  Coach Melvin, who was introduced to Master Liang, Qiang-Ya by Johnny "Kwong Ming" Lee, is a 4th generation practitioner of WuDang-Style internal martial arts, and a current disciple of Master Liang. Starting as a young teen, Master Liang, the nephew of Chinese general, Sun Paul Kung, was a disciple of Fu Chen Sung. As written in history, Grandmaster Fu was one of the original Five Northern Tigers. He created Fu-style internal martial arts—an effective combat art, combining Baguazhang, Taijiquan, and Hsing-Yi Quan. Liang Qiang-Ya is now one of the last living, 3rd generation disciples of Grandmaster Fu:
