It deeply saddens us to inform our friends and family of CKFA that Grandmaster Henry Poo Yee passed away peacefully this morning. His legacy can be found in the thousands of lives he has impacted and the Kung Fu he shared with his students. We will forever remember his teaching and strive to train and carry on the tradition and lineage in his honor.

Rest now...

I'm glad to have had the chance to meet him at Tai Chi Legacy.
