First
Chief Instructor Founder
 Founder Sek Koh
Sum was bom in China on the 1886 December,
27th. Originally named Lim Ah Hong
(Nickname 'Flying Leopard'), after being a monk he
changed his name to Sek Koh Sum. His Master is from
China Southern Shaolin 48th Generation named Master
Hui Jin. He had achieved the original Southern
Shaolin Art from his master, which included Qikong and healing
skill.
He was then asked to be the chief monk in one of the
Indonesia Temple in Medan, in
which he wrote to his master to ask permission of teaching Southern
Shaolin Art. His permission was granted and so that is the start of
Southern Shaolin art in South East Asia.
At that point of
time, gangsters and bad guys are disturbing Singapore Shaolin
Temple; they destroyed the temple and capture peoples that comes to
the temple for praying. Sek Koh Sum was asked to be the Chief Monk
of Singapore Shaolin Temple and prevent those happenings.
At
the start, it was tough, as Sek Koh Sum did not
sleep in the night to guard the temple. He was fighting with
more than 30 people at the same time with only bare hand.
The peoples were all shocked and fled away. Since then his name had
been very well known and so he started to teach the entire monk self
defense skill. No more happening again in Singapore Shaolin Temple
again, all thanks to Sek Koh Sum.
