Sigung Lai has studied Martial Arts since 1959 and in particular Shaolin Kung Fu with Daisigung Quek  Heng  Choon  from  1967.  In  the following years, training was intense in the traditional manner – every day, often twice per day.  Sigung Lai also trained with Master Leow Cheng Koon, who was the chief instructor of the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF).  Sigung Lai found there was much to be gained by using modern Taekwondo training and teaching techniques in teaching and unlocking the traditions of Chinese Martial Arts.  Helping to form the Malaysian Taekwondo Association (MTA) in 1974; Sigung was its first Secretary-General from 1974 until 1979.  In 1977, Sigung Lai emigrated to the United Kingdom (UK), where he had undertaken his legal education.  Since Martial Arts were part of his life, he naturally felt the need to bring his school with him.  Prior to his departure, Sigung Lai asked his teacher to clarify the name of the style he had been taught.  Daisigung Quek gave his permission for Sigung Lai to teach and stated that the style of Kung Fu he taught was "Shaolin Nam-Pai-Chuan".

The first ever Martial Arts of this form in Europe was taught in Swiss Cottage, London.  The system became a member of the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts (BCCMA), the national governing body for Chinese Martial Arts in the UK.  The system has grown and progressed smoothly with classes in many cities in the UK and abroad.  Today, the system has finally become of age and is being taught in the sincere and dedicated manner as seen by Sigung Lai and his predecessors.
 
During a training visit to London in 2009, Daisigung Quek named Sigung Christopher Lai Khee Choong as his successor and asked that the school be renamed as “Shaolin Gao Can Mun Nam-Pai-Chuan”.
