Grandmaster Huo YuanJia (1869 – 1910) was the founder of Jing Wu Athletic Association. His father, Huo EnDi, was a well-known martial artist who served as a bodyguard for caravans traveling to the Northeast. During his childhood, he suffered from yellow jaundice so his father refused to teach him. Young Huo YuanJia was therefore forced to hide behind bushes, watching his father teach and he practiced on his own for the next ten years.
In 1890, a martial artist by the named Duo came to visit the Huo family. Hou Yuanjia's elder brother, was goaded into a fight and was beaten, but to the family's surprise Yuanjia himself got up and defeated his brother's opponent. His father then officially accepted him and taught his younger son all that he knew of the secret family style, Mizongquan, the Lost Track From, the Hidden Hand, the Invisible Fist, now become a mysterious and lost martial art.
Huo Yuanjia had no successor, and the "Chinese Kung Fu" that once made foreigners fearful now fell into an embarrassing situation with no successor to carry on the tradition.
Hou Yuanjia's name started to spread and he soon began defeating neighboring practitioners in local contests. These bouts made Huo Yuanjia famous in his village and the neighboring areas.
Master Huo became a national hero and his name is still revered and honored as a great martial artist fighter. Huo's life has been adapted into films like Fearless, starring Jet Li, books, songs and television series. Huo is typically depicted as a heroic martial artist who fights to uphold the dignity and honor of the Chinese people in the face of foreign aggression.
His fist is legend!
