Founded in the 15th century by Lama Ah Tah Toh in the monasteries of Tibet under the name of the system “the Lion's Roar”; spread by Sing Lung in Canton and inherited by Chu Chi Iu, Wong Lam-Hoi and Ng Siu Chung — who gave the art its name, Pak Hok Pai —; passed on by Sifu Tang Chak Ming, Sifu Chan Tat Fu and Sifu Cheung Kwok Wah, who taught it to Sifu Argimiro Núñez (Arun).
