The Art

Throughout the lineages of its custodians, the art has further improved, continually making it more dynamic whilst keeping the concept of its original teachings.

One only has to look at the school motto which has been handed down since the inception of the art. It has been taught to every student in each generation.

A new practitioner starting in this art will learn "Respect", train "To be a Good Person” and lastly: “Kung Fu”.

The Chinese Kung Fu Academy offers a 4 week Introductory Course to those who wish to find out more about our style.

The new practitioner will be introduced to the Tong Long System gradually.
