He was born in 1948 in the Guangdong (广东) province of China; the Wangshan village of Wushan - Doumen district of Zhuhai City. In April 1960, he immigrated to San Francisco, California with his mother to be reunited with his father. He arrived as a third-generation citizen of the United States of America since both his grandfather and father were already citizens. He sought out his first kung fu teacher - Lau Bun (劉彬), the founder of the first Hung Sing Kwoon of Choy Li Fut in America, after encountering taunting and bullying due to language and ethnic difficulties after his arrival. When Lau Bun died in 1967, he started teaching and opened his first school when he was 19 years old. In 1976, he continued his Choy Li Fut training under Hu Yuen Chou (胡雲綽) and Wong Gong (黄江). When Hu Yuen Chou died in 1997, he continued working with Wong Gong, the current "keeper" of Jiangmen branch of Hung Sing Choy Li Fut, to promote Choy Li Fut world-wide. Wong Doc-Fai also had extensive training in Yang-style Taijiquan (楊氏) (Yang-style t'ai chi ch'uan) under the tutelage of Hu Yuen Chou, who studied under Yang Chengfu (楊澄甫) (1883–1936) - the grandson of Yang Luchan (楊露禪), the founder of the Yang-style t'ai chi ch'uan. Wong Doc-Fai is also a disciple and adopted son of Professor Peng-Si Yu (1902–1983) and Min Ou-Yang, both considered to be among China's greatest Qigong (气功) and Yiquan (意拳) teachers. He also has expertise in the practice of Feng Shui (风水). In 1986, he founded the Plum Blossom International Federation. As of 2016, the Federation has continued to grow and is now represented in nine countries on six continents by over 300 schools in 40 countries with over 20,000 members. Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong continues to provide instruction traveling throughout the world conducting seminars. As of 2015, Wong Doc-Fai has been training in Choy Li Fut Kung Fu for 56 years and teaching martial arts for 47 years. Currently he is considered to be one of the highest ranking Choy Li Fut masters in the world and was just awarded "Grandmaster of the Year" by the FIOGA, Federation International of Grandmasters Association, based in China.
