Due
to change or war, much of the knowledge escaped
the Temples with departing Monks and then passed
on to other Martial Artist families outside the
Monasteries. Over time, the Martial Art and the
Healing Art forms would be adopted and developed
by these families, then given title by having
the surname of the family within the name of the
martial system and medicine.
This
particular form of medicine and martial art is
from the Chow family, or Chow Gar (Gar meaning
family in Cantonese). Other styles like Hung Gar
and Jow Gar Kung Fu also have their own healing
arts.
