It could be argued that Lee Ying Arng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytQBOT_8Pq0 was the first to introduce aspects of Gu Ru Zhang's North Shaolin by way of his Iron Palm teachings.
The wide spread of it through books, instruction, distance learning etc would have to go to Kwong Wing Lam though.

Kung Fu is good for you.
I don't know if he was the first, but Wong Jack Man would certainly have been *one of* the earliest. He was already here by 1964 and maybe earlier. I think he was already teaching in '64. And from what I've heard, his style was seen as something different in San Francisco's Chinatown at that time.
OTOH, I heard that Wing Lam started teaching in the U.S. in 1967.
Wing Lam is a student of Wong Jack Man who is certainly the pioneer of BSL in North America.
