Sifu Wong Kiew Kit is the fourth generation successor from the famous Shaolin Monastery of China, and a grandmaster of Shaolin Kung Fu and Qigong.

At the Second World Congress of Qigong held in San Francisco from 21st-23rd November,1997, he received the "Qigong Master of the Year" Award.

The Selection Committee announced that the award was given in recognition of Sifu Wong's outstanding contribution in:

• revealing the depth of Qigong (Qigong)
• the world-wide influence of his teaching
• helping many people to be relieved of their cancer and chronic, degenerative diseases.

Sifu Wong, born in 1944, started his life-long training of the Shaolin arts in 1954 when he learned Shaolin Kung Fu and lion dance from the famous Shaolin master, Sifu Lai Chin Wah, who was popularly known as Uncle Righteousness.

To further his Kung Fu training, Sifu Wong later learnt from Sifu Ho Fatt Nam, the third generation successor directly descended from the southern Shaolin Monastery when it was burned by the Manchurian army in China. Sifu Wong also learned Wuzu Kung Fu from Sifu Chee Kim Thong, and Wing Choon Kung Fu from Sifu Choe Hoong Choy, who were patriarchs of their respective Kung Fu styles.

Sifu Wong has taught Kung Fu and Qigong for more than twenty five years, to more than twenty organizations. In 1982 he founded the Shaolin Wahnam School of Kung Fu and Qigong, naming the school after his two teachers who had influenced him most, Sifu Lai Chin Wah and Sifu Ho Fatt Nam, with the aim of transmitting genuine Shaolin Kung Fu, Shaolin Qigong and Shaolin philosophy.

Having won championships himself, Sifu Wong has trained many champions in Kung Fu (demonstrations as well as all styles sparring) and lion dance competitions. But he has always insisted that while Shaolin Kung Fu is an exceedingly effective martial art, its greatness lies in enriching our daily life and in spiritual development.

In 1988 Sifu Wong 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. Later that year, he publicly demonstrated sending chi up to the sky to disperse clouds!

Sifu Wong is one of the few masters who have generously introduced the once secretive Shaolin Qigong 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 Chi Kung.
