhu (Sifu) (Master) Master Lin on this trip, intend to present a gift to Grand Master Tio, to express their gratitude for the precious teaching they have received, as it has been passed down to them. The plaque will be a symbol of the deep joy and thankfulness they feel, they said, for how Grand Master Tio helped to develop the personal qualities and high level of kungfu in Master Lin, which make him such an outstanding teacher and father figure in this Martial Arts Family. Under his leadership, HKB is gaining students at a tremendous rate.

Says Master Benny Meng, Curator of the Ving Tsun Museum , “The conclusion of the Ving Tsun Museum , after extensive research, is that Hek Ki Boen Eng Chun is an Original Shaolin System. It carries certain markers – elements which identify it as stemming from Shaolin. It is a Complete System, meaning that it addresses the physical, mental and spiritual components of who we are as human beings, with unified principles developing each.”
