西藏白鶴派 

白鹤拳之源流，傳說是始於明代的天启年間，西藏喇嘛僧人阿達陀於深山之中目睹白鶴黑猿相搏，阿達陀從中有所領悟，遂仿鶴摹法，名[獅子吼] ，後改为[白鹤宗].及至明末期间，白鶴宗再經過喇嘛僧人多羅吉坦融汇贯通，創下正反拾套手，遂成[白 鶴拳].    白鶴拳傳至廣東是於清代咸豐同治年間，升隆長老跟四大弟子大智，大慧，大圓，大覺南來把技開中百粵. 大智大慧末聞傳徒，大圓大覺雖有甚少. 當升隆长老卓锡肇慶鼎湖山上慶雲寺 時，更收高要王隐林，清遠陳蔭, 化县周香, 廣信朱子堯遮诸先生為徒, 駐南海麻车寶象林, 始收黃林开先生，合稱为五君子. 及後有传, 而黃林開師祖则纳吳肇 鍾，吳肇燦, 卢山, 鍾灿容等為徒，而吳肇 鍾宗師兼承朱子堯傳授心法与金如來佛像，以为传统之寶,并以祖师堂联语為为衍之助曰：[唯，德，永，耀，守，道，超，玄]蓋昭慎垂遠之至意也.

吳肇鍾宗師又號白鶴道人，吳肇鍾宗師能文能武，十八歲設舘授徒，著作[拳經]，此後吳肇 鍾宗師於廣州，澳門與香港等地传授白鶴派拳術.
