At age seven, Chan Heung's uncle Chan Yuen-Wu (Chinese: 陳遠護), a boxer from the Qingyun temple near Dinghu Mountain[2] started teaching him Fut Gar, literally "Buddha Family," which specializes in palm techniques. Chan Yuen Woo had received his training from Du Zhang Monk. When Chan Heung was fifteen, Chan Yuen-Wu took him to Li Yau-San (Chinese: 李友山), Chan Yuen-Wu's senior classmate.
