      Kung Fu

      • Eagle Claw as it is practiced today can be characterized by the use of claw techniques applied with speed and precision. Locks are a specialty of the system coming directly from the "108" hand techniques of Ngok Fei. The hands are capable of quick punches in combination with various palm strikes. Footwork consists of kicks (both very high and very low) in combination with sweeps and trips. Body movements are smooth using the twisting of the waist and quick agile stepping. Stances are low and sturdy. Flips, dives, and splits are also distinguishing features of the Eagle Claw System.

      Tai Chi Chuan

      • Today Tai Chi is taught mostly for health today, but you can learn it as a martial art as we teach it gaining proficiency in the martial aspects as well as for health requires practice and time.
