Cho-Si Seh Koh San represented the 2nd chamber 48th generation of Shaolin.  He is the Ancestral Master of the Gao Can Mun Nam-Pai-Chuan system, which largely owes its origins to his teachings.

Cho-Si was a legendary figure in Martial Arts of the Far East.  For ten years until 1919 Cho-Si trained in Shaolin Martial Arts as the only inner-circle   disciple   under   Reverend   Hui Cheng  on the Chek Chian Nan Hai  Pooi  Chee  Temple  in  China.   Along  side  the Martial Arts and Buddhism, Cho-Si was also taught traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and by the end of his life had developed excellent medical skills.  He personally aimed to eliminate disease for everybody in the world and relieve all people in need.  In 1926, Cho-Si Seh Koh San left China to travel Southeast Asia, visiting Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.  In every place he visited, he treated the sick and spread Buddhism.  He stayed in Indonesia for 21 years and became the Abbot of the Cheng Yuen Kong Temple in Medan, where he was responsible for the construction of nine Buddhist Temples.  It wasn’t until later in his life in Indonesia that Cho-Si started teaching the Martial Arts.

  

In 1948, Cho-Si Seh Koh San travelled to Singapore to the Siong Lim See Temple, where in 1954 he was promoted to the position of Abbot.  Here, Cho-Si continued to teach Martial Arts, which was known as "Shaolin Kun" or "Shaolin Martial Arts".  It was also commonly referred to in the Far East as "Fatt Kah Chuen" or "Buddhist Fist".  Cho-Si continued to teach until his death in 1960 at the age of 74.  The school of Cho-Si Seh Koh San – the Singapore Sao Hua San Athletic Association – set-up for him by his students still flourishes today.  One of these students was Daisigung Quek Heng Choon.
