Huang, 68, is officially recognized as an inheritor of Cai Li Fo boxing, a style of martial arts. He is also head of Hongsheng Hall, a kung fu club established in 1851 in Foshan, a city in Guangdong province known for its martial arts culture.
Cai Li Fo was created by Chen Xiang. Legend has it that Chen, a native of Guangdong, created the style by combining Cai and Li styles with a form of boxing named for the Buddha, or Fo in Chinese.
