Grandmaster Ie Chang Ming

Ie Chang Ming was born in Fukien province in 1880. Ie was so impressed with Grandmaster Su's skill that he joined the old Master in the mountains to study. Eventually, Ie became the Grandmaster and carried on the Chang Men Ren mission of preserving and spreading the Shaolin Fighting Arts.

After the fall of the Manchu Dynasty, Chinese warlords struggled for power. One of Grandmaster Ie's encounters with a warlord's enforcers left a mountain of dead soldiers. With a price on his head, Grandmaster Ie fled China and settled in Bandung, Indonesia, where he eventually opened a school for Martial Arts.

Grandmaster Ie died in 1976. Many of his students are still alive today. The art that Grandmaster Ie learned and taught has been preserved and many students from many different schools around the world train our great Martial Art system today!
