Sigung (Grand Master) Stan Lee launched his illustrious martial arts career in China where he began his training in the discipline of Hung Gar Kung Fu. He moved to Hong Kong where he became the student of Wong Bo Tong, Lam Fay Hung, and Lau Jaam. He studied various styles and philosophies including but not limited to Chin Woo, Seven Star Praying Mantis, Eagle Claw, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, and Northern Long Fist. After relocating to Edmonton, Sigung Stan Lee began passing on his knowledge to a few select students. At that point, he came to the realization that there existed a need for a Kung Fu studio in the Edmonton area. His aspirations for a place to train came to fruition in approximately 1969 when he was finally in a position to open the Canadian Ging Wu Kung-Fu Club.
