Kung Fu – Self-​defense and effective practical applications are the emphasis of Hung Gar, a style of Kung Fu that originated at the Shaolin Temple in Southern China. The Hung Gar practitioner combines internal and external power, while strengthening the body, bones, tendons, and ligaments.

History

Established in 2014.

Tiger-​Crane Kung Fu is the newest school which teaches Grandmaster Winchell P.C. Woo’s style of Kung Fu. It is a system of Kung Fu based on the 5 animals and 5 elements of traditional Hung Gar. It is a complete system because it contains both hard and soft, external and internal, yang and yin.

Grandmaster Woo has used his more than 60 years of Kung Fu experience to create 5 Elements Tai Chi. He is the direct descendant from a lineage of masters from the Shaolin Temple of Southern China.

It has been said that, «Everything is Tai Chi.» The major difference between 5 Elements Tai Chi and other Tai Chi styles is the combination of healthy relaxing Qi Gong (Chi Kung) with practical applications for self-​defense.

Everyone benefits, regardless of age!
