Wu Tai Shan () in Shanxi province and on Mt. Longhu () in Jiangxi () province. The monk Som Dot (), created this new martial art system in the late 18th to early 19th century. He passed the art on to Lee Kun Ching (), later known as Lee Siem See (); a name that can be translated as "Zen master Lee"). Lee Siem See would travel to Southern China and spread the art amongst the general population. In Guangdong, his student, Cheung Yiu Chung (), would later return with him to Kwong Sai (Jiangxi) Province to complete his training at Jook Lum Gee. In 1919, Cheung returned to reside in , Huiyang in Guangdong Province. During the winter of 1929, Cheung opened his first martial arts school and a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Pingshan Town, Bao'an County, and continued to promote the Jook Lum system. Wong Yook-Kong (), Lum Wing-Fay (林榮輝; 1910–1992; also known as Lum Sang or "Mr. Lum", 林生) and Lee Wing Sing () are some of his students from that period. Lee Wing Sing () originally trained in Chu Gar before becoming a student of Cheung Yiu Chung. He then continued his training at the Jook Lum Gee, learning a variant of Bamboo Forest Temple Praying Mantis that was somewhat different from (although related to) the art he learned under Cheung Yiu Chung. The lineage of Lee Wing Sing is continued by his family and disciples in the United Kingdom and the United States. Cheung eventually moved to Hong Kong. He opened a martial arts studio and became the head teacher to the Hong Kong Hakka ship and dock workers union. The classes in Hong Kong was taught by Wong Yook-Kong and this school still exists today. Wong Yook-Kong was described as a large man and in training he placed great emphasis on strength and physical conditioning before moving onto the more internal aspects of the style. One of his favorite training method was to practise with 30 to 60 LB iron rings on his wrist while he perform his forms. As a result, his students also emphasize those aspects in their training. The lineage of Wong Yook Kong is continued by his two sons: Wong Yiu Hung () and Wong Yiu Hwa () and other students such as Lee Kwok Leung, () and Sifu John Koo of Portland, Oregon, a Disciple of both Wong
