Kung Fu
Kung Fu training at Hung Tao Choy Mei requires no equipment--just hard work, and a focused mind. Kung Fu training is an integral part of both our children's and adult programs
Hung Tao Choy Mei and Jow Ga:
A Fusion of Power and Precision
The name of our school is a Cantonese expression meaning Hung Head (Hung Tao) Choy Tail (Choy Mei). The hard-hitting hand techniques of Hung style make up one half of our Kung Fu, while precision kicks and swift footwork of Choy style are the other half.
Jow Ga is the name of the style that includes Hung and Choy styles as well as techniques from Northern Shaolin and animal patterns. Jow is the last name of the family that founded and taught the style in Hong Kong and mainland China.
What You'll Learn
Our school proudly offers Jow Ga Kung Fu classes tailored for adults of all ages. Whether you're looking to train for a short period or over a longer period, our flexible programs are designed to accommodate your busy lifestyle.
We understand that adults have demanding work schedules, personal responsibilities, or may be passing through the city on assignment. That's why our adult class rates are affordable and require no long-term contracts. All we ask is that when you join us, you come ready to work hard and give it your best!
Our training program includes:
