Chan On-Pak, was born in 1839, the first son of Chan Heung, founder of Choy Li Fut Kung Fu .

He looked like and had the gentle nature of a scholar. His specialty was the "Left and Right Thirteen Lance Spear Form." Chan On-Pak's handling and control of the spear was so advanced that he gained the nice nicknameYet Cheung Ng Mui Fa or "Five Plum Blossoms with One Lance."

In 1894, two of Chan On-Pak's students, Cheng Si-Leung and Chan Siu-Bak, helped the revolutionary forces of Dr. Sun Yat Sen fight against the Ching dynasty and lay the foundation of the Republic of China. Chan On-Pak assisted his father Chan Heung to teach the system of Choy Li Fut in their village of King Mui. He helped his father to train and teach his younger brother Chan Koon-Pak. Unfortunately Chan On-Pak died young, most of his students eventually continuing their training under Chan Koon-Pak. Our past master Chan Cheong-Mo was one of them. Another of our past masters Chen Yen was taught by Chan On Pak. After Chan On Pak died, he continuing learned from his father Chan Kau, student of Choy Li Fut Founder Chan Heung. Today, The Plum Blossom Federation lineage is the only one that has Chan On-Pak's teaching.
