林宗師乃廣東省博羅縣仍圖鎮埔頭村人士，從少六歲隨父親林慶元公習武學醫，於 22 歲因緣，獲拜羅浮山華首台寺主持大玉禪師門下深造，藝成下山，將從前父所授海豐師及後學大玉師之梅花七路拳術，融會貫通，始創立東江龍形拳。所以有:「先學海豐成妙業，後從華首得真傳」之說。技成在惠州、惠陽、博羅、龍門、增城等地授徒無數，中年到廣州市以「龍形摩橋亅 拳術威震武林，有「東江老虎」 之稱號。曾受陳濟棠將軍聘任教燕塘軍校、保安隊、教導團及兩廣國術館等。
林宗師於 1956 年定居香港，1965 年仙歸道山、福祿壽全、享年91歲。宗師訓言: 「克己讓人非我弱 存心守道任他強亅，為所有門人之座右銘。現龍形拳術已傳揚之海外內，除廣東惠州、惠陽、博羅、仍圖、龍門、廣州、佛山、三水、花都、清遠、東莞、深圳、廣西南寧、梧州等地域廣為流傳外，香港、澳門、台灣、美國、英國、法國、德國、愛爾蘭、加拿大、澳洲、墨西哥、巴西、荷蘭、羅馬、巴拿馬等都有龍形武術團體。

1965 年林耀桂宗師逝世後，各弟子遵照其遺願，要成立龍形總會，以便團結龍形弟子。由長子林煥光、次子林燦光、聯同旅港及海外弟子潘芳、鄺元、楊樹、邱昌、楊楠、李南、麥準、雷林、張耀泉、林俊興、林立基、徐耀祥、曹森、區彪、韓潤生、鄒福、林漢、劉誠、李發、陳昌、楊世源等門人的努力，各方奔走及聯絡，募集資金，於1969年成立龍形體育總會。最初設會所於彌敦道，於1970 年第一屆職員就職翌年，執行委員會，議決購置永久會所，最後在九龍上海街675A三樓設立永久會所。會所內並設置 『耀桂堂』，作為龍形弟子之總祠堂，共同團結，發揚龍形拳術。 成立至今不經不覺已有差不多半個世紀。回想這漫長的四十六年，賴著各同寅的努力及各友好的支持和鼓勵，走過了不少艱辛的路途，會務得而逐步成長茁壯。

After the grandmaster Lam Yiu-kwai passed away in 1965, his disciples have followed his will to establish the Dragon Sign Athletic Association in Hong Kong. The purpose was to unite those Dragon Style practitioners. With the joint effort of his sons Lam Woon-kwong and Lam Chan-kwong, many disciples of Hong Kong and overseas were called upon to fund the foundation of Dragon Sign Athletic Association.
In 1969 the Association was established and initially located in Nathan Road Mongkok. In 1970, during the first Membership Meeting, the committee agreed to purchase a unit as permanent headuarter of the association. Consequently, the association was moved to 675A, 3/Floor, Shanghai Street, Kowloon in 1971. The premise was named "Yiu Kwai Hall" in order for the Dragon Style disciples to pay respects and loyalty to the Grandmaster. It also serves to unite and promote Dragon Style Marital Art.
Today, Dragon Style Marital Art has spread worldwide. Affliated associations are found in many provinces in Mainland China including Hui Zhou, Guang Zhou,Fo Shan, Hua Du in Guangdong; as well as Nan Ning and Wu Zhou in Guangxi. Many Dragon Style Marital Art associations have also been established in cities such as Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, U.S.A., United Kingdom, Holland, France, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Maxico, Brazil, Germany and Panama.
