Our Instructors
Instructors who stay. Several on this roster have taught here since the school's founding years, and the join dates tell that story better than any slogan.
Those who carry the system
Grandmaster Sifu Tai Yim passed the lineage to his most dedicated students on 17 September 2006. The 9th Generation Masters carry the values, the ancestral wisdom and the tradition of the Hung Fut style, and the school is led by them today.
