Chan Family Wing Sing Tong Instructor - Sifu Dutch Jenkins              "I believe you can accomplish anything through training in Choy Lee Fut!"

We understand female students can be particularly apprehensive about joining a martial arts school because there are always many more men than women training, and women may not feel confident enough to practice and compete with them. HERE, WE ARE "FAMILY"! We are working to empower women and to spread Choy Lee Fut to all those who want to learn this traditional and effective martial art. We want to encourage everyone to come train with us! Man, woman and child! Two of our most senior students are young ladies! Come check us out and see what you can accomplish with Chan Family Choy Lee Fut!!!

Children are especially welcome since there are so many benefits for them in practicing martial arts. They will improve cardiovascular and muscular strength, as well as coordination and balance. In our school, children will NOT be jumping and running around with no structure. We are not a day care! We will be teaching real fighting skills along with lessons in focus, discipline, and respect! This will help their improvement in health, performance in school, overall behavior, focus and concentration...better EVERYTHING! Come join us and become a part of our family...the Chan Family!!!

Ok, for those of you out there that think Kung Fu doesn't work in the ring or cage...come train with us for a month and see if we can't change your mind! We have separate classes for those interested in fighting amatuer or professionally. Our group of fighters are known as the Shaolin Death Squad, and they only learn Choy Lee Fut techniques that WORK in the ring or cage. Choy Lee Fut is Chinese MMA! Choy Lee Fut was founded by Chan Heung, who had three different teachers from the Shaolin order, and he synthesized everything he learned (without throwing out anything!) and created Choy Lee Fut. Choy Lee Fut uses every part of the body to fight with, and has techniques that are effective no matter who you are...you adapt Choy Lee Fut to you, rather than adapting yourself to the art (like so many other styles of fighting). Come check us out!!!

Lohan Qigong (pronounced Chi Kung) is the more "internal" or "soft" aspect of the Choy Lee Fut System. It is both a physical and mental exercise practiced to help maintain health and harmony. It does this by using movement and breath control to manipulate the flow of Qi (Chi) along the body's meridians. Qi refers to "vital energy". It must be distributed harmoniously throughout the mind and body to attain and maintain health. People who practice Qigong experience lower blood pressure and improved circulation. It also has a calming effect on the nervous system, and is therefore beneficial in helping to treat anxiety, insomnia and depression. Qigong is ideal for rehabilitation as it also helps to repair inflamed and degenerated tissue, as well as stimulate the immune system. It is also especially useful for older persons and those whose bodies can no longer tolerate rigorous exercise. Come see how we can help you gain health and harmony in your life!
