He is one of the only major advocates for preserving and promoting this cultural art which, despite being frequently overshadowed today by popular fads, is a timeless and ever-evolving art that goes far beyond a punch and kick.

These qualities, combined with an ability to speak and write clearly and eloquently, make Master Koh a unique phenomenon in the martial arts world. 

                  In addition to studying, researching and teaching the Chinese martial arts for nearly four decades, Master Koh is an accomplished author, having written several previous texts on the art of Kung Fu, as well as having published many articles in various martial art magazines throughout the years. He currently serves as martial arts consultant on a mystery novel series published by Soho Press and written by John Shen Yen Nee (former executive at DC Comics and Marvel Comics) and SJ Rozan (author of 18 novels, Edgar Award winner). The first novel, The Murder of Mr. Ma, was released in early 2024, and Master Koh’s work was hailed by reviewers for his “incredibly orchestrated fight scenes” and “absolutely fabulous displays of martial arts.”

                  In 2018, Master Koh launched Kung Fu In A Minute, a unique approach to documenting, promoting and preserving the traditional skills, attitudes, traditions and practice of the art of Kung Fu. Through Kung Fu In A Minute, he has published 14 titles with more forthcoming. The Kung Fu in a Minute library of videos, articles and manuals will further promote, preserve and protect this ancient art form. "
