The Founder of “Free-Style
Martial-Arts And Self-Defence”(FMS) is Master Tan Ghee
Lip.
Master
Tan has trained in various martial arts for more than
35 years. He was born on 1st September 1959 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
As a child, Master Tan was very weak and fragile. He constantly
suffered from
asthma and other related sicknesses.
In 1972, at the age of twelve
and a half, Master Tan took up
Chinese Kung Fu and Chi Gong from a master who conducted classes near
his
house. It was Master Tan’s first
involvement in martial arts and it was to fulfil his interest in
martial arts
as well as a hope to heal his asthma through Chi Gong.
He trained under the master for three years.
After a year learning Kung Fu
and Chi Gong, Master Tan
discovered his health had improved tremendously but he found that the
art he
was learning consisted mainly of deadly strikes with almost 90% hand
techniques. Hence, he decided to take up another martial art that
focused on
leg or kicking techniques. He chose
Taekwon-Do.
Master Tan started his
Taekwon-Do training in 1974 . He stopped
training in Kung Fu and Chi Gong
after a year of Taekwon-Do when the master retired due to old age. His master passed away two years later. It was one of the saddest days in Master
Tan’s life when he bade farewell to his first master in 1977.
When the Kung Fu class
stopped, Master Tan joined the
national gymnastic class. He wanted to
improve his flexibility i.e. in jumping, springing and falling through
gymnastics. Not one to be complacent,
Master Tan further enhanced his skills and knowledge by exploring the
throwing
technique. He gathered a few friends
from Judo to teach him the techniques for two years.
Training with friends on the throwing and
grabbing skills from Judo didn’t stop Master Tan from searching for new
martial
art knowledge and skills. He later joined Aikido when his Judo friends
left for
further studies abroad. With his martial
art background, Master Tan saved a lot of time learning the basics in
Aikido. The instructor and the seniors
taught Master Tan many useful and practical lock techniques in exchange
for his
other martial arts skills. At that time Master Tan was already a 2nd
degree black-belt holder in Taekwon-Do. In
the same year, he was learning Karate at one of
his Karate friends’ dojo.
In
the early 80s, Master Tan became inspired by the powerful
punches from Boxing. He was also
impressed with the self-defence techniques from Hapkido.
In 1982, Master Tan was introduced to a
renowned Taekwon-Do instructor in Malaysia whom he had always
heard
of, Master Andy Yuen. Master Andy Yuen
was one of the most pioneer instructors who trained under Korean
instructors in Malaysia.
He was also an ex-boxer and the first Hapkido instructor cum
representative in Malaysia. He was the only one who could provide the
skills that Master Tan needed. Since
then, Master Tan began to study with Master Andy Yuen for more of the
higher
skills in self-defence and techniques in boxing. The
training lasted till 1984 when Master Tan
had to go to Europe with his employer, the Kuwait Ambassador to Malaysia.
Master Tan was then the personal bodyguard to the Kuwait Ambassador.
Half a year later, Master Tan
resigned as the security
in-charge for the Kuwait Ambassador to Belgium.
He began to settle down in Germany in 1985 and started
to
promote Taekwon-Do, the art that he never stopped practising. During his stay in Europe
in the last 16 years, Master Tan continued to observe the good
techniques from
other martial arts. He would comprise the good techniques from various
martial
arts he had observed or learnt. He was
invited to perform several demonstrations in Taekwon-Do by various
local
martial art schools and also to conduct seminars and classes.
In the year 2000, Master
Tan moved back to Malaysia. Upon his return, he decided to develop a form
of martial art that is simple, easy-to-learn and suitable for everyone
of all
age. He compiled all his martial arts knowledge and the improvement of
techniques with the additional of scientific principles to form “Free-Style Martial-Arts And
Self-Defence”(FMS) and to make Malaysia the home ground
and the
world HQ for the Art. |
