After the disappearance of the Jag Yu Wei, seemed that the
inheritance of the old school had been drained.
Fortunately, years before their death, the masters Lei Bu
first, and Lei Tchoy later, they bequeathed their
knowledge to a descendant of Chinese, Faro González
Argudín.
The Master Lei Tchoy it also accepted some non Chinese
students, among those were the current Professor Aníbal
Rodríguez Reyes who was instructed in the style Choy Ka
Kiin. In the beginnings of the nineties, this one
requested authorization from the Master to open a small
school of Choy Ka in the city of Matanzas, capital of the
province of the same name located at 100Km of Havana,
which lasted for hardly a year because Professor Aníbal
decided to unite to the Academy Nam Pai Kung Fú of the
Master Wong Yi Man as instructor of the style Fat Ka Kiin,
for what was stopped the succession of the Choy of Jag Yu
Wei.
Meanwhile, an old student that had been able to
appropriate during the year of existence of the Matanzas
school of some knowledge of the Choy style, and that had
also been integrated to the “Nam Pai", Yhanco Monet
Rodríguez, began to instruct Carlos Abel Olivera Rodríguez
in the styles Choy Lei Fat and Hung Ka Kiin, until later
guided him in his first steps for the Choy Ka Kiin.
After having culminated his studies of Choy Ka with the
professor Yhanco Monet, in the year 1999, and anxious to
increase his knowledge, Carlos A. Olivera is presented
before the professor Aníbal Rodríguez who accepted him as
student in its school of Fat Ka. With the time, the
professor Aníbal began to instruct him in the style Choy
Ka Kiin of the Master Lei Tchoy, specifically in the use
of the cane of Siu Lam and the butterfly knives.
In the year 2001, the Professor Aníbal Rodríguez
recommends Carlos A. Olivera to visit in the Havana
Chinatown his bigger brother Faro González who was the
Master Lei Tchoy's closer pupil in his last 20 years of
life. The Professor Faro González instructed Carlos A.
Olivera in the techniques of Doi Kung (internal energy),
the philosophy of life and combat of the most traditional
Choy Ka Kiin, and also, it put it in contact with the
history of the Jag Yu Wei.
During the second half of the 2000, in the search for
other practitioners of the Choy style, Carlos A. Olivera
finds by the Internet the Sifu (Master) Adolfo Tijero,
Peruvian resided in Sweden, master in the style Choy Ka
Kiin of the region of Chung Shan, which accepted him as
pupil. An exchange that brought 20 young practitioners of
the style Choy to Matanzas began this way and thanks to
which both schools, in Stockholm and Matanzas, maintain a
fruitful and intense exchange with the intention to
conserve and to expand the Choy Ka style.
Nowadays the style is only known in Cuba by three people:
Faro González Argudín, Aníbal Rodríguez Reyes and Carlos
Abel Olivera Rodríguez, and it is only practiced at the
Lei Tchoy Choy Ka Kung Fú school, in charge of this last
one, named this way in honor to the Master Lei Tchoy.
