Kung Fu
White Dragon teaches a powerful and practical style of Kung Fu called Choy Li Fut. Choy Li Fut is unsurpassed as a practical self-defense system because of its unique versatility. One of the most popular systems in mainland China, Choy Li Fut is one of the few Kung Fu styles that combines the in-close fighting and hand techniques of traditional Southern Chinese Kung Fu with the kicking and fast moving footwork found in Northern styles. In addition to kicking and striking, Choy Li Fut also includes the study of joint locking, pressure points, and ground fighting. Choy Li Fut also includes the study of a wide variety of traditional Chinese weapons.
Sometimes called Chinese Kickboxing, Kung Fu is one of the oldest Asian self-defense systems dating back to the Shaolin Temple over 1500 years ago. In addition to being one of the oldest and most effective forms of self-defense, Kung Fu is well known for its many extraordinary health benefits.
Tai Chi Chuan
White Dragon teaches the complete Yang style Tai Chi system, one of the most widely practiced forms of martial arts in the world. Yang family Tai Chi is well known for its many health benefits. Famous for its graceful and gently flowing movements, Tai Chi emphasizes calming the mind and releasing mental and physical tension. A few minutes a day spent performing Tai Chi will help prevent stress-induced illnesses like high blood pressure, digestive problems, and heart disease. Through regular practice, Tai Chi also improves balance, flexibility, coordination, leg strength and self-defense ability.
The Tai Chi program at White Dragon is one of the most comprehensive and authentic in the country. Our students not only learn how to meditate and do the movements correctly but they learn the self-defense aspect of the art as the original founders of Tai Chi intended.
