“Chen Kefu studied Tibetan White Crane, a style which claims western China and Tibet as its ancestral home. It is distinct from the White Crane schools found in Fujian Province, previously discussed elsewhere in this volume. The antecedents of this western White Crane first appeared in Guangdong Province during the 1860s.”
