Le Pak Mei
Pak Mei (White Eyebrows) is a formidable Kung Fu style renowned for its explosive power, direct combat approach, and ruthless efficiency. It is the first martial art within the Shaolin system to advocate the “shortest path”—a strategy that eliminates unnecessary movement to strike with precision, speed, and overwhelming force.
This style seamlessly integrates the five forms of combat found in Shaolin while prioritizing the power of the Tiger—breaking an opponent’s bridge with sheer strength—and the precision of the Leopard, striking vital points with the legendary Phoenix’s Eye fist. Every movement in Pak Mei is designed for combat dominance, employing a combination of:
- Sharp, rapid, and explosive strikes
- Unpredictable and oppressive attacks
- Strategic animal-based stances such as the Leopard Head, Bear’s Back, and Rooster’s Claw, which enhance agility and control.

An Hybrid Legacy
Shaolin Meets Taoist Principles
What sets Pak Mei apart is its fusion of Taoist techniques with Shaolin combat principles, creating a style that is both unpredictable and devastating. This hybrid system, unlike anything seen in its time, challenged the traditional martial arts world and forced a radical shift in close-combat strategy.
Such was its impact that Pak Mei was considered a disruptive force within Shaolin, leading to the eventual development of Wing Chun, a style built in response to Pak Mei’s revolutionary methods.
“When there isn’t a bridge, we create the bridge and we cross it.”

The Origins of Pak Mei
The story of Grandmaster Pak Mei remains one of the most debated in Kung Fu history. He continued to refine and pass down his martial arts system in secrecy, making it one of the most guarded and highly effective fighting styles in history.
For over three hundred years, Pak Mei practitioners have preserved this rare system, passing down its lethal efficiency, profound philosophy, and unique blend of internal and external power.
