Does anyone know about Bak Mei?
Some say he was not a Shaolin monk but a Taoist priest. Some say he was a shaolin monk. Either way, he was infamous for betraying the Shaolin temple and killed many monks.





The Bak Mei style is a very deadly kung fu style. Because of that, I doubt if just anyone is going to be taught it. A responsible teacher must carefully screen his prospective students if they are to be taught Bak Mei kung fu.
Reply:Yep, screened students, I know my Grand Master doesnt allow negative or bully like people to stay long. Report It

Reply:History of Bak Mei should be closely investigated, not to follow old myths or legends that are mere stories. Bak Mei creed stipulates strong discretion toward selection of students. Report It
