In my “quest” to find a good Shaolin Kung Fu school in Dallas I was recently introduced to “Lee’s White Leopard Kung Fu School” in Dallas.
The school purports to teach My Jhong Law Horn as a Northern Shaolin style. The style is also referred to as “Lost Track”.
The main teacher is Kwong Ming “Johnny” Lee who also has schools in Louisiana, Florida & Arkansas.
Does anyone here have any info or opinions on My Jhong Law Horn or Johnny Lee? I’ve heard good things about him as a teacher, but have no other frame of reference as far as the style is concerned. I’m wanting to study a Shaolin style long-term for both combat effectiveness & mental/physical enhancement.
You’d be better of posting this in the kungfu forum than the preying mantis forum.
My Jhong Law Horn is a popular spelling of mizong lohan quan (lost track arhat boxing), which is a synthesis of the mizong and lohan schools of boxing. Both are styles that could be described as “northern” “shaolin” and/or “longfist” although these are all clumsy labels that get thrown around too much.
You should be able to find some more information be doing web searches on the above styles.
Try this place. Its in the Dallas area and I have heard good things about it. Authentic Kung Fu. You may find it interesting I dont know. This is where im thinking of taking Kung Fu next year. They offer 7* Mantis and Wing Chun. That may not be what your looking for but who knows.
It is quite a formidable system,…but the best way to check out the kwoon is to just come and see for yourself. We will not be having classes until wednesday. Wed is Wing Chun, Thursday is Mantis. If I remember correctly, next weeks schedule will be the same because of the new year date.
Feel free to come out. Visitors are welcome to watch the 7-8 & 8-9 classes. You could also just stop buy & speak with Sifu Cottrell as well, but you will get a much better view of things watching a couple of classes.
Best wishes in your search,

Ace, I have met Johnny Lee’s Tai Chi students and they have a good understanding of that art. Havn’t met any of his Kung Fu students. I studied
My Jhong Law Horn in Camirillo, CA. for one year.
This style emphasizes a very low stance called the polk stance(spelling may be incorrect). Very good for advances or retreats. It is similiar in kicks to Longfist. Check it out. I feel that what I studied you needed exceptional flexibility and strong knees. If that doesn’t work out try Authentic Kung Fu. I study Seven Star Mantis thier. Excellent school and one of the best Sifu’s I have met. Again check it out and see if this is what you are looking for.
Mizhong Lohan is an aggressive northern longfist system, and most schools tend to be quite good for self defence. If a lifetime of study is what you’re after, then it’s definitely a good choice as the system is HUGE, and as well as a myriad of hand forms it has pretty much every orthodox weapon in it’s syllabus (a say orthodox because I do Choy Li Fut, which has a fair few unorthodox ones ).
As with all longfist systems the forms are expansive and attractive, and the Mizhong aspect provides interesting footwork.

Some good information on Mi Zong alone can be found by checking out the Chin Woo web sites.
I think the style is also called Yang Qing. There is a two book series on the style. has 4 hand forms and 2 partner sets. Lots of chin na. also the Jeet Kuen Set taught by Chin Woo is said to be a Mi Zong set.
I do eagle claw and our history has the combined efforts of Huo Yun Jia and Chan Tzi ching putting together a now famous set called “Hop Jin Kuen”, Harmony war/battle fist. Alot of Chin Na and Anti Chin Na Counters.
I believe a nick scrima who teaches in florida? is a teacher of that Mi Zhong/Law Hon. I think his teacher is from canada.
