Two decades ago, a simple question changed my life: “Do you want to learn Kung Fu?”
It was 2004. I was fresh out of school, working my first IT job at a Canadian bank when Chris Chen – now a Master in the White Lotus System of Unarmed Combat – approached me. We weren’t close friends at the time, just coworkers who’d helped each other out occasionally.
That day, he offered me the same invitation I’m extending to you now.
Right there in the office, Chris showed me my first position: the Horizontal Guarding Position. “Look at this,” he said, “see if you can copy it.” I did my best to replicate the position, and for a first attempt, I did pretty well. Chris made a slight correction, but the foundation was there.
That single moment began my 20+ year journey with the White Lotus System of Unarmed Combat.
The System’s Heritage
Before the White Lotus System, Grand Master Brian K. Leishman operated Energy Lake Kung Fu Studios across Canada from 1980-1995, teaching the five major Kung Fu styles: Dragon, Crane, Tiger, Snake, and Panther. Chris Chen was an Energy Lake Black Belt who continued training with Brian as he developed the complete science-based framework that became the White Lotus System.
I started with about 30 other students training in a farm house in Toronto, studying what would become the most comprehensive unarmed combat system ever developed.
