Dog Kung Fu - Chen Yi-Jiu

Chen Yi-Jiu

During the early years of the Republic of China, Chen Ayin, a descendant of Chen Biao, fled to Singapore to escape imprisonment for accidental manslaughter when defending a friend against a village troublemaker. He was taken in by a one of the Chinese immigrants, Chen Yijiu. Being ever grateful, he taught Chen Yijiu his art without reservation.

Chen Yijiu, already having learnt martial arts such as Muay Thai, Dragon Kung Fu, and Zui Quan, spent several years refining the techniques in Dishuquan and building himself a reputation in Southeast Asia as the "Iron Leg". He left Singapore in 1932 and moved to Fuzhou, where he resided until his death. There, he spent the rest of his years teaching Dishuquan, spreading the art around and through Fuzhou.
