Feng Shou (風手) is a 20th century Martial Arts style as taught by Chee Soo, a Barnardo's orphan and soldier originally named Clifford Soo, who grew up in London. According to Chee Soo, Feng Shou originated in the 1930s when Chan Kam Lee, an importer and exporter of precious stones, taught a class in Red Lion Square in Holborn, though there are no verified records of the existence of Lee, or the martial arts class. According to Chee Soo, Chan Kam Lee met Chee Soo and taught him the style regularly from 1934, though by 1937, Chee Soo was recorded as enlisted full-time in the British Army. It is an internal or soft style, though the style has not been historically practiced in China, and may originate from a mix of Japanese styles that Soo learned in London after the end of World War 2, accord
