He was a monk at Jook Lum Gee (Bamboo Forest Temple) in the shadows of Lung Fu San (Dragon Tiger Mountain) in China\u2019s Kwong Sai Province.\u00a0<\/span>Som Dart spent much of his life perfecting the system and later taught it to a fellow monk, Lee Siem. Due to Lee Siem\u2019s exceptional intelligence and physical prowess, he was able to master the system\u2019s intricacies under the skillful guidance of Som Dart.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
