Choy Gar, also Caijia Quan (Chinese: 蔡家拳, Choy family fist), is a Chinese martial art deriving its name from the Cantonese-born founder, Choy Gau Lee (蔡九儀) (Choy Tsing Hung), and is one of the five main family styles of Kung Fu in Southern China.[1] It was taught to him by a monk named Yi Guan.[2] This style, founded in the 17th century, is a combination of rat and snake styles emphasizing on swift footwork and rapid strikes.[3]
