Martial Arts School

Ji Lung Kuo Shu Guan

It is with great pleasure that we present to prospective students this unique form of Chinese Martial Arts Training.

---

The Winged Dragon Chinese Martial Arts School sponsors a program of Chinese Martial Arts Training designed to offer prospective students the opportunity to learn traditional Chinese Martial systems of Southern China. A program of Chinese traditional weaponry, empty hand fighting, self defense, Asian culture, and physical conditioning is available to qualified applicants in the school.

 

We provide the best in practical application of the Art of Self Defense and promote harmony and peace as a path to betterment of community and self.

The system of martial arts taught by the school is called "CHUNG KUO CHUAN - KUOSHU", which means Chinese Boxing - National Art of Martial Technique". The System reflects the training postures of the Tiger, Crane, Dragon, and Praying Mantis. Most Chinese Arts are commonly referred to as Kung Fu, but this not actually a proper term since Kung Fu really means the accomplishment of any task or hard work. In China the proper term that is used is WUSHU (military art), while Taiwan uses the term KUOSHU (National Art). The techniques taught in the school can trace their roots back to the original style which came from the Shaolin temples of Hunan and Fukien in mainland China.

Our purpose is to develop competent Martial Arts students for the betterment of the student, the community, and our society. It is our hope the Martial Arts will be looked upon for its values.
